This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! In the 1800s, The Park Hotel in Yorkshire stood as a symbol of elegance — a seaside retreat for mill workers seeking rest and entertainment, and a favored stop for performers traveling through the region. But behind its charm and glamour, a darker story was quietly unfolding. According to investigator Andy Moore, The Park Hotel held secrets far removed from its public image. Whispered rumors suggest that hidden beneath the polished façade were rituals, symbols, and practices that had nothing to do with hospitality — and everything to do with invoking darker forces. From tales of satanic ceremonies to suggestions of sacrificial acts, the stories surrounding the hotel reach far beyond simple ghost sightings. In this episode of The Grave Talks, we peel back the hotel's historical layers and explore the unsettling claims tied to its past. What energies were awakened within those walls? Who — or what — still lingers in the shadows? And how did a seaside escape become associated with one of Yorkshire's most disturbing paranormal legends? This is Part Two of our conversation. #theparkhotel #yorkshirehauntings #thegravetalks #paranormalhistory #haunteduk #ghoststories #satanicrituals #darkhistory #andyMoore #ukparanormal #supernaturalstories #historicmystery Love real ghost stories?

Hi, friends! Happy Wednesday! Welcome to the fourth... and maybe final... Joanie Awards. Tear. But don't be sad that it might be over... be happy because it all happened. After a season jam packed with horny nuns, rogue presidents, cursed statues, disastrous love lives (ancient AND modern), Britney impressions and some evil, shedding mittens… we're closing things out with a bang. In this special Dark History finale... me, Joan, and Paul roll out the red carpet to honor the best, the messiest, and the most unhinged moments of Season Four. I'm talking iconic costumes, surprise musical numbers, historic divas, cursed inventions, Vegas chaos, medical nightmares, and impressions that are so bad... they're good.  Plus, I pull back the curtain with some never-before-seen clips, behind-the-scenes moments, and fan comments that sent me into full spirals. It's chaotic, it's heartfelt, it's ridiculous… it's The Joanies, babe. Will this be the last one ever? I honestly don't know. But if it is... we're going out in true Dark History fashion: curious, laughing, learning, oversharing, and maybe questioning our life choices just a little bit. Seriously, thank you so much for tuning in all season. Without you, I would not be here. xo Bailey ________ FOLLOW ME AROUND Tik Tok: https://bit.ly/3e3jL9v Instagram: http://bit.ly/2nbO4PR Facebook: http://bit.ly/2mdZtK6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/2yT4BLV Pinterest: http://bit.ly/2mVpXnY Youtube: http://bit.ly/1HGw3Og Goodreads: http://bit.ly/3IVnO7N Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3cC0V9d Discord: https://discord.gg/BaileySarian RECOMMEND A STORY HERE: cases4bailey@gmail.com Business Related Emails: bailey@underscoretalent.com Business Related Mail: Bailey Sarian 4400 W.

Hi friends! Happy Tuesday!! On the outskirts of Vancouver, hidden behind barns, pig pens, and the chaos of a wild biker gang, Robert Pickton built a kingdom of horror. Known as the Pig Farmer Killer, Pickton lured vulnerable women to his farm—where they vanished forever. But was he really acting alone? Or was there a darker network protecting him all along? In this episode, I dive deep into one of Canada's most disturbing cases. From the infamous Piggy Palace parties (where even off-duty cops and Hells Angels showed up) to the shocking police failures that let a predator keep hunting for years, this story is packed with corruption, cover-ups, and unanswered questions. With DNA evidence, survivor testimony, and chilling confessions, the truth about what happened on the Pickton farm is more twisted than you can imagine. And maybe... Robert Pickton was just the face of something much bigger. Let's get into the Dark History of the Pig Farmer Killer. Also, let me know who you want me to talk about next time. Hope you have a great rest of your week, make good choices and I'll be seeing you very soon. xo Bailey Sarian ________ FOLLOW ME AROUND Tik Tok: https://bit.ly/3e3jL9v Instagram: http://bit.ly/2nbO4PR Goodreads: https://bit.ly/44P51lp Facebook: http://bit.ly/2mdZtK6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/2yT4BLV Pinterest: http://bit.ly/2mVpXnY Youtube: http://bit.ly/1HGw3Og Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3cC0V9d Discord: https://discord.gg/BaileySarian RECOMMEND A STORY HERE: cases4bailey@gmail.com Business Related Emails: bailey@underscoretalent.com Business Related Mail: Bailey Sarian 4400 W.

