Episode 97: Misplaced
8 oktober 2018 · 31 min
For thousands of years, humans have built rules and procedures for handling the various curveballs that life throws our way—and we place a lot of trust in those systems. Most of the time, it all works properly, but there are moments when human nature and our belief in the unusual throw a wrench in the gears. Lees meer

Episode 96: The Long Good-Bye
1 oktober 2018 · 32 min
Life is full of challenges. From learning new skills to climbing the social ladder, most people struggle with the hurdles we're forced to overcome. But when it's all said and done, few things are as difficult as something all of us will have to face some day: saying good-bye. Lees meer

Episode 95: Out of Sight
17 september 2018 · 30 min
Few things disappoint us more than when our expectations aren't met. We expect to be loved, or to be rewarded for our hard work. And above all, we expect the people in our lives to always be there. Which is why it's so frightening to hear stories of those who don't—of people who were right there, where they should be, only to disappear without explanation. Lees meer

Episode 94: Hard Rain
3 september 2018 · 30 min
Our understanding of the natural world is incredibly advanced compared to our ancestors from a few centuries ago. We have established rules and order to help us frame how everything works. On occasion, though, those rules have been broken, and the results have been absolutely terrifying. Lees meer

Episode 93: A Place to Lay Your Head
20 augustus 2018 · 30 min
Humans are hard-wired for trust. It's the secret ingredient that helps us form communities, build relationships, and grow as people. But while that trust is a noble inclination, it can also get us into trouble—trouble that can sometimes turn deadly. Lees meer

Episode 92: Stronger
6 augustus 2018 · 29 min
There is a lot in life that we can control, but no system is perfect. Every now and then, circumstances pull the rug out from underneath us and leave us powerless. But at least one surprise turn of events had a different affect, and the results have left us with questions that are still unanswered today. Lees meer

Episode 91: Beneath the Surface
23 juli 2018 · 29 min
Islands have served a variety of functions for people over the years. They can be a place of safety and privacy, or of simplicity and escape. But islands have played host to other less savory events over the years. And just because they can be small, it doesn't mean they can't be dark. Lees meer

Episode 90: Mind the Gap
9 juli 2018 · 37 min
We tend think of rivers and lakes as tame. They are the safe and friendly counterpart to the deep and treacherous waters of the ocean. Freshwater rivers and lakes give us life, after all. But that doesn't mean they aren't dangerous. Somewhere in the darkness beneath their calm surface, terrifying stories wait for us. Lees meer

Episode 89: Fanning the Flames
25 juni 2018 · 31 min
Some cities experience a single tragedy and then live with that pain and loss for generations. They are built on a dark foundation, and everything new takes on a flavor of the past. But there are other places where that tragedy is spread out over time, like a slow-burning fire that never fully consumes but always leaves its mark—and I'd like to take you on a tour of one.

Episode 88: Crossing the Line
11 juni 2018 · 38 min
Humans have always sought companionship. From the communities we live in, to the pets we welcome into our homes, our need for companions is as old as we are. But that natural desire has led some to pursue some very unnatural ideas. Lees meer

Episode 87: Road Trip
28 mei 2018 · 35 min
Every now and then a story comes along that is so powerful and compelling that it creates a new branch on the tree of folklore. Yes, it has deeper roots, but sometimes a new expression of fear grows out to cast new shade on our already-fearful lives. And one of these rare moments happened less than six decades ago. Lees meer

Episode 86: Under Siege
14 mei 2018 · 36 min
Our bodies are a fortress, and every day, they suffer through attacks from the outside. Over the centuries, we're become very good at protecting ourselves from illness and disease, but all of those efforts assume everyone around us will be responsible. Illness, though, has often been misused—sometimes maliciously and other times through sheer ignorance—and the results have been horrifying. Lees meer

Episode 85: Creature of Habit
30 april 2018 · 32 min
Our home is supposed to be a safe space where we are free to relax and enjoy life. History, though, contains stories that break that mould. Places where people want to live in peace, and yet find themselves at odds with forces beyond their control. And if there's a logical reason, it might very well be buried in the past. Lees meer

