015: Condemned, Part Two - The Devil's Hour

from Pleasing Terrors

The time between three and four in the morning is said to be the hour when evil is at the height of it's power -- the time when the Devil ascends from Hell and ghosts haunt the land of the living. In part two of my experience of the Devil's hour inside Charleston's Old City Jail, I receive a message from Hell itself, and discover the truth about one of the jail's most famous prisoners -- Lavinia Fisher herself. Episode Highlights: 3 AM inside the Old City Jail Torture chambers, the crane of pain, and the hangman's lair Lorraine Warren visits the Old City Jail Footsteps in an empty corridor A child behind bars Lavinia Fisher and Daniel Duncan: Old City Jail's famous residents An exploration to the third floor My conversation with Bruce Orr: The truth about Lavinia Fisher Resources: Abode of Misery by David C.

Me and AU Procyon Podcast Network When Kate “ACunningPlan” Cunningham sparks up an online friendship with a fellow fanfiction writer it seems like the perfect distraction from a summer stuck in her hometown of Kamloops, B.C., not to mention the coming terrors of her final year of university and the Real Adult Future beyond. (Seriously, please don’t mention them.) After all, Hella--Enchanted is funny, smart and writes canon-divergent werewolf fic like no one else. She’s everything a fandom could ask for. But... what if she’s everything Kate could ask for, too? The Monster Hunters Definitely Human Take a trip back to swinging London in the early 1970s and meet Roy Steel, ex-big game hunter, and Lorrimer Chesterfield, a brain in the shape of a man. Together they are The Monster Hunters. Their mission: to protect the country from vampires, werewolves and a whole pantheon of unmentionable terrors! Taking its cue from the classic period of British horror and adventure, the 1960s and 70s, The Monster Hunters is a comedy adventure series written by and starring Peter Davis and Matthew Woodcock. Finding Raffi iHeartPodcasts and Fatherly Raffi Cavoukian is a magical musician. His songs, like “Baby Beluga” and “Down by the Bay,” have wordplay and rhyme schemes that are as crowd-pleasing as they come — sweet, silly sing-alongs for kids and adults alike. But his work is anything but simple. Much like the folk singers who inspired him, a radical philosophy underscores all that he does. In "Finding Raffi,” comedian, writer, and podcaster Chris Garcia takes us on a journey through a 10-part series tracing Raffi’s life from aspiring folk singer to international kids’ superstar to outspoken activist for climate action and a child-centric world. Produced in partnership with Rococo Punch.