Send us a textShe wasn't a monster in the shadows — she was a nurse at your bedside.In this chilling episode, we uncover the twisted life of Jane Toppan, the 19th-century caregiver who confessed to murdering at least 31 people — not out of hatred, but for pleasure. A seemingly cheerful and devoted nurse, “Jolly Jane” used her position to experiment with fatal doses of morphine and atropine, holding patients as they died… and enjoying every second.Before Charles Cullen or Beverley Allitt, there was Toppan — America's first documented female serial killer of the medical kind.We dive deep into:Her traumatic childhood and fractured identityThe experimental murders that began under hospital supervisionThe intimate betrayals of her victims, including her own foster sisterHer psychological profile — and why she was declared insane but brilliantThe legacy she left behind in criminal profiling and forensic psychiatryTrust us: this story isn't just about a killer nurse — it's about how easily trust can become a weapon.Support the show

Forget the Hallmark version — the first Thanksgiving wasn't cute, cozy, or even particularly grateful.In this episode, we break down the real story behind the 1621 feast: the Pilgrims who knew nothing and learned even less, the Jamestown colonists who literally ate each other, and the kidnapped survivor — Squanto, who held an entire colony together. Enjoy this tale of useless assholes, entitlement and why empathy can be a deadly mistake. Pull up a chair — it's about to get historically unhinged.Need support during the holiday chaos?

Hi, friends! Happy Wednesday! What if I told you that one of the most influential... and mysterious cult leaders in American history is someone most people have never heard of? And that Jim Jones himself, yes Jonestown Jim Jones, got many of his ideas from same guy? Today, we're diving into the wild and complicated story of Father Divine—the charismatic leader behind the Peace Mission Movement, a man who inspired millions, shaped pieces of the civil rights era, built entire communities from the ground up… and also demanded unwavering loyalty that crossed more than a few lines. This isn't your typical cult story. It's part spiritual revolution, part empire-building, part “wait, WHAT?!” And somehow still a chapter of American history no one talks about. And we should because it brings up an interesting question... Where's the line between a movement that helps people… and one that controls them? And at what point does something become a cult? Let's get into the Dark History of Father Divine.

In this chapter, we trace the story of the so called 'Frozen Hill People' from 19th century Vermont newspaper accounts and family scrapbooks to modern retellings in magazines, folklore collections, and online media, asking where it sits between rural desperation, hoax, and horror. We separate what can be verified from what was likely invented, and explore why the idea of humans placed into a kind of living hibernation still fascinates us in an age of cryonics and medical hypothermia. To many, the Frozen Hill People are another Urban Legend, but for those who return to the story each winter, they are a reminder of how far people imagine they might go when the cold closes in.Text Me (this is 3rd party & I cannot respond, but I see all messages)Support the showIf you have more information or a correction on something mentioned in this chapter, email us at luke@lukemordue.com For more information on the show, to find all our social accounts and to ensure you are up to date on all we do, visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lukemordue.com/podcast

When Sydney Sweeney said "Jeans are not Controversial" Mrs. P had to investigate and what she found was astounding. From Sydney Sweeneys stalling career, to her plans with Geoff Bezos,  to the origins of Jeans in India, Britain, America. And how they were touched by the republic of Genoa, the British Ra, East India Trading Company, Mahatma Gandhi, and the prison industrial complex. And then of course back to Sydney Sweeneys GQ interview. GET THE MISCELLANEOUS IMMORALITY SHIRT HERE:

