Tue, 26 Nov 2024 13:00:40 GMT

Hello Listeners,

This week we will conclude level 2 of The Darwin Project. When we last left James and Rebecca they were dealing with some unsavory creepy crawlies. And while I would love to tell you that it was all a fever dream, you will find that these monsters are the least of their problems. For those who are new here, I would suggest listening to the Darwin Project Level 1 from season 1, and then the first part of this story to understand what is happening.

S2E8: The Darwin Project - Level 2 Part 1

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 13:00:35 GMT

Hello Listeners,

We found a file here that was buried within our catalogue. And what a surprise it was to find. It appears that the Darwin Project has continued on. If you are new to the podcast or just need a refresher, go to season 1 and listen to both parts of the Darwin Project Level 1. This way you can understand fully, what is going on. But as a quick recap, we last left James and Rebecca at the end of level 1. The two had survived the horrors of the trials and were promptly sedated. Now, in this story we find them again. And in this two part episode, we will explore the depths and winding paths they must take to complete level 2.

For those wishing to receive more episodes you can go to our Patreon page and pledge $2 per month for a bonus short episode. In doing so you will become one of our interdimensional travelers. Further, you can go to our website and purchase merchandise or donate if you feel so inclined.

Now, on to our story. Strap in tight, the trials are about to begin.

Tue, 29 Oct 2024 12:00:53 GMT

S1E36: I Come In Peace

Tue, 13 Aug 2024 15:28:38 GMT

Hello Listeners,

I know you didn't hear my voice last week and I do apologize about that. Even the professor needs to take a short break from time to time. As an update, I wanted to thank all of you for getting us to over 400 followers on Spotify and collectively we have over 5,000 streams between our platforms. That is because of you and your dedication to our work here. I will remind you that if you are loving what we do please give the podcast a positive review. Further, you will notice that our Patreon platform has been updated. We are now offering access to the interdimensional radio station episodes for just $2 per month. Subscribing is just one small way you can help this podcast grow and continue to do what we do. Lastly, we have music in this episode from a band called The Beasts of the Intergalactic Rainforest… Fitting for us I know. If you enjoy the music heard today you can find them on Spotify and all major social media outlets. Now, on to this week's research file.

Humans stare at the stars and wonder what could reside beyond our tiny floating rock. Some find solace that the light we see could harbor other intelligent life while others fear what could be out there. To those who are enlightened we hold the truth that both aspects of fear and wonder balance our understanding. And for us to keep this balance we must explore and find what is hiding within every inch of our universe. But what happens when what we may be searching for finds us first. Do we let our curiosity get the better of us or do we cower in the darkness. The answer to this is that no one really knows what they will do when faced with beings outside of our natural understanding. So, this week we will explore a file I found of a youth and his encounter with something out of his world. Let's listen in as we discuss… I Come in Peace.

Further, something is mentioned in this file that keeps nagging at me. It appears the Oteev are searching for something but, what it may be is beyond me. I hope to find out more in the coming months.

S1E34: Asylum

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 13:00:57 GMT

Hello listeners,

I want to start out this weeks episode as a reminder that we are offering a free 1 week trial of our Patreon site. You will unlock the interdimensional radio station and bonus episodes. And if you like what you hear there, you can continue on with your subscription for only $5 per month. On average, that only costs you 17 cents per day and with your support we can continue on with our work here. Now on to this week's episode.

We all hold a little crazy within us. Something that will drive us mad and take us from docile creatures of society to raging lunatics hell bent on destroying whatever is in front of us. Some of you may say this isn't you but, I want you to really think about that. Think about your animalistic needs…. You felt it didn't you. That little tinge above your diaphragm. That jolt of electrical synapses that bled into your frontal cortex. And the vision of that one thing that can drive you crazy. The good news is most of us are civilized enough to not give into that feeling. We suppress it knowing that it goes against societal norms. It is what defines us as human and begins to eradicate any trace factors that lead back to our primitive beginnings. But, what happens when that need can no longer be held? What if something causes that feeling to break free? Well, let's find out in this weeks case file… Asylum.

And a special hello to all of our listeners across the world. Our fan base is growing at an alarming rate and we are happy to see it. Most of our international listeners are coming from Europe with a consolidation within one specific area. We see you Belgium, and we hope you are continuing to like our content. And if you need more content, you can find us on Patreon for ad free listening, bonus episodes, and the interdimensional radio station. It only costs $5 per month to support this podcast. We hope to see some new names within our Patreon community and we hope to hear from you all within our Patreon chat.

Now, on to this week's episode. Some of us work so hard to do what's right. This could mean giving up your seat to an elderly person on the subway, standing up for a person who may be in a bad situation, or even just ensuring that you study hard in school to make something of yourself. But doing what is right can be hard for some, There will be times when the wall of moral protection falls and is replaced with the animalistic need to cut loose. And that is fine, insofar as you are not harming others. In this week's research file we will be looking into what happens when the walls of responsibility drops and is replaced with that primal drive to be free. So listen in as we discuss… Squeal.

