(The Great War’s Christmas Truce) *** The case was so mysterious it was even featured on TV’s “Unsolved Mysteries” and “America’s Most Wanted”: who committed the Christmas murder of Latricia White? And what happened to Lee and Chance Wackerhagen? (An Unsolved Christmas Murder Mystery) *** We’re so used to seeing old St. Nick showing up with a big bag of toys for the kiddies – but what if he arrived with another bag full of switches for your parents to use the whole year through if you were on his naughty list? We’ll look back at when Santa wasn’t purely jolly and jovial, and when he arrived to dole out both presents and punishment! (Santa’s Naughty List) *** The Los Feliz murder mansion became the site of a horrifying and sad Christmas tragedy for one California family. (Christmas At The Los Feliz Murder Mansion) *** A haunting holiday mystery took place in England in 1916 when a young bride simply disappeared without a trace. (The Vanishing Christmas Bride) *** A man tries to take on supernatural forces – and ends up as an undead creature who appears as a terrifying Yuletide spirit. (A Living Dead Yule Haunting) *** (Originally aired December 14, 2021)<br />SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…<br />“A Living Dead Yule Haunting” by Ellen Lloyd for Ancient Pages: <a href="https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/39y7ubu5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/39y7ubu5</a><br />“The Great War’s Christmas Truce” by Erin Kelly for All That’s Interesting: <a href="https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/ytv6zdy2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/ytv6zdy2</a><br />“Santa’s Naughty List” by Troy Taylor: <a href="https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yc5cszy7" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yc5cszy7</a><br />“Christmas At The Los Feliz Murder Mansion” by Colleen Conroy for Ranker’s Unspeakable Times:<a href="https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p99t2kw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p99t2kw</a><br />“An Unsolved Christmas Murder Mystery” from Mystery Confidential: <a href="https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/pzzyfatw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/pzzyfatw</a><br />“Have Yourself a Flying Saucer Christmas” by Beth Colman for Mental Floss: <a href="https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/ycxv3w49" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/ycxv3w49</a><br />“The Vanishing Christmas Bride” from Strange Company: <a href="https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3nkcxes4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3nkcxes4</a><br />Visit our Sponsors & Friends: <a href="https://weirddarkness.com/sponsors" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.com/sponsors</a><br />Join the Weird Darkness Syndicate: <a href="https://weirddarkness.com/syndicate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.com/syndicate</a><br />Advertise in the Weird Darkness podcast or syndicated radio show: <a href="https://weirddarkness.com/advertise" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://weirddarkness.com/advertise</a><br />= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =<br />Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.
