Let's Get Dark: A Paranormal & Crime Podcast

The Andreasson family was going about their daily routine one evening in 1976 when a UFO landed in their backyard. There were flashing lights outside, the electricity went out in the house, and suddenly, there were visitors INSIDE the house, asking Betty Andreasson to come with them. Betty thought they may be sent from Jesus, but they sure looked like aliens. Eventually, they coerced her into joining them on their spacecraft, but that was just the beginning of her horrifying encounter. Join us as we dive into the Andreasson's close encounter of the fourth kind, and let's get dark.

In Let's Get Dark's very first "Midnight Session" episode (those with a paranormal/esoteric subject matter) we discuss the very first Poltergeist in a housing project in the US: the haunting of 13 year old Ernie Rivers and his grandmother Mabelle Clark. Ernie had a tumultuous childhood, which culminated in an incredibly active and physical poltergeist that tormented him & his grandmother for months in 1961. The fact that they lived in public housing, meant that various officials began interceding in their lives, and the activity escalated so terribly that Ernie was removed from his grandmother's custody. There were elements of race and class discrimination rampant throughout their entire ordeal, and one has to wonder how differently the situation would have been handled had they not been a poor black family. But, when it came down to it, no one who witnessed the activity in the apartment could rationally explain what was taking place there.
What happened at 125 Rose Street to Ernie and Mabelle? Join us as we take a dive into the "Project Poltergeist" rabbit hole, and Let's Get Dark.

Yaser Said moved to America from Egypt in 1983 and shortly after, at the age of 30, married 15 year old Patricia Owens. By the time she was 18, the couple had three children under the age of five, and severely struggled to make ends meet. Yaser was a controlling and abusive husband and father, particularly focusing his attention on his beautiful daughters, who he saw as a way to secure financial success once they were old enough to marry off to wealthy "suitors" back in Egypt. When they rebelled against this abuse, an already mentally troubled Yaser completely lost it, and the end result was the tragic and brutal murder of the two bright young women who were unfortunate enough to be born into this unstable family. Join us as we discuss the murders of Amina and Sarah Said at the hands of their father, Yaser.

Thank you for patiently waiting, my babes. This is the last solo episode for awhile!
Pardon my cold on this. <3
The Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God used fear of apocalyptic proportions to persuade its followers to give up all their earthly possessions and devote themselves to the cult. The abusive tactics are similar to many others we've discussed on the show before, and sadly, this didn't end any better than those. The majority of the Movement's followers would lose their lives to the homicidal tendencies of its leadership, being poisoned, bludgeoned, and trapped and a terrible fire, after one too many failed end of days predictions.
Dive with me down the cult rabbit hole, and Let's Get Dark.
