Horrifying History

You wake up in the middle of the night.  Everything seems to be normal, but then you try to move.  Nothing happens.  Your body will not respond.  Then something changes.  You feel yourself rising, but not physically.  You look down and see your body still lying in bed, but you are no longer in it.  For some, this experience is exhilarating.  For others, it is absolutely terrifying. So, snuggle in, my spooky friends.  Today, you will hear about how sometimes our consciousness is said to separate from our bodies.

Imagine walking through a field just before sunrise.  The air is cold, and there is a thin layer of mist close to the ground.  The world is quiet…too quiet.  You are surrounded by acres of grain that stretch into the darkness.  That’s when you see it: a perfectly formed circle.  It’s not a rough patch or an area where the wind has blown crops over.  It is a perfectly formed circle. Every stalk of grain inside it appears to be pressed toward the ground.  Inside this circle is another circle, and another, and another.  Together they form a pattern so enormous that you can’t comprehend what you are looking at, so you climb a nearby hill.  Suddenly, the pattern appears to you.  It is geometric, precise, and disturbing.   So, get ready, my spooky friends.  Today, you will hear the history of crop circles, where they come from, and take a look at who could be creating them.  Is it a human, or perhaps something more? Our website is the spot for everything spooky!  Go to https://horrifying-history-shop.fourthwall.com to watch our history videos, find our social media links, read our spooky blog, get some great creepy merch, and join our fan club!

In a cramped jail cell in the Philippines, a terrified young woman claimed unseen forces were attacking her.  Prison guards refused to enter her cell alone, and newspapers across the country published sensational headlines.  An American missionary would later claim that he confronted what was said to be truly evil.   So, settle in, my spooky friends.  Today, you will hear the story of a young woman who was the subject of one of the most famous alleged exorcisms in modern history.  Our website is the spot for everything spooky!  Go to https://horrifying-history-shop.fourthwall.com to watch our history videos, find our social media links, read our spooky blog, get some great creepy merch, and join our fan club!  If you are a member of our fan club, you will receive a permanent discount in our store while you are a member and get our episodes a week early.  You will also get a bonus episode each week!  Find us on social media:  Facebook:www.facebook.com/horrifyinghistory  Instagram & Threads: @horrifying_history  X: @horrifyinghist1  Blue Sky:@horrifyinghistory.bsky.social  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@horrifyinghistory   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

There are some moments in life where everything changes in an instant.  A hiker slips from a mountain ledge… a sailor disappears beneath towering waves… an explorer stumbles through an endless frozen wasteland with no strength left to continue.  These are the moments that logic says the story should end.  But for thousands of people throughout history, it doesn’t.  Sometimes there is overwhelming certainty that another person is with you, urging you to keep going.  When you are safe, it’s gone.  So, pack a bag, my spooky friends.  Today, you will hear the story of a phenomenon about an unseen presence that gives comfort, guidance, or physical support to save lives.  Our website is the spot for everything spooky!  Go to https://horrifying-history-shop.fourthwall.com to watch our history videos, find our social media links, read our spooky blog, get some great creepy merch, and join our fan club!

The American dream paints a picture of sprawling mansions, expensive cars, and families who seem to have everything.  From the outside, the Menendez family appeared to be living that dream, but inside, it was a house of terror.  So, get ready, my spooky friends.  Today, you will hear the rest of a case that is considered to be one of the most debated in American criminal history.  But before we start, I want to give you all a heads-up.  In today’s episode, we will be talking about physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, as well as graphic murders.  Listener discretion is advised.  Our website is the spot for everything spooky!  Go to https://horrifying-history-shop.fourthwall.com to watch our history videos, find our social media links, read our spooky blog, get some great creepy merch, and join our fan club!