Hi, friends! Happy Wednesday! You've seen The Wizard of Oz... the ruby slippers, the Yellow Brick Road, the flying monkeys… But you've also heard rumblings of some dark rumors, haven't you? Well, behind all that glitter and Technicolor magic was a nightmare of toxic makeup, real fires, starvation diets, terror in Munchkinland and a studio system that nearly killed a teenage Judy Garland. In today's episode of Dark History, let's follow the (bloodsoaked?) yellow brick road backstage to uncover the shocking truth behind one of Hollywood's most iconic movies. From the Tin Man's near-death experience to the Witch catching fire on set (literally), to asbestos snow and all sorts of horrible abuse — this is the wicked story of The Wizard of Oz that MGM never wanted you to hear. ________ FOLLOW ME AROUND Tik Tok: https://bit.ly/3e3jL9v Instagram: http://bit.ly/2nbO4PR Facebook: http://bit.ly/2mdZtK6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/2yT4BLV Pinterest: http://bit.ly/2mVpXnY Youtube: http://bit.ly/1HGw3Og Goodreads: http://bit.ly/3IVnO7N Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3cC0V9d Discord: https://discord.gg/BaileySarian RECOMMEND A STORY HERE: cases4bailey@gmail.com Business Related Emails: bailey@underscoretalent.com Business Related Mail: Bailey Sarian 4400 W.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Once the height of elegance and power, Buffalo's Statler City Hotel was built to host the living—but it seems the dead refused to check out. Grand ballrooms now sit in silence. Chandeliers sway in still air. Security guards report footsteps echoing down empty hallways, voices drifting through rooms that haven't seen guests in decades. Some claim to see figures dressed in 1920s finery, appearing just long enough to vanish again. In this chilling episode of The Grave Talks, we step inside one of the most haunted landmarks in New York to explore the thin veil between history and the supernatural. Guest Conor Hawkins takes us beyond the locked doors, revealing untold stories of the Statler's past—its triumphs, its tragedies, and the mysterious energy that refuses to fade. Why do certain places hold on to their guests long after death? What makes the Statler's walls hum with life when no one is there? History never truly leaves. And inside the Statler City Hotel… neither do they. #HauntedHotel #StatlerCity #TrueGhostStory #HauntedBuffalo #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #RealHaunting #HauntedPlaces #TheGraveTalks #CreepyEncounters  Love real ghost stories?

Riding on the coat tails of last week's jewel heist episode, I'm back this week with the intriguing history of the Hope Diamond.  The story of the Hope Diamond is convoluted. It changed hands many times, stolen on several occasions and was gradually cut down from 112 carats to just 45 and a half today. Known for its rich blue color and red phosphorescence, the Hope Diamond is extremely rare and highly coveted. But, a big part of the reason the Hope Diamond is so well known is not because it's pretty and sparkly. It's because it has a rather dark past. In fact, when you follow the story of the Hope Diamond back through its many owners, you may begin to notice a trail of destruction and tragedy left in its wake. For many, the tragic demise of many of the diamond's former owners is even proof of a curse. This infamy is a big part of what makes the Hope Diamond the most famous diamond in the world with an estimated value of between 200 and 350 million dollars. But, is any of it true? Or is it all a publicity stunt? Let's fix that. Support the show! Join the Patreon (patreon.com/historyfixpodcast)Buy some merchBuy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaineSources: So Supernatural "The Curse of the Hope Diamond"Wikipedia "Hope Diamond"Wikipedia "Pierre C.

Hi friends. Happy Wednesday. More importantly...

Each Halloween, stories circulate of decorations that look disturbingly real, until someone realises theres a very good reason for that.The 'Halloween Hanging' story is often dismissed as an Urban Legend as scattered reports over the years have blurred fiction and fact, leaving many to wonder how much truth hides behind the tale.

For centuries, nursery rhymes have been passed down as harmless children's songs, but their true origins are anything but sweet. It seems as though the innocent words we all remember may have been hiding nightmares all along. In this episode we're peeling back the cute surface and digging into the dark history that's been whispered through generations. Trust us when we say, you'll never hear your childhood favourites the same way again.

Carved into the granite heart of the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore is one of America's most recognizable, and most controversial, monuments. Beneath the towering faces of four presidents lies a dark and often untold history of stolen land, massacres, and the erasure of Indigenous people who have called this place sacred for generations. From sculptor Gutzon Borglum's troubling past to the Lakota's ongoing fight for recognition through the nearby Crazy Horse Memorial, this episode explores how a monument meant to celebrate a nation has become a lasting reminder of the violence and displacement that built it.

Ilse Koch ruled the Nazi concentration camp with sadistic pleasure, infamous for her brutality and twisted obsessions. This is the story of one of history's most monstrous women, whose legacy is a chilling reminder of the depths of human depravity.

