On this week we tackle the subject of the skinwalker with two creepy stories. Ron also gives some history and background on the origins of the beast. Then we have a full-on werewolf story from the annals of the golden age of radio. We end the show with another round of truth or fiction with Johnny Is It True - Strange History. You might not want to listen to this one alone! Featured Story - W Is For Werewolf Our featured story comes from a rare old-time radio series called Dark Fantasy. In the forties, people loved a good wolfman story, so it should come as no surprise that radio and cinema provided them. Some of the best was 1941’s The Wolfman, Cry Of The Wolfman from 1944, and of course a favorite of mine Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Now, in case you are wondering, a wolfman plays a significant role in that film. Our story is titled W is For Werewolf and first aired on February 13, 1942. Other Stories Include - Blood Brothers, Skinwalkers, The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, A Skinwalker Visitation, W Is For Werewolf, and Johnny Is It True - Strange History Ron’s Amazing Stories Sponsored by: Audible - You can get a free audiobook and a 30 day free trial at and - Good Treats for your dog to eat.
