319: And the Call Was Coming from the Basement
For
Halloween, scary stories that are all true. Kidnappings, zombie
raccoons, haunted houses—real haunted houses!—and things that go
"EEEEK!!!" in the night. Plus, a new story by David Sedaris, in which
he walks among the dead.
Prologue.Host Ira Glass and
Albert Donnay read a true ghost story that appeared in a medical
journal in 1921. After a "Mrs H" and her family moved into an old
rambling house, strange apparitions started appearing...until her
brother-in-law figured out the real cause of the ghostly presences. (6
minutes)
Act One. The Hills Have Eyes.Some of the scariest stories happen when fluffy, innocent creatures turn murderously evil. This American Life producer Alex Blumberg tells one such story, about a raccoon gone bad. (11 minutes)
Song: "Evil," 45 Grave
Act Two. The Hitcher.Writer
Bill Eville and his brother are picked up late at night on the side of
the road...and not taken to their destination. (9 minutes)
Act Three. And the Call Was Coming from...the Listeners!Weeks
ago, we set up a special 800 number for listeners to call with their
true-life scary stories. Over five hundred people called. We hear a
sample. The scariest stories we got all had one thing in common. (9
minutes)
Act Four. Graveyard Shift.One Halloween,
David Sedaris decided to skip all the fake monsters and ghosts and
zombies and visit the real thing: dead people. In a morgue. (14 minutes)
Song: "The Boogie Monster," Gnarls Barkley

I was looking for an image From The Silencers (it's on this week) and I found some images at this site. Later, when checking my Technorati stats, I discovered that this guy favorite d me.....spooky! So I went back for a second look.... and fell into the vortex of his mind. This is a special experience if only for it'sobsessiveness and pathological imperfection. It's broad and deep and weird and to put it in his words: craunchy. KNSFW

Bientôt Halloween, un récap des tenues sexy de Paris HiltonHalloween, tout le monde connaît cette fête comme celle où on fait peur aux enfants, où on frappe à la porte et demande des bonbons, où on se raconte des histoires de fantômes, etc. Pour Paris Hilton, s’est surtout l’occasion de se déguiser, euh…déguiser ou s’habiller normale ?
Alice au pays des merveilles, militaire, policière, ou simplement en lingerie, Paris Hilton profite chaque année d’Halloween pour s’exhiber davantage qu’à son habitude. Elle écume alors chaque année les fantasmes masculins, mais alors, quel sera-t-il cette année ?
