Weird Darkness is narrated by professional full-time voice actor Darren Marlar. No A.I. voices are ever used in the show.<br /><br />IN THIS EPISODE: Joyce Vincent was a 38-year-old woman from London with a family and friends. So why did it take over two years for people to realize she had died? (No One Noticed She Was Dead) *** A castle in Scotland is so cursed that it has continued for several generations. (The Centuries Old Curse of Fyvie Castle) *** Year after year a 1950 photo from a German newspaper has continued to circulate amongst Ufologists and UFO enthusiasts. The story claims to show a short extraterrestrial humanoid standing next to two full-sized men. So why hasn’t Germany admitted to the photo’s validity? (The Little Green Man That Refused to Die) *** “The call is coming from inside the house.” These eight words have been uttered by countless children, and mark one of the most popular urban legends of all time. <a href="http://www.snopes.com/horrors/madmen/babysitter.asp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">This legend</a>, unfortunately, is rooted in a real unsolved murder case from 1950.
