Spooky A S

On tonight's remix episode, we go back to 2016 when Eric made Tom watch An American Werewolf in London for the very first time! Eric grew up watching and loving the film, Tom had never seen it...what does the film look like through these different sets of eyes? And why are nurses so DTF with werewolves? These questions and more will be discussed on tonight's Spooky Times!!! spookyas.com facebook.com/spookytimeswithericd Music by Occultic Overtones

Welcome to the first official episode of the newly-rebranded Spooky Times!!! Host Eric D will explain the rebranding at the end of the episode but first let's talk about The Gloucester Sea Serpent! During the summer of 1817 hundreds of credible witnesses claimed to have seen something very unusual in and around Gloucester Harbor. No-one could say exactly what it was and they sometimes disagreed about what it looked like, but most described a 50 to 100 foot long sea serpent frolicking in the harbor. Some wanted to worship it, some wanted to kill it, everyone wanted to know what the hell it was! Much of tonight's story comes from an article entitled The Myth and Mystery of The Great Gloucester Sea Serpent by Tom Halsted writing for The Gloucester Daily Times. facebook.com/spookytimeswithericd spookyas.com Music by Occultic Overtones

On June 24, 1947, experienced pilot Kenneth Arnold saw something strange in the sky over Washington State. He described the UFOs in various ways, but he compared their movement to saucers skipping across water. The press dubbed them "flying saucers" and a legend was born. Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about Arnold's encounter is that numerous other people claimed to have seen them as well. But just what was everyone seeing? That's what the government wanted to know and the theories came fast and furious.