S1E32: The Story Of Aubrey Rose

Tue, 16 Jul 2024 13:00:11 GMT

Hello Listeners,

We had a switch up this week with out podcasting host system. Due to this, you may notice that the bonus episodes on Spotify are no longer there. So, if you are interested in becoming a lab rat and having access to the interdimensional radio station, along with access to bonus and extended content, you will need to find us on Patreon and subscribe from there. Right now we are offering 1 week free. So go consume the bonus material and be sure to say hi within our Patreon chat. We would love to hear from you all. Now, on to this week's episode.

The whole idea of religion seems outdated for me. In a world of billions of people your religious ideological stances reside within what part of the world you are born. And nearly every religion damns those who do not believe to a place of condemnation and eternal suffering. It seems a bit backwards if you ask me. Every day we see those of faith doing heinous acts on every day people. Yet, some would believe that no matter what happens in your life, as long as you follow their deity you will be fine. Now do not get me wrong, I do believe there are things within our existence that are god like. It seems to be the evolutionary cycle of the universe. Given enough time and enough focus, a species can thrive in any condition and essentially live forever. And that is what this next research file digs into a bit. Religion, eternal life, and beings that appear to us fragile humans as godlike. So listen in as we hear about… the Story of Aubrey Rose.

S1E31: Dreams

Hello listeners,

This past week I celebrated another year of life on this planet. Time flies when you are having fun. If you would like to help me with celebrating another orbit around our star, nothing would mean more to me than having you rate and share this podcast. It helps more than you will ever know. Feel free to drop on by our accounts on facebook, instagram, or tiktok to give your well wishes too. Now, on to this week's research file.

When we close our eyes and slip away into a dream, where do we go? Some believe that the dreams we have are only manifestations of the subconscious trying to tell us something. Others believe that dreams are nothing more than the consequence of our sleep cycle. Regardless of your beliefs, I think those who do dream can attest that some feel all to real. You wake with start, or a feeling of dread, betrayal, or joy only to find that what you thought happened was only in your mind. But what happens when the dream world begins to blur with your reality? And what if there was something more to your subconscious mind than you can even begin to understand. Let's find out in this week's episode…. Dreams

Hello listeners, 

Once again we appreciate your stopping in to listen to our research files. If you are liking what you hear, please give the podcast a review. We have 400 followers but only10 reviews submitted. Any little bit helps and we are hoping you will take the time to leave a review. We also want to mention that we have our merch storeopen. You can get the classic Nightmare Trials T-shirt or hoodie. We will be adding more items as the months progress so keep an eye and ear out. To find our online store you can go to thenightmaretrials.square.site and place your order today. Any little bit helps. 

Now, on to why you are really here. This week's episode reminds me of a poem I once heard by Robert Frost. It goes something like this, A good neighbor respects another's property. In a sense a good neighbor maintains their property in a way to ensure there are no ill impacts on their surrounding home dwellers. We as humans construct fences, cut the lawn, and keep the area tidy to bolster curb appeal. And because of this we are considered neighborly. To me, it is all a façade… A way to hide what truly happens behind the 4 walls of a domicile. And this episode delves into this notion. What happens when the walls come down and the truth of who we really are is revealed. Let's find out in this week's episode… The Good Neighbors

S1E29 Beta Test: Convergence

Tue, 25 Jun 2024 13:32:56 GMT

Hello Listeners, 

We are going to do something different at the end of this episode as a way to give back to the horror community. We have asked our fans and other horror enthusiasts to send us their projects or items for review. These items can range from artwork that people are selling to long form films and media that people are placing out there. It is a way to help others grow as we grow and to bring more content and flavor to our audience. If any of you have horror themed items or content that you would like to have promoted, email us at adontesfinch@gmail.com and we can get you into the rotation. The wait may be long as we have had an outpouring of submissions already. Oh, and let us be clear as well… We will be honest with our reviews, not scathing but honest. We will do this as a form of constructive criticism. It would be a disservice to us and the submitter if done otherwise. Now, let's get to why you are here today. 

I have seen a lot of talk on social media depicting first person shooter games as a form of government training. Games like Battlefield and Call of Duty have realistic weapons that function in a way similar to the real life counterpart. The whole conspiracy premise is that when we do go to war it will be much easier to train a Call of Duty player on how to fire a weapon than just any random person off the street. They will be familiar with how to load and reload the firearm, how to aim, and most importantly how to kill. While I do think that this notion is nonsense, it does make you wonder. This brings me to this week's episode. The messages we are receiving are all over the place. The Oteev have been making themselves known more and more in our studies and this week two of them seem to be working together… for what end, I do not know. Let's see if you can figure it out in the file named… Beta Test: Convergence.

Be sure to stick around after the show for our first review of the short film: At The End of the Hall by Slithery-Dee Productions. If you would like to view the short film the link is provided below.

Hello Listeners,  

We are working with fellow horror enthusiasts and pod casters to grow our communities more. So, if you have a podcast or even horror themed items you would like to promote email adontesfinch@gmail.com . We want to help others grow any way we possibly can. In a world that can seem like a nightmare, we want to be that little light that can shine. Also, if you haven't already, leave our podcast a positive review. This allows for more horror fans to find us and will provide us with the needed audience base to continue our work here. We appreciate your support so much.

