Black Tarry Stuff Covers Town in The Gasp Menagerie

default-featured-image

Something sticky this way comes in Harrison Township, Michigan. Brought to us via the Daily Mirror and local channel WXYZ, the report states that a black, tarry substance fell across the town in February.

Photos and video show splattered black gunk on cars and pavement.  It appears to have fallen straight down from a height, as it doesn’t show on the sides of anything, only skyward-facing surfaces.

No explanation has currently been discovered.  Local officials claim it isn’t flammable, didn’t come from birds, and a local air base swears it didn’t come from their aircraft.

There have been no reports of repeated appearances of the sticky stuff, which I’m sure pleases the owners of the properties covered in the goo.

Black Tar In Michigan

Historically, odd substances falling from the sky have been almost commonplace.  Odd “rains” were the subject of many reports by researcher Charles Fort, and reports as varied as cottony fibers to black soot landing on the US have come out within the last year.

What is this icky gunk falling on Michigan?

Have a weird story? Potential evidence of the supernatural, or at least something hard to explain? Spot any creepy critters out there roaming the wilds? LET ME KNOW! I’d love to talk about it and possibly write it up right here in the Gasp Menagerie. You’ll get appropriate credit, of course, and everyone else will get fresh creepy (as opposed to fresh Creepy, which, trust me… nobody wants that) to enjoy. As always, I can be found at mrdark@dreadcentral.com. Now get out there, find some weird, and let’s get this party started.

Ep. 347 Smile 2: “The Tale of Schmorgashbords, Part 1”
Ket tells Kim about the highly requested and truly terrifying Smile 2. This left Ketryn truly shooketh and gave The Substance a run for its money in grotesque-ness. It was simply a smorgasbord of gore and the first time in podcast history that Ket is the one who can’t quite say a word. Stay tuned for part 2 to find out what type of pants Kim needs for this one.Writer/Dir.

Episode 268: Mind Body Spirit Filmmkers Alex Henes and Matt Merenda and The Brave Little Toaster (1987)
This week we're joined by Alex Henes and Matt Merenda, the filmmakers behind the yoga-horror found footage film Mind Body Spirit, which is available on demand and streaming on Shudder and AMC+. We chat about Sarah J. Bartholomew's fantastic performance, the script and more before diving into their childhoods and their very different reactions to horror as a kid. Then we chat about The Brave Little Toaster and how it destroyed all four of our childhoods. Anthropomorphic appliances, self-cannibalism, religion...this movie has it all and we laugh our way through describing just how messed up it actually is.
