Tonight on THE SHADOW HOUR: Always after me lucky charms

10:00 PM CST, TONIGHT: It’s that time of the week… time to ease into your favorite chair, sit back and relax as we explore the sublime world of the strange, the odd, and the unusual. It’s time once again for… The Shadow Hour.

This last weekend, Chris went to a reunion of people from his High School drama group. His teacher, Chuck Lytle, performed a ritual that was done before every show. He passed around a little toy mouse — the same one in fact! — and everyone got to rub it for luck. The feelings that moment brought back were so tangible that Chris has decided to devote tonight’s open lines program to talking about luck. Do you believe in it? Can we affect it? Can we change it?

Call in with your own stories and perspectives and tell us about your own lucky charms.

As always, you can listen right here with our blogtalkradio widget! You can listen to past broadcasts at any time, or tune in tonight (Wednesday, July 27th) at 10pm Central for the live broadcast. See you in the shadows…

MAN RISES FROM THE DEAD

In Victorian times, people were terrified of being buried alive. Elaborate devices were designed (and sold) to help alert people if a soul was unfortunate enough to wake up buried in their coffin. Fortunately, medical technology has advanced so that we we have a number of ways to detect life. The days of someone being accidentally buried alive are behind us… or are they?

In Eastern Cape, South Africa, a man woke up to find himself on the cold, steel of an examining table. His family took him to the private mortuary when they could not wake him on a Saturday and presumed him dead. He had been there for 24 hours when he frightened the attendants, asking to be let out of the chilly room.

The gentleman was taken to hospital and did not need further treatment. The South African medical community urges families to consult with a doctor before presuming that someone is dead.
