Weird Darkness: Stories of the Paranormal, Supernatural, Legends, Lore, Mysterious, Macabre, Unsolved

THE TRUE CRIME CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: Dorothy Kilgallen, a renowned journalist and TV personality, was known for her fearless investigative work, especially her pursuit of the truth surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Despite being a celebrated figure on the show "What's My Line?" and a successful columnist, Kilgallen's life took a mysterious turn when she died in 1965 from an alleged overdose. Many believe her death was not accidental. Author Mark Shaw, among others, suspects foul play, claiming Kilgallen was silenced because of the sensitive information she uncovered about Kennedy’s assassination and her intentions to expose it. Shaw’s investigation reveals new details, including questionable autopsy results, Kilgallen’s ties to key figures, and cryptic writings from a supposed confidant. Was Kilgallen's death a tragic accident, or was she the journalist who knew too much? The mystery continues to unravel as more secrets come to light.