Now for this week's story. Living in this world can seem difficult at times. There is political unrest, infighting within countries, and the ever present fear of human annihilation. So what happens when those factors culminate into the end of the world as we know it? Luckily, we may have a look into this from a recording found from a dimension far from us. And I have to tell you, the reality we are looking into is bleak and lonely. Hopefully, this will not come to pass for our world. But, you never really know. Let's find out more in the week's episode… The Dead and Me.

Please, if you haven't already, give the podcast a positive review, follow us on the social media platform of your choice, and even write to us if you are so inclined. Now on to this week's episode.

I often wonder what life will be like years from now. Will all the world's problems be solved? Will we conquer space travel and begin populating other star systems? Or will the world still continue to cycle into madness where humans war with one another constantly and consistently. Unfortunately, I don’t think I will ever know… at least not in our timeline. But, I have a file here from another dimension that hints of what could come. And I do not believe it is anything our fragile timeline needs.

Wed, 29 May 2024 02:25:38 GMT

Hello Listeners,

I want to start of this week's episode by saying blah, blah, blah sales pitch for Spotify and Patreon subscriptions. Now that that is done. You will be pleased to know that we were able to interpret more of transmission given to us last week. If you do not remember, last week we left you off with part 1 of the Darwin Project. James had just battled his way through dense fog and a mass of zombies. In his quest to stay alive he came upon a house and had a choice to make. Leave the relative safety of the area he was in or, see what was in the house. When his hand was pushed he made an escape to the house itself only to find that he wasn't alone. So, listen in as we conclude Level 1 of The Darwin Project.

A game of life and death. A game of class and socioeconomic roles. A bit Squid/Hunger Games esque but, very interesting indeed. Let's listen in to this week's episode. The Darwin Trials: Level 1 Part 1.

Wed, 08 May 2024 04:09:32 GMT

Hello Listeners,
Why do some fear what others find innocent or fun? What drives us to shy away from enjoyment and entertainment? Maybe it is a something we feel when we see a person hiding behind a mask. Something that says things are not always as they appear. This week our research file brings us to the circus where Shiloh the Magnificent comes to play.

Wed, 01 May 2024 20:26:23 GMT

Hello listeners,

A child's mind can take them to places of wonder. It can create an entire scene while only utilizing the barest of objects as props. So what happens when a child's minddelves into the unnatural and horrific. What nightmares can come from this and what actions will that child make? This week we received a transmission of a pair of twins who are polar opposites. And within this file we will see how one feeds off the other. So listen in as we discuss Twins.

Hello Listeners,
We have intercepted another transmission from an alternative version of our own planet. Or maybe the transmission was from our own planet but, from a different time. Could this be a warning of things to come? Or, is this a reality that we have missed? Regardless, we seem to find out what happens when a planet fights back. Please join us as we listen to Earth Day.

Tue, 16 Apr 2024 13:00:00 GMT

Hello Listeners,
Respect is something that is not easily given but, it is easily lost. Understanding is something that takes times to obtain but, it can be fleeting as times change.

So, listen in this week as we explore, The Spider's Curse.

S1E18: The Nightmare Trials - The Eclipse

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 02:57:16 GMT

Hello Listeners.

I hope you all enjoyed the eclipse and I hope everyone made it home safely. That many people converging into an area gives me… anxiety. While I was not able to see full totality, I was able to see 90% of our star covered by the moon. It was astounding. What is curious though, is while I was enjoying the eclipse, we received a transmission from another dimension. Let's just say the story recounted to us was nothing like what we experienced. So, listen in as we discuss this week's episode… Eclipse.

S1E17: The Nightmare Trials - Unprecedented Times

Tue, 02 Apr 2024 20:42:49 GMT

I wanted to give you all a shout out. We have surpassed 100 followers total between the streaming platforms and we are eternally grateful for every single one of you. Make sure you keep an eye out on Facebook, Instagram, and Titok for a Nightmare Trials Shirt giveaway.

Now for this week's story. It is strange how events in life can leave a lasting impression on you. And historic events of tragedy tend to stick and hit harder into our psyche than what we sometimes realize. Things like COVID, 9-11, The OKC bombing, etc. We live through these times and eventually carry on. Actions and events are forgotten. The pain and rhetoric dulls. Then we seam to fall right back in to our cycle of events. So, what happens when we push too far or give in just a little too  much? Does it spell out the end of life as we know it? Let's find out as we listen in to Unprecedented Times.

S1E15 - Hoarder House

Thu, 21 Mar 2024 14:14:40 GMT

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, this episode is coming out late. Family illness and a tumble down the stairs have put us a little... behind. Nothing a good Baka Cola or some Alpha Matrix-B cannot fix. Regardless, here we are my lab rats.
This week's episode discusses the case of a house. Small, quaint, unassuming. These are words that come to mind when I think of this case. From the outside there isn't anything special about seeing an ordinary house. It is only when you get inside that you begin to realize that things are not always as they appear. Much like humans, appearances are for nothing when there is a monster dwelling inside.

Hello Listeners. What is love… No we are not talking about the song that is now running through your head. What we are asking is what actually is love?
