  • NO ONE HEARD A THING ON CHESTNUT LANE: Inspired By a True Crime Case | #MurderNoir
    May 3 2025
    In the rain-drenched shadows of a small town, a jaded private eye digs into a decades-old family massacre — but what he uncovers inside the Nightingale house is darker, older, and far more restless than murder.

  • TERROR IN CHURCHILL’S GROVE: The Murder House on Camp Avenue No Trick-or-Treater Dares Visit
    May 3 2025
    The house on Camp Avenue is now for sale again – but they say it still holds the screams of six murdered children — and their father’s shadow still lingers, reliving the nightmare again and again.

    DISCLAIMER: Ads heard during the podcast that are not in my voice are placed by third party agencies outside of my control and should not imply an endorsement by Weird Darkness or myself. *** Stories and content in Weird Darkness can be disturbing for some listeners and intended for mature audiences only. Parental discretion is strongly advised.
    IN THIS EPISODE: The ax murders in Villisca, Iowa. The Defeo murders made famous by the Amityville Horror. Two crime scenes where no one heard a thing. The same thing happened in the charming little town of Churchill’s Grove… a story not so famous, but just as disturbing. And I bring it to you tonight, because the house itself is now for sale – bringing a whole new buzz among neighbors and residents of Rockford, Illinois.
