  • The Wolfman of Hanover: Fritz Haarmann

    Werewolves have been part of folklore since the times of Greek mythology.  In one of the earliest stories about werewolves; an Arcadian King named Lycaon decided to test Zeus by serving him a dish of his slaughtered and dismembered son to see if Zeus was truly the all seeing god that everyone said he was.  When Zeus found out, he was furious.  As punishment, Zeus turned Lycaon into a wolf and killed his fifty sons by bolts of lightning.  He then brought the hacked up son back to life, and it was he that succeeded his father on the throne of Arcadia.  

    Through the ages, many have been fascinated by stories about werewolves.  Experts believe there are several reasons behind this which include the duality of humanity, the escapism of the stories themselves, and the moral and ethical dilemmas that these characters face.  We get a thrill from hearing about a werewolf being just like us during the day, but at night turning into an animalistic killer.  But sometimes; reality is much worse than the stories that we tell each other around campfires at night, and the story of the Wolfman of Hanover is one of those tales.

    So get comfortable my spooky friends… today you will hear the story of Fritz Haarmann: The Wolfman of Hanover.  But before we do, I want to give you all a little heads up.  In today’s episode we will be talking about some very dark topics including: sexual assault, brutal murders, mutilation and dismemberment, and cannibalism.  Listener discretion is advised.

    Introducing One of Their Own (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE) from MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories.

    Follow the show: MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories

    On a fall night in 1987, a young woman was walking down the middle of a dark street in a rural Kentucky town. She heard a car turn onto the street behind her, and it sounded like it was driving fast, so she quickly got onto the sidewalk. Suddenly, the car screeched to a stop just a few feet away from her. The car doors flew open, and before the young woman knew what was happening, someone grabbed her, lifted her off the ground, and threw her into the backseat. The car sped off, and the terrified young woman would soon find herself in the middle of a horrific nightmare that would haunt her for almost 20 years…

  • Some of the Most Strangest Deaths in History

    I think that at one time or another everyone has thought about how they would die.  It is a morbid question, but if there is one thing that is certain in life is that we will die eventually.  We have almost no control on the when and where, and all of us wish that we will lead long fulfilling lives and die in our sleep.  But the truth is, death comes for us all.  Sometimes it comes in bizarre and unique ways that people talk about for years to come.

    So pop some popcorn my spooky friends… today you will hear about some very unusual and unexpected deaths throughout history
