| 10/3/25 |  The Evil Stepmother & A Retrieved Memory | <p>Today’s first story… is written by Eleazar Nolan. This is a tale that has been passed down through Eleazar’s family. I’m told that Eleazar has been hunting for where this story may have originated. It’s subtly similar to an old brother’s Grim tale ‘The Juniper Tree’. This version feels like a natural American folk mutation of that old European root: it shifts the bones of the story into Illinois soil, adds religious framing, and swaps the bird transformation for a chilling chant. Honestly, that’s folklore doing what it does best — adapting to place, faith, and fear. But unique enough to be something new. Wherever it did come from here it is now Written by Eleazar Nolan and told by Wilhelm… The Evil Stepmother.</p><p>Then Argentinean author David Clark takes us on a journey for A Retrieved Memory.</p> | 39m 10s | ||||||

| 8/22/25 |  Relic | <p>Author Ryan Andrus asks the question... what if an object were to reach out across time and space to your awareness? What if that object became the sole desire of your life?

Our tale today dives into just that.</p><p><br></p><p>Look for more dark tales at <a href="https://frighteningtales.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Wilhelm Presents: Frightening Tales.</a></p> | 44m 20s | ||||||
