S2 E21: The Halloween Special: The Tamers Of The Black Cat

Send us a text. Thank you for your messages I really appreciate it 😁

Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast where we explore the darkest parts of human history. I hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. Welcome to the new episode and the eagerly awaited Halloween special well I hope the eagerly awaited Halloween special anyway. Strap yourselves in because this is going to be a monster episode pun most defiantly intended. I hope you all enjoyed the modernised rendition of Edgar Allen Poe’s the black cat, I know it is sac religious to change the works of a gothic genius such as Edgar Allan Poe but if anyone has read the original black cat story or The Raven, for example, you will see that the language and style of writing is incredibly different to ours nowadays so please forgive me for trying to make it a little easier for a illiterate dumb brute such as myself. After that Hugh Caviat lets get down to the episode. Last year our Halloween special was about the story of the pendal witches and their trials and tribulations. I chose this as this is relatively close to where I live. In keeping with this tradition of witches on Halloween and to take into account the demographic of my listeners, I thought would bring you the most infamous witch trials of all the Salem witch trials, but then I though no! this topic has been well-trodden. So I pondered and pondered and tried to delve into obscurity and what did I come out with? More witch trials…. Yep…. more witch trials, but these witch trials are slightly more obscure and showcase the shear brutality that humans can inflict. Obligatorily I must warn you this Halloween special is not for the faint hearted we are about to descend into a rabbit hole of some of the most darkest tales imaginable, nothing and nobody was off limits in these stories no matter the age. So with that warning out the way please turn off those lights sit back and relax under the blanker for the final part of our spooky season specials and more dark history. *** Patreon link patreon.com/Darkhistory2021 *** Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/darkhistorypod?mibextid=LQQJ4d Discord https://discord.gg/3mHPd3xg Email: darkhistory2021@outlook.com Tiktok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLSvwJJV/ YouTube :https://youtube.com/c/DarkHistory2021 T