In his debut book, author Todd Brown weaves a dark tale in the Southern Gothic “When Shadows Burn.” Here's a look at the story: In the heart of Raven's Cross, Virginia, the decaying Scott house looms. Its broken-window eyes watch a town desperate to forget. When Roxy, a teenage girl, vanishes into a sweltering night, long-buried fears erupt, and suspicion turns savage. The townspeople turn on the newcomers, blaming them for what they refuse to face in themselves. As polite smiles crack and old grudges resurface, Raven's Cross's genteel mask begins to slip, revealing the rot beneath.  Timothy Michaels came to town chasing a story. A true crime podcaster investigating the haunted legacy of the Scott house, he never expected to be pulled into something so immediate—and so dangerous. Alongside unexpected allies, Tim begins to unearth a legacy of complicity and cruelty—one the town would kill to keep buried. Because, in Raven's Cross, the shadows don't just linger. They burn. Todd's book brings with it authentic queer representation and he talks about what this means to him, as well as how he goes about doing it. We look into the writing process, a sequel in the works, and the story behind the cover and title. Todd talks with us about the story's origin and the worldbuilding he did to craft the Scott house and town of Raven's Cross. He talks about the house's history and how the town itself has changed as a result. We're introduced to Timothy Michaels and his choice to learn the history of the Scott house, as well his own past in Raven's Cross. This interview includes an excerpt from the audiobook, coming out later this year and voiced by award-winning VA Emily Woo Zeller.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! So listen. I learned about a place in Alaska where more than 20,000 people have vanished — planes, hikers, politicians — and almost none have ever been found. And I had to do an episode on it.  It's called the Alaska Triangle and it's a remote stretch of wilderness bigger than California and notorious for swallowing people, aircraft, and evidence whole. No wreckage. No signals. Just… POOF... gone. Today, we uncover the chilling stories behind those icey disappearances — from a massive military plane that vanished mid-flight, to a congressman investigating JFK's assassination who mysteriously disappeared and may have been silenced.  But... here's the thing... the deeper you go, the stranger it gets. Search crews swear they hear voices in the darkness, rumors swirl about an underground pyramid and apparently there's a government site there that some claim can control the weather. Is this just a deadly stretch of wilderness? A Cold War cover-up? Or is something far stranger hiding in plain sight? Forget the Bermuda Triangle. Because the Dark History of the Alaska Triangle is going to mess with your head. ________ FOLLOW ME AROUND Tik Tok: https://bit.ly/3e3jL9v Instagram: http://bit.ly/2nbO4PR Facebook: http://bit.ly/2mdZtK6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/2yT4BLV Pinterest: http://bit.ly/2mVpXnY Youtube: http://bit.ly/1HGw3Og Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3cC0V9d Discord: https://discord.gg/BaileySarian RECOMMEND A STORY HERE: cases4bailey@gmail.com Business Related Emails: bailey@underscoretalent.com Business Related Mail: Bailey Sarian 4400 W.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! So the other day, I was googling jelly beans. Don't ask why, I was in a mood. But I ended up falling down a rabbit hole, and suddenly… I was reading about Ronald Reagan.  Apparently, Reagan was *obsessed* with jelly beans. I guess he started eating them as a way to quit smoking. He swapped cigarettes for jelly beans. Inspired.  But once he was hooked, he never looked back. There were jelly beans on Air Force One. Jelly beans in the Oval Office. Jelly beans sent to space with astronauts, I am not joking.  At this point I stumbled onto a quote about his wife, Nancy Reagan, and let me just say...America may have called her the First Lady, but Hollywood had a slightly different title for her. If you know, you know. So today, I've got quite a story for you. Blow jobs, secret weapon deals, astrology, and a very intense power couple.  This man ignored a literal pandemic, while letting his wife schedule national security briefings based on his horoscope. So join me for the Dark History of Ronald Reagan. Let's get into it. I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!  The other day I was craving a big fat bowl of Honey Smacks cereal with whole milk. When I was a kid, that was luxury to me. But I hadn't had them in forever so I didn't even know if they were still around.  You know me - I googled “HONEY SMACKS… DISCONTINUED??” Good news, they're around. Bad news… I found out about Kellogg's, the company that makes them, has been in some hot water lately.  We all know inflation sucks and it's affecting *everything*, especially food prices. Tons of families across America are struggling to put food on the table.  So the media asked a Kelloggs CEO for his reaction on that. And his response? He essentially said, [SARCASTIC] “MAYBE THEY SHOULD EAT CEREAL FOR DINNER.”  Awkward. But this did get me thinking - why *do* we eat cereal for breakfast? Well I looked into it, and I stumbled into the world of John Harvey Kellogg, the man behind Kelloggs. And my mind was blown.  Because behind that sweet little box of Honey Smacks is a freaky origin story. We're talkin' culty health retreats, yogurt enemas, and a crusade against masturbation.  So buckle up if you dare, for the Dark History of …Kelloggs.  I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show.

