Man has always had a fascination with the things hidden in the dark corners of the world, the realm where everyday horrors, the often unjust and chaotic twists in life are given form: bogeymen and phenomenon cast in the shape of our very fears and insecurities. All that lurks just beyond the light of day. So, listener, join me, your host, Erick Johnson and the ill Tidings Podcast as we explore the monstrous and the macabre, the paranormal and the unexplained. From urban legends to folklore, extra sensory experiments, and UFOs. As a horror writer and musician, I craft a combination of chilling storytelling, sound design, and original music, with informative dissections of the cultural origins, the fears, and the science behind the things that go bump in the night. I hope to see you soon.
