Welcome to True Dark, where we unearth the haunting remnants of history's darkest chapters. In this episode, we delve into "Historical Epidemics and their Relics," starting with one of humanity's most devastating pandemics: the Black Death and the eerie London Plague Pits that serve as its grim reminder.

Imagine the 14th century, where a mysterious illness spreads terror and death. We explore how the Black Death decimated populations and left behind haunting relics like the London Plague Pits, resurfacing centuries later to remind us of the past. Next, we unravel the story of the cholera outbreaks and John Snow's revolutionary map, a breakthrough that changed the course of medical history. Finally, we examine the chilling legacy of smallpox, a disease that shaped the development of modern immunization.

Join us as we journey through these dark chapters, uncovering the stories etched in the relics of suffering and survival.

Remember, the past is never truly gone—it lingers, waiting to be uncovered in the light of True Dark.
