The Summer of Fear: The Night Stalker

Los Angeles in the summer of 1985 was supposed to feel glamorous…palm trees…neon lights…endless highways…and Hollywood dreams.  But while people slept with their windows open in the California heat, someone was moving through the darkness.  He climbed through unlocked windows and walked through unlocked doors.  With him, he carried guns, knives, tire irons, and rage.   So,  lock your doors, my spooky friends.  Today, you will hear the story of a serial killer who created a panic that was like nothing police had ever seen before.  But before we get started, I want to give you all a heads up.  Today, we will be talking about child abuse, animal abuse, sexual assault, graphic murders, extreme violence, and satanic symbolism.  Listener discretion is advised Our website is the spot for everything spooky!  Go to https://horrifying-history-shop.fourthwall.com to watch our history videos, find our social media links, read our spooky blog, get some great creepy merch, and join our fan club!
