On this time we simply have Cryptids. All of the stories deal with cryptozoology and the creatures that they encompass. We have thunderbirds, bigfoot, skinwalkers, and even deadly insects. If you fear any of these creatures you might want to skip this one. However, if you do you will miss some pretty amazing stories. Featured Story - The Man That Insects Hated Our featured story for this week is all about insects. Humans have always feared them, loathed them, and wanted them gone. Professor John Hanson is hipped on the subject of bugs and wants to rid the world of them. The problem is he thinks they all know it and hates him for it. The story comes from the OTR series The Mysterious Traveler and is titled The Man The Insects Hated. It first aired on July 14, 1947.

RAS #493 - The Man Who Was Dead

On this time we really don’t have a theme for the show. However, what we do have are some amazing stories. We have Michael Caine telling us about his podcast, A ghost story from Pennsylvania, A skeleton that can walk and talk, and we end the program with a Black Bear who was a private in the Polish army during WWII. Does that sound Amazing? Featured Story - The Man Who Was Dead Our featured story for this week is nothing short of captivating and creepy. It was suggested to us by listener Tommy Howell. The storyline is incredible and is made all the more astonishing by the fact that comes to us from the April 1930 edition of Astounding Stories of Super-Science. It tells the tale of Jerry’s encounter with a skeleton that is alive! It is aptly titled The Man Who Was Dead and it is read to us by the very same person that suggested it, Tommy Howell.