At 9:04 a.m., Halifax was torn apart in an instant. One moment it was a thriving wartime city, the next, it was fire, thunder, and ruin. A fireball as hot as the surface of the sun ignited the harbour. Shockwaves ripped through homes and streets. A wall of water followed, drowning what the flames had spared. In this second part of our two-part series, we return to the stories of Francis Mackey, Vincent Coleman, and Kaye Chapman as we explore the devastation that unfolded in the hours and days after the blast. Entire neighbourhoods vanished. Families were torn apart. The city would never be the same. The scars of the Halifax Explosion were not only etched into people, buildings, and the landscape. Something less tangible was also left behind. For over a century, ghost stories have circulated through the city, many tied directly to that morning. At St. Paul's, a shattered window still carries the outline of a figure who looked toward the harbour at the fatal moment. At the Five Fishermen Restaurant, once a morgue overwhelmed with the dead, staff still hear voices and see a bearded man vanish into thin air. These hauntings are part of Halifax's inheritance. The spirits of December 6, 1917 linger, a spectral imprint of a tragedy that reshaped the city forever. Step into the ruins, hear stories of survival, and of those that still linger.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! Listen… I know it's not *officially* Fall yet, okay? But we all know Fall means Halloween, and Halloween is my favorite holiday. So I wanted to get started celebrating a little early this year.  I did a soft launch on my decorations. Put out a few pumpkins and spider webs. The crows in my backyard approved. And I decided this weekend, I was going to see a scary movie. I found out the last Conjuring movie was coming out and I was so excited.  This one is all about Ed and Lorraine Warren, the demonologists behind all the other Conjuring movies. And even though there have been *so* many Conjuring movies, I realized that I never looked into Ed and Lorraine Warren myself.  And listen… I'm left with nothing but questions. Were they legit? What made them so famous? And what was the reason they left the spotlight? Was it really because of one terrifying case, or, was the reason much darker?

