RAS #600 – The 600th Show

This is #600 of Ron’s Amazing Stories. This time around I am going to just take it all in and say, man have I really done 600 podcasts. I think back to episode one of the show. It was not very good, and I didn’t have any idea of what I was doing or where it was all going to lead. But, here we are today and I have to say that I am happy with where it has all gone. There are so many people to thank that I won’t even try. Over the next few shows I hope to do that by bringing some of those folks back. Well see how that goes.

So what are we going to do on this show? We have an audiobook review of an audible original, three brand new stories sent in by you for you, a creepy tale suggested and read to us by James, and our featured story looks at the end of the world from a robot’s point of view. We also have a special edition of Johnny Is It True 600th show edition. So, press that play button and enjoy the show. Happy 600th!

Featured Story – The Ultimate Experiment

The Ultimate Experiment

Our featured story is one that we have had on the show before, but it remains a favorite. It is a fact that we all have a mortality date. But what about the human race? I think that it is pretty clear we humans have an expiration date as well. The question should be, what will we leave behind? Our story explores that idea and gives one plausible answer. It is titled The Ultimate Experiment written by Thornton Deky. It first appeared in Comet Magazine in July of 1941.

No living soul breathed upon the earth. Only robots, carrying on the last great order.

Stories Include – Diamond Smugglers, The Dispatcher, Annie It’s Not Making Any Noise, Did you see that?, The Whitney Restaurant, The Ultimate Experiment, Johnny, is it True – The 600th Epsiode, and An Incident On Route 12

The Porch Ghost

Mike in Chicago sent this one a few years ago in response to a story that we had on the podcast. A woman was warned, by a ghost child, of a car that was going to hit the house. Sure enough later that night a car slammed into the bedroom wall. Because of the warning she had decided to sleep in her daughter’s room. Everyone was safe. I never actually read this on the show, but it is an amazing story.

The Porch Ghost

My grandfather told me this story about how one time he was sitting in a chair in front of the house, when he heard his wife repeatedly calling him from inside the house. The thing is, my grandmother passed away a few years before that. But he told me that the voice was so pressing that he actually got up to look inside the house, and as soon as he got inside he heard a loud crash behind him and turned around to see that the chair he has been sitting in moments ago had been crushed by the cast iron gutter that fell on it. If he hadn’t come inside the house he would have probably been seriously injured. I don’t know if it’s paranormal or not, but every time I think about it it sends chills down my spine. – Mike

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we don’t get many tales like these. I really think that more events like this happen all the time, but we tend to brush them off. Whether guardian angel or ghost does it really matter? 

This Week’s Podcast:

On the show this week we have three of your stories; a UFO encounter in Arizona, a collection of tales from a haunted home, and one titled The Whitney Restaurant. Also, James suggests a story and reads it for us. It is titled An Incident On Route 12. You can listen to this podcast on Thursday at Ron’s Amazing Stories, download it from Apple Podcasts, stream it on Stitcher Radio or on the mobile version of Spotify. Do you prefer the radio? We are heard every Thursday at 10:00 pm and Sunday Night at 11:00 PM (EST) on AMFM247.COM. Check your local listing or find the station closest to you at this link

RAS #599 – Journey To The Center Of The Earth

On Ron’s Amazing Stories we have Journey To The Center Of The Earth week. I’m going to tell you all about the original work. We have a listener story inspired by the tale, and then we listen to a 70’s radio adaptation of the Jules Vern classic. So grab a favorite beverage, press that play button, and enjoy the show.

Featured Story – Journey To The Center Of The Earth

Jules Vern

Our featured story comes from The General Mills Radio Adventure Theater. It premiered on the CBS Radio Network in 1977 with Himan Brown as producer and director. They took classic adventure stories and turned them into radio dramas. Some of the titles they presented were The Last Of The Mohicans, King Soloman’s Mines, The Red Badge Of Courage, and many others. One of the most popular stories was Journey To The Center Of The Earth. The question is could they mash that story down into less than 40 minutes? Well, today we are going to find out. It first aired on CBS radio on March 24, 1977.

Other Stories Include – The Broken Wheel, Review – The Journey To The Center Of The Earth, The Cave Of The Winds, and Journey To The Center Of The Earth

Night Knockers

This story was posted on the website by Darren Mince from Ontario, Canada. Darren has titled the story, Night Knockers.

Knck Knock!

Back when I was doing my 1st year surgical residency, after a 16 hr strenuous shift, I was tired and was desperate for sleep. I went to the Doctor’s lounge which was located next to a cardiac ICU which was on the 2nd floor of the building. The room was small with two barracks. Around 3 a.m I heard a knocking coming from the wall just adjacent to my bed. The knocks were so loud that it disturbed my sleep. This happens for three consecutive nights. I couldn’t tolerate it anymore and called security to see who was responsible. On hearing my problem, they were shocked and told me the room next to mine was a medical ward which had been closed for almost 15 years due to a fire accident. They went on to say that many people were trapped and perished in the fire. I went to check out the ward and sure enough it was locked down. 

I got permission and with security in tow we went into the ward. The place was a burned shambled mess. I went to the wall that is shared with the doctor’s lounge and found places where it looked as if someone had tried to pound their way out. Other than that the place was empty.

I don’t know what happened but it could be said what I heard were those desperate souls, trapped in that ward, attempting to escape. Many doctors who have slept in the lounge have had similar experiences. From that day onwards whenever I pass from the 2nd floor lobby it gives me goosebumps. – Darren Mince

That is a story that makes you say. Hmmm. I think the thing that got me were the marks on the wall. That just sounds creepy. Thank you Darren for sharing your story.
