70. Sonic Shadows: The Haunted Side of Music
🎶 From sacred rituals to cursed records, music has always carried echoes of the supernatural. In this episode, we dive into the haunted history of sound—where rhythm becomes ritual, studios hide spirits, and some songs seem to carry a curse of their own.
✨ Episode Highlights:
- 🥁 Ancient beats and shamanic rituals: when music summoned spirits
- 🎵 The “Devil’s Interval” and music feared as forbidden
- 🎸 Robert Johnson’s legendary deal at the crossroads
- 👻 Haunted studios where ghostly voices linger
- 💀 Cursed songs and chilling urban legends (Gloomy Sunday, Love Rollercoaster)
- 🔮 Artists inspired by the occult: Led Zeppelin, Ghost, Stevie Nicks, David Bowie & more
- 🕯️ Sonic sorcery—why certain sounds make us feel haunted
Music doesn’t just entertain—it conjures, unsettles, and sometimes terrifies. From the occult to the uncanny, we’re exploring why sound so often feels like a doorway to the other side. So grab your headphones, dim the lights, and let the music guide you into the shadows—where every note might carry something not of this world.