In the late hours of the night, a bus winds its way through the quiet streets of Beijing - a vehicle that has given rise to one of China's most haunting modern legends. Known as the tale of the 'Midnight Bus', it tells of unsuspecting passengers, strange late-night boardings, and a ride that takes a turn into the supernatural.In this chapter, we unravel the origins of the tale, the cultural fears it reflects, and why the 'Midnight Bus' continues to haunt the urban imagination today.Text Me (this is 3rd party & I cannot respond, but I see all messages)Support the showIf you have more information or a correction on something mentioned in this chapter, email us at luke@lukemordue.com.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! I always wanted to date Robbie Sinclair from Dinosaurs. Anyone else? [CRICKETS] So whenever I drive by a Sinclair gas station, you know, the one with the dinosaur logo? I always think of him. His spiky hair. That letterman jacket.  I don't care that he was a foam puppet. I was eight and I knew what I wanted. And what I wanted… was Robbie.  I was so distracted by my thoughts of Robbie that I never realized Sinclair Oil had a dark secret. And the whole time it was hiding in plain sight.  Back in the 1920s, oil was the new gold. Because out of nowhere, all of a sudden, everything was running on it. Literally. Cars and airplanes were taking over. And if World War 1 taught us anything, it was that we needed an emergency stash of oil for the military… Just in case.  It was like a gold rush… but with oil. And when there's money on the table, somebody's gonna get greedy. This is how a *huge*  government scandal happened. I'm talking corruption, shady deals, and millions of dollars stuffed into a black briefcase.  Today we're diving into one of the dirtiest scandals in U.S. history. Before Watergate, before Enron, before Bill Clinton and Monica, there was… Teapot Dome. And yes, it involves a teapot. Kind of. Welcome to the Dark History of Teapot Dome.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! I don't know if this is happening to any of you out there, but suddenly, everyone I know is having a baby. Which means I'm looking at one baby registry after another. Honestly I don't mind, I love buying baby stuff. It's so little and cute.  But lately, I've noticed that the stuff people have on their registry is *next level.* Now, everyone gets wipe warmers… so the wipes that touch the baby's butt aren't cold.  There's toy subscriptions for infants, so your baby's mental development stays on track. They even make these mini dishwashers just for baby bottles. What else will they think of?? The baby industry is worth over *$358 billion dollars.* I me an, things have come LONG way. But it was always like this, it used to be *way* simpler. But does that mean it was better?  Turns out, there is a shocking history behind baby products I had never heard about. Many products that were marketed to parents to *help* their babies actually ended up seriously hurting or even killing them.  And with new baby products popping up every day, I'm wondering… are we doomed to repeat the past?  I can *not* wait to hear your thoughts on this one - whether you're a parent or not. Welcome to the Dark History of Toxic Baby Products!  I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!  One of my friends is having a baby, so we've been talking about baby stuff a lot. And of course… my stupid phone is listening. So now my TikTok feed is filled with all these freaking baby videos.  Usually I just scroll past it, but the other day… one of them caught my eye. It was a viral video all about how this girl got pregnant because she took Mucinex. You know, the medicine for chest congestion? I know… so random. I thought this was a fake video but as I did more research, turns out *thousands* of people have tried this, and tons of them swear by it. But here's the thing: this is nothing new. Since the dawn of time, humans have been trying desperately to multiply. People have been drinking strange potions, and performing controversial rituals, and even worshipping a metal penis for *centuries*. When it comes to making babies, people will try anything. So today, we're diving into the weird, wild, and sometimes terrifying Dark history of fertility.  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! The other day I woke up starving — like, hangry. So I wandered into the kitchen and stood there, just… staring. Eggs? Too much work. Pancakes? Ehhh Toast? Meh. I mean why is choosing breakfast this complicated? It's supposed to be “the most important meal of the day,” right? At least that's what we've all been told. But who decided that? Who made the rules on what we should eat first thing in the morning? So I started digging — and what I found is, breakfast has never been just about food. It's been a battlefield. A PR stunt. A marketing goldmine. And sometimes… even a political weapon. From early doctors who thought bland breakfasts could stop “sinful urges”… to the government pushing a food pyramid on America… to movements that fought for kids to actually have access to breakfast …it's messy. Like spilled coffee on your white shirt messy.  So let's dive into it. Today we are talking about the Dark History of Breakfast.  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! You know, lately I've noticed something strange. It feels like every celebrity these days is... jacked. Like, not just in “good shape.” I'm talking veins popping out of places I didn't even know veins existed. I mean, back in the day, you had, what? 2 or 3 action stars. But now? Even the comedians are huge. Like, why is Jim from the Office looking like he's training for the Olympics?? All this got me thinking… When did we get so obsessed with muscles? Because I don't remember Leonardo DiCaprio or Harrison Ford being jacked. They were just normal dudes. Where did it start? And is it even healthy to be so muscular? Today, we're taking a little trip back in time to talk about the sweaty, sexy, and strange and Dark History of… bodybuilding.

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!  So you guys know I love dictators. And you ended up *LOVING* the Caesar episode… So it made me wonder what other, *older* dictators were out there who I assumed were boring but actually had these scandalous lives.  And that's when I found out about a certain emperor we're gonna talk about today. Not only did he mass murder an entire group of people, but he *personally* killed just about everyone who got close to him.  And you might think okay, typical bloodthirsty tyrant. Been there, done that. But … no. No one has ever matched this guy's freak.  Some of the dictators we've talked about are actually failed artists. And then they take revenge on the world by taking it over.  But this guy… it's almost like he didn't care about being in power at all. All he wanted to do was sing. And dance. And have insane orgies with eunuchs. But instead… he was forced by his mother to rule Rome.  Today I am coming to you with the insane TRUE story of one of the world's first tyrants. This is the Dark History of NERO.  I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show.
