Podcasts about dark history

In the late nineteenth century the United States pushed west and its expansion unleashed devastating violence against Native Americans. Forced from their lands and herded onto reservations Native communities faced a relentless campaign of dispossession and massacre. Thousands of miles away in Ireland deep poverty drove many to enlist in the US Army and they became participants in these same frontier wars. This contradiction is stark. People who had been pushed from their own homes by hardship helped push Native Americans from theirs and in some cases took part in atrocities.In this episode Damian Shiels joins me to talk about his remarkable new project mapping US military pensions claimed in Ireland between 1845 and 1905. These files are a window into working class Irish life and also reveal how closely Irish history is tied to some of the darkest chapters of American expansion. Our conversation focuses on the Indian Wars and the uncomfortable questions they raise. It is a complex story that challenges assumptions and connects global history to local Irish streets and villages in surprising ways.Check out the map https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/4e3d403b289342ad92a9259de2597c24Support the show https://patreon.com/irishpodcastSound by Kate Dunlea Hosted on Acast.

“Grief happens because you don't stop loving the person who died. The person doesn't exist in your reality anymore. The everyday is not colored and shaped by this other human being, but you don't stop loving the person. So grief is a particular kind of unrequited love.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOIn 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?#theparkhotel #yorkshirehauntings #thegravetalks #paranormalhistory #haunteduk #ghoststories #satanicrituals #darkhistory #andyMoore #ukparanormal #supernaturalstories #historicmysteryLove real ghost stories?

1937 - Mexico, Missouri On the eve of Thanksgiving in 1937, 46-year-old Margaret Mortimer, who went by Peggy, was just steps from her front door when she was attacked and killed by an unknown assailant. Investigators found few clues and no obvious suspects, despite a city-wide manhunt. And as early leads faded, local police turned to Ira Cooper, the St. Louis Police Department's first Black lieutenant, hoping his sterling reputation could bring answers to a case already slipping away. The murder shocked the industrial town of Mexico, Missouri. Peggy was well known and widely liked, with no clear enemies. But on that cold November night, someone was waiting—and the question remains: who?

Valentine's Day is marketed as a celebration of love—but its origins tell a very different story. In this episode of History Made Simple, host Diamond K breaks down the real history behind February 14th, tracing its roots from violent Roman fertility rituals to religious martyrdom and, eventually, modern-day commercialization. You'll learn how governments once controlled relationships, how the Church reshaped pagan traditions, and how capitalism turned love into one of the most profitable emotions in the world. This isn't trivia. This is context.

This episode of The Mohua Show is a powerful and deeply reflective conversation about queerness, colonial memory, and the politics of desire in India.Academic and Author of the book ‘Forbidden desire', Sindhu Rajasekaran speaks candidly about growing up queer under Section 377, uncovering erased queer histories in Indian archives, and how colonial morality reshaped the way gender, sexuality, and women's bodies are policed today.From Victorian ideas of “modesty” and the criminalisation of queer lives to the forgotten histories of sexually agentive women locked up in colonial institutions, this episode confronts how much of what we consider “tradition” is actually inherited repression.A conversation about memory over amnesia, desire over shame, and why reclaiming queer histories is essential to imagining freer futures.What this episode is REALLY aboutNot nostalgia for the past.Not Western feminism.Not fixed identities.It's about:Growing up queer in India: Life under Section 377 and criminalised loveColonial sexual politics: How the British rewrote Indian moralityQueer archives: What history tells us about gender fluidityVictorian modesty: Exporting shame and regulating bodiesLock hospitals: The sexual prisons nobody talks aboutErased literatures: How queerness was removed from Indian memoryPostcolonial amnesia: Why we forgot our own historiesSmashing the patriarchy: Everyday feminist resistanceGen Z & feminism: Redefining gender, identity, and politicsQueer feminism: Why the future of feminism must be fluidUndoing hierarchies: Power, equality, and dismantling gender binariesVisual storytelling: Representation, responsibility, and imaginationHonest conversations: Creating space beyond performative politicsIf you've ever wondered whether India was always this conservative — or what we lost between colonial shame and modern fear — this episode offers a rare, honest rethinking of gender, sexuality, and freedom.Support the PodcastIf this conversation made you rethink history, gender, or freedom — share it with someone who believes the past still shapes the politics of the present.Subscribe for conversations that question power, identity, memory, and resistance with honesty and depth.Music Credits : https://pixabay.com/music/ambient-butterfly-113600/✅ Subscribe To Our Channel: /themohuashow Stay updated!

(00:00:00) First, Mi Xian and Mark Fazollah of Spotlight PA join us to discuss their reporting on undercounted and misreported rapes in the State College area. Their investigation reveals how gaps in data, institutional practices, and reporting systems can obscure the reality of sexual violence. They walk us through what they uncovered, why these discrepancies matter, and how communities are affected when the numbers meant to protect them fall short. (00:22:21) Then, we shift from modern reporting failures to the deep past with Chrissie Senecal, historian at Shippensburg University, for a journey into the origins and evolution of nursery rhymes. Chrissie explores how many familiar rhymes trace back to medieval Europe, shaped by the politics, fears, humor, and social tensions of their time. We dig into the “dark” or hidden meanings encoded in rhyme and rhythm, how these verses transformed from adult commentary to children’s entertainment, and why they’ve endured for centuries.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Hi friends. Happy Wednesday. More importantly...

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! No tricks. Just treats here this spooky season. Over the years, many of your have commented that your like to put Dark History on and just let it play in the background. So, instead of you having to shuffle through a mish mash of episodes... I did the hard work for you and created a special themed playlist, if you will. Welcome to... Tales from the Dark History Crypt. A compilation episode made up of my handpicked freaky favorites from over the years. I'm talking everything from Satanic Panic gripping the American countryside to a spellbinding spiritual leader who had Russian Royalty under his control. We got witches, we got psychics and we got conspiracy theories so insane... they just might be true. So lock your door, light some candles and pull that blankie up tight. Spooky season is upon us with Tales from the Dark History Crypt. ________ 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 Goodreads: http://bit.ly/3IVnO7N 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 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.
