Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Spooky Season

The Taos Hum is one of America’s strangest unexplained sound mysteries: a low-frequency noise heard by only a small percentage of people, often described as a distant diesel engine, electrical drone, vibration, or pulsing hum with no visible source.

In this episode of Terrifying & True, we investigate the mystery of the Taos Hum in northern New Mexico, where residents including Steve Walters, Bob and Catanya Saltzman, and K.C. Grams reported a persistent unexplained hum that disrupted sleep, concentration, balance, and daily life. Some heard it inside their homes. Some heard it outdoors. Some tried to escape it, only to wonder whether the sound had followed them.

As reports spread, the Taos Hum became more than a local complaint. Congressman Bill Richardson pushed for answers, and investigators from the University of New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, the Air Force’s Phillips Laboratory, and hearing researchers studied the phenomenon with microphones, antennas, magnetometers, geophones, low-frequency detectors, and public surveys.

Was the Taos Hum caused by industrial noise, power lines, electromagnetic fields, military experiments, extremely low-frequency transmissions, secret government technology, rare hearing sensitivity, or low-frequency tinnitus? Or is the truth even stranger: that “the Hum” may not be one mystery at all, but several different sound and perception phenomena gathered under one unforgettable name?

This episode explores the 1993 Taos Hum investigation, the science of low-frequency sound, tinnitus and auditory perception, government secrecy theories, New Mexico conspiracy fears, and why some mysteries remain terrifying even when the instruments record silence.

We’re telling that story tonight.

Unknown Broadcast returns with four old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage radio mystery, and eerie anthology drama pulled from somewhere beyond the static.

Tonight’s transmission begins aboard a deserted ghost ship, where the Annabella is found adrift with warm meals, a set table, and not a living soul on board. Then Escape invites us into a gentleman’s nightmare of cream tarts, secret clubs, death cards, and impossible exits. After that, Suspense takes us to a debt-ridden dude ranch where a missing guest, a forged check, and a body in a rumble seat turn yesterday’s confusion into tonight’s murder mystery. Finally, The Whistler follows a quiet bank teller whose perfect long-term theft becomes a perfect trap.

🔱 “Sea Fever” — CBS Radio Mystery Theater / Ian Martin
The Annabella should be an ordinary merchant ship, but bad luck clings to her from the start. A ruthless captain guards his mysterious wife, sailors vanish, whispers of mutiny rise, and the sea begins to feel less like water than judgment.🃏 “The Young Man with the Cream Tarts” — Escape / Robert Louis Stevenson
A bored prince follows a strange young man handing out cream tarts and discovers a hidden society where desperate men gamble with death. One card selects the victim. Another selects the killer.
🌙 “Last Night” — Suspense / Cornell Woolrich
Jacqueline and Gil Blaine are buried in debt at a dude ranch when a wealthy guest vanishes, money goes missing, and suspicion begins circling closer and closer. The answer is hidden in a car, a corpse, and one terrible night no one can quite explain.
💰 “Fool’s Gold” — The Whistler
Herbert Lang has spent years planning the perfect bank theft. He knows the dates, the money, the route, and the escape. But greed, murder, and one dead man’s secret turn his fortune into something he can chase forever and never find.

Four stories. Four impossible exits. Tonight, the dead are at sea, the cards are already dealt, and every fortune comes with a curse.

Tonight on Thursday Thrills, we head into the woods for Siren Head, the internet urban legend that turns emergency sirens, storm warnings, distorted broadcasts, and lonely rural roads into pure nightmare fuel. Created by horror artist Trevor Henderson in 2018, Siren Head became a modern folklore icon through TikTok, YouTube shorts, indie horror games, fan stories, and creepypasta-style sightings.

This show keeps the tone fun, spooky, and campfire-ready as we explore why a forty-foot siren-headed monster feels so strangely believable, how the legend spread online, why it connects to analog horror and emergency broadcast fears, and why the creature works best when it is half-glimpsed at the edge of a dark field.Is the siren warning you... or calling you closer?
