  • CURSES CARVED IN STONE: The Dark Side of Egyptian Hieroglyphics

    CURSES CARVED IN STONE: The Dark Side of Egyptian Hieroglyphics
    Apr 2 2025
    The ancients didn’t just fear death — they weaponized it, leaving behind curses in hieroglyphics meant to haunt anyone brave enough to look.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version of #WeirdDarkness: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: They say grief lingers in the house where children were murdered… but so does something colder, crueler — and far more dangerous. (The Horror of Waupun, Wisconsin) *** In the haunted heart of Edinburgh, there’s a pub where the drinks are strong and the screams are stronger. (The Spirits of Banshee Labyrinth) *** The last person to see Virginia alive passed a polygraph — but his wife said he didn’t come home until hours later. (The Vanishing of Virginia Carpenter) *** Asteroids, alien civilizations, even cosmic plagues — the real terror isn’t what we can see in the sky… it’s what we can’t. (Space Threats to Earth) *** It started with flirtation, turned into an affair, and ended with a gunshot echoing through the cold night air in a Walgreen’s parking lot. (Three Shots In The Night) *** They carved their warnings into stone 4,000 years ago — and now, after centuries of silence, the hieroglyphic curses of the dead are being read aloud once again. But in doing so, are we inviting doom and destruction?

  • THE SKY OPENED AND PEOPLE VANISHED: The Tully Nest Affair – UFOs and Abductions in Australia

    THE SKY OPENED AND PEOPLE VANISHED: The Tully Nest Affair – UFOs and Abductions in Australia
    Apr 2 2025
    They came from above, left circles behind, and for some — took time, memories, or loved ones.

    IN THIS EPISODE: Something strange happened in 1966 Australia. Lights in the skies, sightings of saucer shaped objects, and the start of what eventually came to be known as crop circles. It’s a mystery that still lingers today, and it appears to be a kind of catalyst for so many similar oddities to follow. (The Tully Nests Affair) *** When you think of the most deadly, man-killing animals in existence, you might think of the big cats, or alligators, or sharks… but don’t be too quick to dismiss birds as dealers of death. (Death-Dealing Fowl) *** It’s one of the world’s most haunted places… it is a ship that you can now book a room in as a hotel. We’ll look at the very haunted Queen Mary. (The Haunted Queen Mary) *** The result of an accidental pregnancy finds out later in life he might be the son of a demon. (Son of the Demon) *** Most every item I bring to you here in Weird Darkness is going to have taken place in history – and most all of them you hear are going to be unnerving, or even horrifying… but there are some particularly macabre moments in history that stand out among the others. Most of which you’ve probably never heard of. (Macabre Moments in History)

Dark sweetness

I’m glad a friend of mine recommended this to me, you never know what you’re going to come across sometimes but it’s always nice to find a diamond. If you’re into the dark & interesting, this might be a good fit for you

I enjoy listening to the story telling.

This was a thrilling story that had the sound like it could have come from truth.
