Well, this episode went in a different direction than I intended, but I started down this rabbit hole and here we are. Lake Crescent in the state of Washington is an absolutely beautiful body of water with plenty of hiking trails to keep you active and busy. It just so happens to have a darker history; from landslides and car wrecks to murder and even making it on more than a few haunted hike lists...

After a long break and a lot of contemplating the future of The Dark Masquerade, I have finally made a decision for what's to come of this podcast. While it was an extremely difficult choice to make, I feel like, in the end, it was the best possible solution. 

As of right now, we are tentatively scheduled to release our first remastered episode on September 13, 2023. I will post any updates as far as scheduling and releases from here on out right here in the description box.

If you have any ideas of your own to improve the listening experience for yourself and others, please feel free to share them with me. You can e-mail me at:

Thank you all for your continued support and I look forward to coming back stronger and better than ever!

This is it!! The final installation of the Gallego Murders! Gerald Gallego and Charlene Williams weren't done adding victims to their already too long list when we left off last. This episode is a little longer than the previous ones, but I'm finally giving you the conclusion to this whole ordeal. I hope it was worth the wait...

I'm sorry if the audio in this episode isn't the best! I recorded in a different room this time and I noticed it wasn't as good as it could have been. I'm still working on getting a more permanent recording studio set up. Thank you all for your love and support!

I ended up going in a slightly different direction than what I had planned today.  In this episode I am going over some medieval torture methods! Many of us know all about the stocks and pillories or even flaying, but what about scaphism? I tell you all about these and more in this episode on torture.
