RAS #492 – Cryptid

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this time we simply have Cryptids. All of the stories deal with cryptozoology and the creatures that they encompass. We have thunderbirds, bigfoot, skinwalkers, and even deadly insects. If you fear any of these creatures you might want to skip this one. However, if you do you will miss some pretty amazing stories.

Featured Story – The Man That Insects Hated

Our featured story for this week is all about insects. Humans have always feared them, loathed them, and wanted them gone. Professor John Hanson is hipped on the subject of bugs and wants to rid the world of them. The problem is he thinks they all know it and hates him for it. The story comes from the OTR series The Mysterious Traveler and is titled The Man The Insects Hated. It first aired on July 14, 1947.

Other Stories Include – Methodical To A Fault, Adventures in Cryptozoology, Do You Believe In Werewolves, Was That A Thunderbird, Yeti Throws Rocks, Okay, I believe You Now, and The Man The Insects Hated

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we have a show full of ghost busting, or to put a finer point on it paranormal investigations. We review the audiobook Ghost Hunters: Who They Are and What They Do, and have two listener stories on the subject. We then present an OTR classic titled The Ghost Hunt and we end the show with another Johnny Is It True – Ghost Hunter Edition. So much good stuff!

Our featured story for this podcast continues the theme of the show. It happens to be one of my favorite episodes from the annals of old-time radio. It is titled Ghost Hunt and tells the story of a disc jockey who spends the night in a haunted house…with surprising results. It is a well-written ghost story with a fine performance from Ralph Edwards. It comes from the OTR series Suspense and it first aired on June 23, 1949.

Other Stories Include – Blood Will Tell, The Ghost Hunters: Who They Are and What They Do, Lums Pond Murder, A Night In Yorktown, Ghost Hunt, and Johnny Is It True – Ghost Hunter Edition

RAS #490 – Seller Of The Sky

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we present a brand new segment called Paranormal Expeditions. I think you are going to like the concept and I look forward to hearing your feedback. Also, on the show Mitchell tells us a few stories from Selma, Ca, and we feature a classic sci-fi story from the pulp mags that really relates to our world today.

Featured Story – Seller Of The Sky

Our featured story comes from the Worlds of If Science Fiction, February 1955. It is titled Seller of the Sky and was written by Dave Dryfoos. No one took Old Arch seriously; he was just an ancient, broken-down wanderer who went about seeking alms and spreading tales of the great Outside. The children were curious and believing. However, the adults were cynical and doubting.

Other Stories Include: Remedy For Murder, Rivals! Frenemies Who Changed the World, The Good Witch in the Wizard Of Oz, My Father’s Shoes, My Little Angel, Paranormal Expeditions – May/Stringer House, and Seller Of The Sky

Program Links: On the show, Mitchell shared a link to a spooky song from the sixties called The Ghost of Beardsley Road. You can find it HERE. Also, on Paranormal Expeditions Emma shared her experiences at the May/Stringer House. You can read more about it or book a ghost tour HERE

Also on the show is a shadow story from Madison, NC that just might be creepiest yet. You will have to decide that yourself. It is titled That Shadow Shot Me.

In Episode RAS #485 – Dagger Heart Station we presented a story from the OTR series Buck Rogers. I asked for your feedback on this one via a poll. That poll is now closed and I want to thank all of you that took a moment to respond. Of the people that responded 70% of you made it pretty clear that Buck Rogers was not a fan favorite. 7% of you don’t ever want to hear from Buck again. That is good enough for me. Here is the link to the results. Thank you!
