Dark Histories, a podcast written and hosted by Ben Cutmore, is a great choice if you adore terrifyingly captivating tales. Under the genres of documentary and history, this strangely addicting podcast tells spooky but less-well-known stories of murder, ghosts, demons, and crime from times long past with sound effects and music. These stories never have a neat and concrete ending; instead, Cutmore focuses on tales of crimes that went unsolved, could not be explained, or were simply unbelievable, in an astounding amount of detail. In episodes of roughly one hour, Cutmore explores puzzling crimes such as the Ratcliffe Highway Murders of 1811, Rhynwick Williams and the London Monster, and Hugh and Mary Parsons and the Springfield Witch Trials. Although you may not have heard of these bizarre stories previously, many have elements that seem to come straight from a horror movie. New episodes come out every Thursday, so there will always be a thrilling mystery or shocking tale next time you are craving some adrenaline! You can find Dark Histories on Spotify, Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
