His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid.

Today I thought a change of pace would be in order, I know people tune in for the dark or mysterious tales of history but sometimes it’s just better to leave the heavy stuff for an episode or two. Today we will celebrate some of the mind-bending, bizarre, absurd, and downright unbelievable stories that have happened in history. Join us as we uncover the weirdest, wildest, and most WTF stories that have shaped the course of human history.
Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast where we explore the darkest parts of human history. hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. Welcome to season 3 episode 6, WTF historical tales vol 1, these are going to be some of the most outrageous stories from history that make you go what the actual fuck is going on, some you may have heard them before abut others you may never have. believe me, there are tonnes of these so I will sprinkle these into the seasons going forward. I know in the past couple of episodes we haven't got down into the trenches of the death and destruction of years gone by, but the detritus and evil will return I thought maybe a little pallet cleanser would be in order from the moroseness that this channel some times can bring. Some of these stories may make you laugh, some may make you upset but all will make you say what the fuck.
Before start I want to thank today's sponsor history on the rock
So without further ado please turn off those lights sit back and relax next to the fire for more dark history.
