Maybe they are just folklore a manifestation of superstitions an uneducated population.        Or maybe just maybe back in time they were truly real to these people, an actual legitimate fear that stalked the dimly lite streets of towns and villages, ready to pounce on and drain the life forces of anyone with the misfortune to cross paths with one.    Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast where we explore the darkest parts of human history. hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always.

Was it the warmth that kept me awake or was it the fact Rwanda was again on a knife edge?       The Two main tribes in our country have been at each other's throats for decades and I  couldn’t help but feel the palpable tension blanketing the capital Kigali.                Surely the violence that plagued the country in 1990 couldn’t return, surely the ceasefire  signed by President HabyarimanaWould hold. But as my eyes became heavy and I drift off to sleep, I remember seeing the calendar on the wall, tomorrow was the 6th of April 1994 the day our country plummets into the depths of hell for 100 days.  Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast where we explore the darkest parts of human history. hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always.  Just a quick thank you to you all for helping the show hit 50,000 downloads, when I started this just over a year ago I never thought I would get there and that is all down to you guys so thank you.        In today’s episode, we will discuss the Rwandan genocide, one of the most brutal and devastating events to happen to a country in modern history. I’m going to try to explain it as if I myself was there at the time, This will be a tough episode to talk about there is a lot of suffering and despair attached to this one, so please keep that In mind when listening, So without further ado please sit back and relax next to the fire for more dark history.*** Patreon link patreon.com/Darkhistory2021 ***I’ve recently set up a Patreon this is a place we’re you can support the show.

The peaceful slumber of the twilight, interrupted by the sounds of footsteps. Number 400 the woman thought as she tossed the small paper package into the Thames River. Little did she know this heinous act would be the last in a devilish career that spanned decades.    Soon a grisly discovery would be made, the body of a tiny little girl. This innocent little girl would bring about the end of the dark and evil life of Amelia Dyer.  Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. A little bit of housekeeping before we start. Back after a little delay I know it’s been about a month since episode five, real life got in the way but also I’ve taken a little time to try to improve the podcast, I’ve recently switched to Buzzsprout from Anchor and have gone back and listened to previous episodes to try and make the show better. One thing that I am going to try to do is to tell these more in a story format and I hope you enjoy them that way. I will go back to the Crusades in time but not just yet I feel that the episode didn’t perform as well as I hoped and maybe it was to saturated. Please keep in mind that this episode could be distressing to some people, So without further ado please sit back and relax next to the fire for more dark history. Links Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/darkhistorypod?mibextid=LQQJ4d Discord https://discord.gg/3mHPd3xg Email: darkhistory2021@outlook.com Tiktok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLSvwJJV/ YouTube :https://youtube.com/c/DarkHistory2021  Twitter: @darkhistory2021 Instagram: @dark_history21 Support the show*** Patreon link https://patreon.com/Darkhistory2021?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=join_link *** Merch:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/dark-history?ref_id=36220 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/darkhistorypod?mibextid=LQQJ4d Discord https://discord.gg/3mHPd3xg Email: darkhistory2021@outlook.com Tiktok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLSvwJJV/ YouTube :https://youtube.com/c/DarkHistory2021 Twitter: @darkhistory2021 Instagram: @dark_history21

Send us a text. Thank you for your messages I really appreciate it 😁During the last four decades, the Crusades have become one of the most dynamic areas of historical enquiry, which points to an increasing curiosity to understand and interpret these extraordinary events. What persuaded people in the Christian West to want to recapture Jerusalem? What impact did the success of the First Crusade (1099) have on the Muslim, Christian and Jewish communities of the eastern Mediterranean? What was the effect of crusading on the people and institutions of western Europe? How did people record the Crusades and, finally, what is their legacy?Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. Episode 5 wow this season is moving fast. Episodes 5 and possibly 6 will be about the crusades it’s far to cast a topic for just one episode, and nobody wants to listen to me drone on for hours in one sitting. I did speak briefly about the crusades in episode 1 but as I said I feel we need to go into more depth. As we all know this was a time of around 200 years were religions were at loggerheads over the holy land. These differences would lead to some bloody wars and terrible acts of humanity So without further ado please sit back and relax for more dark history.

Thought by most to be a scourge of the past, the bacteria of the plague still appears from time to time and has even been researched as a biological weapon by some countries.Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast hopes everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. In episode 3 were going to talk about the Black Death, this topic seems like it was aeons ago but the emergents of Covid-19 and the quarantines it brought with it.

To some it hold find memory of sun sea and sand, the younger among us may never had heard of this once Baltic country but to some it brings memorys of war, death, destruction and genocide.Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. In episode 2 were going to look at the former country of Yugoslavia, up until recently the war that was fought here was the last fought in Europe. This is going to be another in a long line of grim tales from Europe, but it is up there with some of the most despicable and deplorable stories that have come out of this much civilized continent. Please don't judge me on my pronunciations in this I am going to murder quite a few. So without further ado please sit back and relax for more dark history.

Send us a text. Thank you for your messages I really appreciate it 😁The Middle East, is a land of mystique, wonder and is the cradle of civilization. A land where people have flourished for thousands of years in the backdrop of a harsh and arid landscape, but unfortunately just like many places on this earth the ground is soaked in blood. This once prosperous and technologically advanced part of the world has decayed into a land of pain torture and misery.Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. Well, I hope everyone had a great Christmas and a happy new year, I hope everyone is over their hangovers and ready to get back to it. I thought I would start season two with something similar to season one but this time, if you hadn't guessed, we’ll be looking at the middle east. As you will hear this place has been the centre of the world on numerous occasions throughout history whether it be through empires or technological advances but has always had this sort of destabilising undertone that in modern times has ripped a lot of it apart. so without further ado please sit back and relax for more dark history.

Send us a text. Thank you for your messages I really appreciate it 😁Hi everyone I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. Thank you for all your support through this first year of the podcast. I really hope you enjoy the Christmas special Christmas is a time for cozying up in front of a roaring fire with family and friends, with gifts for giving and receiving, a time to eat drink and be merry and over indulgence. For those who are more religious amount us it’s a spiritual time of year, a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. How ever you spend your time our contemporary Christmas has changed dramatically over the century’s, it’s be morphed, polished and censored into a commercial wonderland of craziness. Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. So we are here episode 23 and the last of this season and this year. I’m going to start with a couple of apologies before we continue so first of all this episode is late as I have just got over Covid, I was unwell for the first week then the second week my voice just wasn’t right so I decided to delay this episode for a week so I could give it my all. Second I’ve had a bit of a mix up with my podcast distributor seem I put some episodes for subscription only. When I realised my mistake they were unpublished so I had to re publish them and now the sequencing is all out of whack. So yah am sorry about those two things. For episode 23 I though I would change it up a little, being the time of year and all I didn’t really want to spread doom and gloom, but I also didn’t want to go too far off topic so I decided to have a look at some of the Christmas folklore from around the world. There is still a modicum of death a distraction but this week it’s tied in a bow. so without further ado please sit back and relax for more dark history.
