Dark History: Where The Darkness See’s The Light

Send us a text

In this spine-chilling episode, we delve deep into the shadowy world of werewolves—creatures that have stalked our collective nightmares for centuries. But this isn’t just another look at the folklore; we’re uncovering the darker side of history, where real people were accused of being werewolves. From the eerie tales of transformation under the full moon to the chilling accounts of bloodthirsty rampages, we explore how fear, superstition, and hysteria led to terrifying trials and executions.

We’ll journey through medieval Europe, where accusations of lycanthropy were as real and deadly as those of witchcraft. You'll hear stories of infamous figures who were believed to have the ability to transform into wolves and commit horrifying acts, and we'll discuss what it truly meant to be labelled a werewolf in those times. Were these people truly monsters—or victims of mass hysteria and fear? Join us as we pull back the veil on one of history’s darkest legends, asking the question: how far will fear push society to turn ordinary humans into the stuff of nightmares?
