Last year Lee had asked us to send in "News" stories.

http://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58515

I still have a couple on my computer that I sent in

Breaking News

There's been reports of strange happenings at Miskatonic University in New England. Calls to Dean Halsey have been unanswered. The family of Dr. Carl Hill, from the university, have also filed a missing persons report. A student by the name of Herbert West has come forward to assure the public that all is well and that Dr. Hill has merely buckled under the stress of their recent scientific experiment and lost his head.

I was very impressed with all the news items everyone submitted, and had a great time sharing them on the air. I lost them all in the crash.

A fire that ripped through a famous dance academy in Freiburg, Germany last night is being treated as suspicious.
It took 50 firefighters near about 20 minutes to contain the blaze to the three-stores dance Academy building.
The academy building was severely damaged but there is no human causality yet discovered.
A Police spokesperson said as there is no sign of any academy officials dead or alive, the fire was being treated as suspicious. Though most of the students remain unharmed from the heavy blaze as they were attending at a theater while the fire erupted & spread the whole dance academy building but some of them claimed one of the newly enrolled students, named Suzy Bannion wasn't with them last night & now reported missing by them. The Police are now looking for her whereabouts.
A crime scene guard will be in place until Arson and Explosive Squad detectives examine the scene this morning.
Police are appealing for anyone with any information about the fire to contact with them soon.

(from Suspiria, 1977)


We're sorry to interrupt this program to announce a very tragic but mysterious accident. The body of the eight-year-old Rhoda Penmark has been pulled from the Fern Country Bay early this noon. The father of the deceased, Col. Kenneth Penmark identified the body. The local authority is quite baffled at the moment as this is the 2nd Fern School drowning that happened within a week. As we reported, few days ago another eight-year-old, named Claude Daigle was accidentally drowned on the same place on their annual picnic of the Fern Country Day school.

It's a mystery how or what made both the children got on the abandoned pier on the Fern property that the students had been forbidden to play near or on it. Both the bodies were found off the end of the landing, wedged among the piling.

A Police spokesperson said they are now suspecting that there may be a connection between these 2 tragic accidents. They are waiting for the full recovery of the deceased Rhoda Penmark�s mother Christine Bravo Penmark who has been admitted into the local hospital just three days ago after making an apparent attempt of suicide. The police are expecting to get some answers from her on these tragic & mysterious drowning of 2 children as soon as the doctors authorized them to question Mrs. Penmark about the mysterious death of the 2 children.

More news of this tragic affair is expected momentarily.


(from The Bad Seed, 1956)

In an attempt to fill a fraction of a fraction of the void left by NEW, I humbly offer a new episode of my annual podcast:

http://weirdomaticwax.podomatic.com/

This episode is dedicated to NEW and Uncle Ozma.
