Horrifying History

On June 1st, 2001, members of Nepal’s royal family gathered for what should have been a quiet evening dinner.  There was laughter, conversations about politics and the future of the monarchy over drinks.  Within minutes, the king, queen, and other family members were dead.  When the shooting stopped, the murderer became the new king.

So, set the table, my spooky friends.  Today, you will hear the story about a man who fulfilled a curse by killing his own family.

We here at Horrifying History step into the darkest corners of history, where the line between charm and evil can disappear without warning, and where monsters do not always look like monsters.  Today’s episode is one of those stories.  

The man you are going to hear about did not lurk in the shadows with blood on his hands.  He smiled and flirted.  He joked with television audiences and posed for photographs.  In one of the strangest moments in American true crime, he appeared as an eligible bachelor while he was actively killing women and children.

So, turn on your television, my spooky friends.  Today, you will hear the story of a predator who hid behind charisma while leaving devastation in his wake.  But before we start today, I want to give you all a heads up.  Today, we will be talking about violence towards women, child abuse, sexual assault, and murder.  Listener discretion is advised.

One of the most important figures in Texas’s history never set foot in this American state.  In fact, she was never in the United States at all.

Have you ever wondered what happens after we die? Is there a bright light? Some harp-playing angels? Or do we spend eternity trying to remember why we walked into a room in the first place? Well, if you've got questions about the afterlife, you're in luck... because this week, we're bringing you a special feed drop from our friends at Voices of Misery.

Joining the show is Ericka Bouss-ar-hane, a psychic medium who doesn't just believe in ghosts... she actually talks to them.  And unlike most of us, when Ericka hears strange voices in the middle of the night, she doesn't immediately blame the cat, the plumbing, or a lack of sleep.

Los Angeles in the summer of 1985 was supposed to feel glamorous…palm trees…neon lights…endless highways…and Hollywood dreams.  But while people slept with their windows open in the California heat, someone was moving through the darkness.  He climbed through unlocked windows and walked through unlocked doors.  With him, he carried guns, knives, tire irons, and rage.  

So,  lock your doors, my spooky friends.  Today, you will hear the story of a serial killer who created a panic that was like nothing police had ever seen before.  But before we get started, I want to give you all a heads up.  Today, we will be talking about child abuse, animal abuse, sexual assault, graphic murders, extreme violence, and satanic symbolism.  Listener discretion is advised

When I was young, I rode a bus to school that was driven by one of my Aunts.  I would often fall asleep on my way home.  Since my Aunt was used to seeing me, she would forget to drop me off.  When she realized her error, she would have a teenager who lived several stops after mine call my parents to let them know I was ok.

But imagine for a moment that the bus never dropped me off.  Imagine how a parent would feel if their child’s school bus never brought them home.  What if all the children, the bus driver, and the bus itself never arrived at their destination?  

So, buckle your seatbelt, my spooky friends.  Today, you will hear the story of children who were being driven home from school and became part of the largest mass abduction in U.S. history

With the emergence of the infamous QAnon conspiracy theory came a new generation of charismatic leaders for this movement.  In Canada, one of the most notable ones is a woman named Romana Didulo, who used the internet to create a following filled with threats, violence, and failed prophecies.  

So, break out your tin foil hats, my spooky friends.  Today, you will hear the story of a woman who claimed that she was the Queen of a kingdom that didn’t exist

On April 20, 1914, the wind howled across a barren stretch of land known as Ludlow in Southern Colorado.  It carried with it the scent of ash, and something far worse.  Beneath the blackened earth lie the dead bodies of men, women, and children.  This was not the site of a war or some revolution.  It was the site of a massacre.  

So, get cozy, my spooky friends.  Today, you will hear the story of the Ludlow Massacre and how this event affected the labour laws of today.
