Massive Silent Fang Recall
 
In a strange twist, a large manufacturer of wax vampire fangs is frantically trying to recall the popular Halloween treats… all the while not saying a word about the recall to anyone.  The problem?  An unexpected additive in the blood-red dye of the lips.

The Slobberer
​In the wake of multiple Flickerlights sightings over the past weeks, many DHP listeners have begun reporting frightening experiences with a shadowy figure in the middle of the night...  What is this sinister apparition doing that petrifies victims so?  Here is a hand-sketched Listener depiction of a Slobberer visitation he recently suffered:

The Cats That Run The Place
​Budapest is the new home of a special cafe that caters to coffee and tea drinkers like any other cafe, but whose proprietors are a sophisticated family of felines with special gear and talents for the brewing business.

Orang Of A Different Color
​Reports out of Sumatra indicate that a guerilla force of Orang Pendak, a tiny version of bigfoot local to that area known for a particularly strong love of fruit and disregard for the law, is building up.  Could this be prelude to an invasion of Hungary?​

Neptune... King Of The Sea?
​Scientists working on the DNA materials of the 120 foot tongue that recently flopped ashore in Australia (currently the subject of a massive coverup by the Australian Tourism Board) have made tentative links between this and two other beasts so powerful... that they have dubbed the unknown specimen Neptune!

The team discusses the possibility that a particularly pesky breed of Bamboo is making its way out of the Congo to the U.S. and other countries... and why this could be bad news for many of us.

New Darkhallow Paranatural Web Site Launched!
If you're reading this, then you're soaking in it!  Jay wasn't sure our web designers will win awards for the work, but all agreed it is a job well done.

Firenados Rage Through The Ukraine
Firenados, an unholy marriage of flame and tornado, have been striking at homes in the Ukraine, but only on even-numbered streets, and only damaging even-numbered houses.  Jay confirmed that spellcraft is the most likely culprit for controlling a firenado - and they certainly do appear to be controlled by some intelligence, but believed psychics were unlikely to be involved.  Alex admitted he had never encountered a firenado first hand.  Thankfully.

Psychics Being Used In Job Interviews And In Courtrooms
The Darkhallow Crew was outraged at the use of psychics to peek into minds of job applicants, and Michael in particular was saddened at such application in the Justice System.  Alex recounted how a psychic reached into his mind once, and immediately fell over crying, curling up into the fetal position.  Way to go, Alex... what's up there in that head of yours?

Giant Monitor Lizard Sightings In Southern Florida
Large monitor lizards up to 9 feet long are being spotted in ever increasing numbers across southern Florida.  The team speculated that they may be breeding in the Everglades from released pets brought in from overseas.  Jay also admitted that it would be possible for a Hillbilly Chemist to enlarge the creatures...

Russian Astronomer Predicts Humans To Encounter Alien Cultures Within 20 Years
The Russian Astronomer may be unaware that we live among hidden aliens each day.  That's one of the primary driving factors for the TSA's backscatter scanning systems (which, by the way, may be causing cancer in the TSA employees running them according to recent news!)  The Crew decided that the astronomer must have been referring to alien

Web Site Overhaul
Setting up site to match the new format.  Complete remake.  Coming soon! 

Alligators Hatched From Chicken's Eggs
Kelly Walker, a Florida man raising chickens as a hobby, discovered baby alligators hatching from eggs in his chicken coop.  Amid the discussion of how such a thing could happen, Jay suggested that the chickens could be inadvertently cursing their own eggs with a simple ritual that even a chicken could perform.  Jay declined to go into detail on the ritual during the program, as we don't want people using these techniques against their enemies. 

Will Technology Soon Be As Powerful As Magic?
Conversation turned to the use of Augmented and Diminished Reality technologies and how they can shape the world we see through the proxy of a video feed.  Will technology catch up with Magic's ability to shape the real physical world?  Michael pointed out a Japanese pop group, AKB48, who recently had an additional member created from portions of existing members to accompany them in a television commercial.  Alex suggested that many people in Japan regularly associate with digital personas that are completely non-real.  Jay found the idea of technology overtaking magic's ability to change physical reality unlikely. 

Mysterious Noises Return To Annoy Floridians
Last weekend, there was a repeat of the loud and unexplained noise that woke Florida residents several weeks ago.  This time, it sounded strangely reminiscent of someone slurping cereal from a spoon... but for this volume, it would have to be a very large spoon being slurped by a giant.  While Alex had no insights on invisible giants, all three hosts agreed that cereal is a slurp-worth delicacy, and they really can't blame any invisible giants for indulging.  Michael floated the idea that perhaps the government is up to something underground in the Florida area. 

Huge Sea Monster Washed Ashore In China
A sea monster 55 feet long and weighing 4.5 tons washed ashore in China's Guangdong province.  The creature was found tangled in fishing nets, and is presumed to have pulled the fishermen who “caught” it to their deaths.  The remains are so decayed that they cannot be identified positively.  Michael pointed out that apparently it was still identifiable as a "Sea Monster".  Alex didn't believe the creature was, in reality, a giant chicken breast washed ashore.  All three agreed that giant sea creatures do exist, though Michael remains skeptical as to this example. 

The Vomiteer Continues To Strike...
Twice now, bags containing 35 pounds of human vomit inside a medical waste container have been discovered left in the parking lot of a Bed Bath and Beyond store.  Michael refused to name which store, as the intention is not to scare customers away.  Who would do such a thing?  Authorities believe it could be the work of someone paid to dispose of biohazard materials who is just too lazy to actually complete the job.  Police are looking for the vomiteer, who first struck late May, then again in early June only a few days later.  Jay explained how vomit is a sponge or shield against some forms of magic, and Alex was reminded of his recent trip to the Vampire House in Georgia due to the incessant retching of one of his companions on that trip.
