The Mannequin
Jun 3000:29:04Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailMannequins…sales enhancement, or inducers of terror? When you see a mannequin in a store window, do you stop to examine its garment offering, or watch its eyes to see if they follow you? For me, they are just giant dolls, and fall into the “yikes” category.In our story, “The Mannequin,” by R. J. Lawrence, a young man discovers his brother’s disturbing experiments on mannequins and meets a grisly fate. Nowadays, no one is surprised to see a mannequin in a shop window or inside a shop.

The Message
Jun 1500:33:43Tap to summarizeSend us Fan Mail Have you ever heard a voice come through a radio that seemed misplaced? You might have heard a voice from beyond the veil. In our story, “The Message,” by Clinton Dangerfield, a death-row inmate and a chaplain hear a voice through the radio offering comfort. But is that truly what the spirit is offering? Trying to contact spirits through radio waves is not a new technique for communicating with the dead. Even Thomas Edison designed one in the 1920’s. There have been many designs since then but let’s look at its most modern counterpart, The Ghost Box.
