The Hidden Archives Podcast

Missing Parts

Upon research, we here at the Hidden Archives have discovered that tonight's tale started as a suicide note. It is safe to say that this story is non-fiction (as is every tale we share), albeit slightly metaphorical. Depression is a very real horror. Please, if you suffer, seek help. There is no shame in this. 

The Twelve Days Of Christmas

In our annual holiday episode for 2020, we hear the tale of a man who has moved to the town of Bowstring Wyoming. Being from a large city, and then moving to a country town is a big adjustment. However, with the holidays around the corner, he gets the idea to celebrate as the locals do. This should be no big deal, but when a small accident happens, a world of chaos is unleashed in the days leading up to Christmas. 

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

This week, we are addressed by someone who has done something very bad. You see, he has killed someone and needs to tell his side of things, if for nothing else, just to try and make some sense to himself about what has happened and how. As you will see, an explanation of how things happen is easy. But coming up with a reason "why" often leaves us with more questions than answers. 

Divine Intervention

Being a single parent is difficult. Even more so when you are trying to balance your work and family life. It can be challenging to know whether or not you are making the right decisions for you and your family - especially in the face of tragedy. In tonight's story, Rodney Strickland get's some help with these issues through what he believes to be Divine Intervention. But we are left to wonder if maybe this form of assistance is doing more harm than good. 

Let Me Tell You About My Wife

Managing and maintaining a relationship can be hard. This can be compounded when it seems like the other party in that relationship seems disinterested. Change can often be daunting and difficult when this is the case. So, when something does change, especially if that change is quick and drastic, it may raise some questions. In tonight's story, we find out what happens when the protagonist of our story is faced with this exact scenario. 

Roadkill

In this, the season2 opener, we meet the unfortunate souls Kenny and Kyle. Already responsible for grand theft auto, they decide to make matters worse by drinking and driving, and animal abuse. However, on many nights of the year, especially Halloween, the dead and dishonored have their chance at justice - and this includes Roadkill. 

The Thief

This weeks story is abstract horror. If this is a new or strange idea to you, don't worry - you're not alone. In fact, the character in the story has his own struggles trying to make sense of a fractured reality. 

What Do You Remember About Channel Three?

Often, indulging in some nostalgia is a welcome respite from the troubles of the day. It allows one to go back to a time when things were better, or easier. But, as we find out in this feature, this seemingly innocent indulgence in the past might be more trouble than we bargained for. 

Thirst

Obsession can take many forms. However, obsession in any form can be a very disturbing and overwhelming condition. What happens when it consumes someone? What happens when simple indulgence in the obsession isn't enough anymore? In this episode, we find out exactly what can happen when things go to far, and we find out what might happen when someone is offered a lifeline out of obsession. Even if the price to pay is a great one, it may still be worth it in order to move on. 

Charlie and Lady In The Glass

Our feature this week contains two stories about love and loss. In "Charlie," we meet a young boy struggling to make sense of the strange and dark circumstances in which he finds himself. In "Lady In The Glass," a man tries to remember how he knows an enigmatic, but beautiful and kind, intruder.
