Show sample for 10/18/24: THE CHILDREN’S HOUR W/ STEVE STOCKTON

The idea of childhood horrors is also the basis of adult fears. People have aversions to things like dolls and clowns, and it is peculiar how these things trigger memories of imaginary friends. The concept of our children being influenced by a malevolent force is all too real now that younger people are more in tune with ghosts in their machines as they find themselves glued to their phones and laptops. A parent’s greatest fear is losing a child to the darkness as the demons watch and wait for the moment a child loses its ability to connect. So, it turns to an imaginary friend that is neither a friend nor imaginary. These “familiars” reveal themselves during times of great duress while blurring the lines between adulthood and the children’s hour. Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time) Clyde Lewis talks with folklore storyteller and author, Steve Stockton about THE CHILDREN’S HOUR.