Episode 83: Carried Away
2 april 2018 · 32 min
Humans have always been more than a little bit superstitious, and one of the oldest and most universal of those beliefs is the curse. The story of how that belief has evolved in relation to one particular culture, though, is both powerful and frightening. It would serve us well to not get swept up in the lies. Lees meer

Episode 82: Forgotten
19 maart 2018 · 31 min
People are really good at moving on. We rush from fad to fad at an alarming speed, and it's difficult to predict where our interests will land next. In the process, we tend to abandon things—things like the places we live. But don't be fooled; even after we've all moved on, those places are far from uninhabited. Lees meer

5 maart 2018 · 31 min
Humanity seems to always be at risk of suffering through another major outbreak. History is full with dark moments of biological chaos, and despite constant advances in medical science, there seems to be no end in sight. We're afraid of getting sick, and sometimes it feels like we're right on the edge. And that can be a terrifying place to be. Lees meer

Episode 79: Locked Away
5 februari 2018 · 29 min
Our lives have a way of becoming magnets that attract pain and suffering. Some of us go through more than others, but in the end, we're all running from something. Just how far we might go to get away is a mystery, but it could never top the lengths one person went to to escape a life of pain and guilt. This is their story. Lees meer

Episode 78: Exposure
22 januari 2018 · 34 min
We live in a very technological world today, with constant updates and improvements over last year's model, and while many of the advancements are amazing, few have impacted humanity quite like photography. It opened up new worlds, and changed the way we think about time and space. Some, however, might have taken that too far. Lees meer

Waves of illness crash against the shores of humanity. They always have, and they probably always will. But we weather the storm through advancements in medical science and the resilience of human nature. Still, no matter how hard we've tried, some outbreaks have left a dark stain on the pages of history. Lees meer

Episode 76: Talk Show
22 december 2017 · 28 min
Life is a lot like a big budget movie. We click play, and then let the action wash over us. There are highs and lows, laughter and tears, and then it's all over and the screen goes silent. The dead can't talk back, something most people are thankful for. Still, there have been rare moments in history when that rule appears to have been broken—and the results were extraordinary.

Episode 75: Black and Wild
11 december 2017 · 26 min
The pages of our greatest literature are full of tales of powerful wizards. People gifted with abilities that stand head and shoulder above their peers. They act as guides, ushering us into a new world with fresh possibilities. And yet they are much more than simply a tool used by storytellers. In fact, history paints a much more fascinating—and dark—picture for us. Lees meer

Episode 74: All Fall Down
27 november 2017 · 28 min
The sky is a source of life for everything on this planet. Rain to quench our thirst and sunlight for our food. We don't look up too often these days, but that hasn't changed our dependance on it. But occasionally, the sky can be a source of something else. Something much less typical than rain or snow or sunshine. History, it seems, paints a very frightening picture of the world above us.

Episode 73: A Sweet Embrace
13 november 2017 · 33 min
When our health is failing and our lives are at risk, trust is essential. The people who care for us often find themselves in a position of power, with our well-being entirely under their control. As history has shown us, however, there's danger in handing that much control over to another person. Lees meer

Episode 72: A Grave Mistake
30 oktober 2017 · 41 min
Humans have a seemingly never-ending list of fears. The dark of night, small spaces, open water…there doesn't seem to be an area of life that doesn't come with a few reasons to take pause and be afraid. But the greatest of those fears might just come at the end of our lives, and for over a century, that fear drove people to unimaginable things. Lees meer

Episode 71: Silver Lining
16 oktober 2017 · 28 min
We've conquered much of our world, but even with all of our great cities and urban sprawl, there are still shadows on the edge. And it's in the shadows that the greatest threats still exist—creatures from our darkest nightmares that threaten our feeling of safety. Which has led some to strike out into the dark and hunt them.

There's a fine line between rationality and madness, but it's not as easy to avoid as you might think.

Episode 69: Wide Open
18 september 2017 · 27 min
The sky is full of mystery. It's big, expansive, and—despite a century of powered human flight—outside our realm of control. Which is why, for centuries, humans have expected things to come down from the sky and harm us. It might sound crazy now, but the possibilities are wide open. And that might not be a good thing.

4 september 2017 · 28 min
