Haunted Hospitals

Horrifying History

04/13/22 • 33 min

I am quite often asked what I think the most haunted place is. Many guess it is a cemetery, but that’s not what I think. Ghosts are said to appear in a location due to emotion...they were happy there or perhaps they died there. The thing is that both of these do not always apply to a cemetery, but they do apply to hospitals.

Many people take their last breaths in a hospital, and because of that I believe that these places are some of the most haunted places around.

Deja Vu and Time Loops

Horrifying History

06/15/22 • 15 min

In 1993, a movie staring Bill Murray was released called Groundhog Day. In this film, a bitter and cynical TV weatherman played by Murray goes to a small town to film a report about their annual Groundhog Day celebrations. Soon after arriving, he finds himself living the same day over and over again. Originally this situation makes him frustrated and angry, but soon he starts seeing how reliving events could be to his advantage.

Now this is just a Hollywood tale, but if you ask anyone if they had deja vu - they would likely say they have. But imagine for a minute if a feeling of deja vu went longer than just a moment. Imagine if it just kept going on and on.

Serial Killers Who Were Never Caught

Horrifying History

05/04/22 • 33 min

In today’s society, many serial killers are thought about as terrifying monsters. Many try to dissect a serial killer’s actions to attempt to figure out why they did what they did. The thing that is terrifying though is the fact that many serial killers were never caught. It is horrifying to think that these people may be still out there, and could still be active. What if they are someone we know?

As a heads up my dear listeners, today we will be talking about graphic murder scenes for both adults and children. We also will be speaking about assault, murder, graphic crime scenes, and sexual assault. Listener discretion is advised.

The Dark Side of Disney: The Tale Behind the Fairytales, Part 3

Horrifying History

05/11/22 • 30 min

When I originally thought of telling you all about the real stories behind the Disney-fied versions of fairytales, I had no idea what you all would think. I am happy to say that you loved hearing the original versions, as much as I loved telling them to you.

The tales behind the Disney versions are full of darkness and death. They give us a view of the ideologies and biases of the times that they were written, but sometimes the bias is actually on Disney’s part.

Even though Disney wants us to think that all women are delicate, but strong princesses - that is not the truth. They want us to think that all men are valiant, but they are not. Good and evil are not as black and white as Disney makes things out to be. Not everyone lives happily ever after in a castle with their true loves.

Gather around my dear listeners...its time for another story.

When the circus comes to town; many get very excited. Circus’s are advertised as “fun for all ages”, and provide entertainment that you wouldn’t normally see. But in the case of a circus that went to Toronto in 1855 - it was not fun. In fact, it resulted in the start of changing the political structure of the city itself.

The Legend of Polybius

Horrifying History

09/14/22 • 29 min

Many people love playing video games. It is a way for people to escape from their regular lives, and allows a diversity of choice that the real world can’t provide. According to multiple studies, gaming can boost a persons mood, and help relieve stress. They also can be used as a learning tool, and this is why video games have been used in therapy for at least a decade.

But imagine for a moment that there is a game that was used for a different purpose. Imagine that there is a game that was created as part of a psychology experiment to produce psychoactive effects, and eventually result in controlling the mind of the person who plays it.
