This week on Tales, Trails, and Taverns, things get a little darker than usual—because Rob is taking us deep below the surface of the internet and into the shadowy corridors of the dark web.
Joe sits back as Rob explains what the dark web actually is, how it works, and why it exists—far beyond the myths, urban legends, and Hollywood exaggerations.
But that’s just the beginning. From there, we dive into chilling, real accounts from people who wandered into digital places they never should’ve gone… in search of things they couldn’t obtain by any normal means.
We explore stories of hidden forums, strange marketplaces, unsettling chatrooms, and the kind of encounters that make you want to slam your laptop shut and leave the room. These aren’t ghost stories in the woods—these are modern, technological nightmares whispered by people who claimed to see something they can’t forget.
This episode is a stark reminder: sometimes the scariest things aren’t spirits in abandoned buildings or shadows in the forest… sometimes the danger is just a few keystrokes away.
Grab a drink, turn down the lights, and join us for a journey into the hidden underbelly of the internet—where curiosity often comes with a price.
