Have Yourself a Very Mothman Christmas
In November 1966, a winged creature with glowing red eyes began terrorizing the small town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia — and thirteen months later, just ten days before Christmas, the Silver Bridge collapsed during rush hour, killing 46 people returning home from holiday shopping. Was the Mothman a harbinger of doom... or something far more sinister? | WEEK OF DECEMBER 21, 2025 #WDRadio ========== HOUR ONE: Most all of us think of Christmas as a time of love, warmth, joy, and charity… but for some, Christmas isn’t merry at all… it’s murderous. We’ll look at some horrific holiday murders and the killers behind them. And more! But first… we visit Point Pleasant, West Virginia during the Holidays of 1967… but we don’t see a sleigh and reindeer in the sky… we see a nightmare. ========== HOUR TWO: Christmas is supposed to be the merry season with joy and light in the darkness. But many places arehaunted by ghosts and paranormal activity during this time. In fact, many of the ghost stories I’ll share tonight are haunted especially around Christmas. ========== SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: “Rejected Christmas Gift Ends In Murder” *** “The Lawson Christmas Massacre” ========== SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT’S SHOW: “Overshadowing Christmas With Tragedy” by Julie Henthorn: https://tinyurl.com/3e2a5dr6 “Have Yourself a Very Mothman Christmas”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/mrxt43wx “Bruce Pardo: Killer Santa”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8c78vd “Kristy Bamu’s Cruel Christmas”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8k3mys “The Tradition of Christmas Ghost Stories”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yckzjuwk “Christmas Hauntings”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8ja4rz “The Mistletoe Bride”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/26ak3rxs “Fatima’s Harp”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3pe7cne8 “A Royal Christmas Haunting”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3fyzhj6p “The Highway Man”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8h68z3 “The Brown Lady”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yc7z852v ========== Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.
