    In this special collaborative episode, Dark History teams up with Ireland Crimes and Mysteries to bring you an in-depth exploration of one of the most transformative and tumultuous chapters in Irish and British history—the Irish War of Independence and the complex legacy of Michael Collins. Hosted by Rob from Dark History and Nules from Ireland Crimes and Mysteries, this episode blends unique perspectives and rich storytelling to unpack the conflict that reshaped a nation.

Nules brings an authentic Irish perspective, weaving in stories of heroism, betrayal, and the cultural impact of the struggle, while Rob provides insights from the British side, highlighting the challenges and miscalculations that fueled the war.

    The duo sheds light on the rise of Michael Collins, the charismatic and daring leader of the Irish Republican Army, whose guerrilla tactics and intelligence network turned the tide against British forces. They recount how Collins orchestrated operations that outwitted British intelligence, leading to dramatic confrontations and a legacy marked by both admiration and controversy.

    Listeners will gain an understanding of the fraught negotiations that led to the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty—a step toward freedom but one that came at a great cost. Rob and Nules explore how the treaty split the nation and sparked a civil war, culminating in Collins’s tragic assassination and the ripple effects that followed.

    With engaging dialogue, deep historical analysis, and compelling storytelling, this collaborative episode takes you into the heart of Ireland’s fight for independence and the scars it left behind.

    👻🎃👻 Halloween Special 👻🎃👻

    In this chilling episode, we dive deep into the foggy backstreets of Victorian London to explore the fate of the most infamous serial killer in history: Jack the Ripper. What happened to him after those grisly murders? Was he a cunning aristocrat moving unseen among the poor? Or an unassuming working man, slipping through Whitechapel undetected? We sift through compelling theories – from Charles Cross’s suspicious presence at crime scenes to the idea that Jack could have been a butcher or barber, blending in while covered in blood.

    Unearth the eerie truth behind unreliable media coverage, secretive Ripper files lost during the Blitz, and older, often overlooked murders that might bear his brutal signature. We'll also uncover the trades of barbers in this dark era, exploring how they wielded tools that could have easily doubled as instruments of horror. Was Jack simply an invisible figure, hiding in plain sight?

    Prepare for a journey through London's most sinister streets as we piece together the clues surrounding the Ripper’s vanishing act.

    Step into the shadows with Rob and special guest Leon McAnally, author of A Guide to Dark Attractions in the UK, as Dark History uncovers the haunting beauty of London’s Magnificent Seven cemeteries. These sprawling Victorian graveyards weren’t just built to house the dead – they tell the story of a city grappling with mortality, superstition, and the macabre.

    In this spine-chilling episode, we delve deep into the shadowy world of werewolves—creatures that have stalked our collective nightmares for centuries. But this isn’t just another look at the folklore; we’re uncovering the darker side of history, where real people were accused of being werewolves. From the eerie tales of transformation under the full moon to the chilling accounts of bloodthirsty rampages, we explore how fear, superstition, and hysteria led to terrifying trials and executions.

    We’ll journey through medieval Europe, where accusations of lycanthropy were as real and deadly as those of witchcraft. You'll hear stories of infamous figures who were believed to have the ability to transform into wolves and commit horrifying acts, and we'll discuss what it truly meant to be labelled a werewolf in those times. Were these people truly monsters—or victims of mass hysteria and fear? Join us as we pull back the veil on one of history’s darkest legends, asking the question: how far will fear push society to turn ordinary humans into the stuff of nightmares?

    For over a century, this chilling case has captivated the public’s imagination, evoking a blend of fascination and dread. The Hinterkaifeck farmhouse, with its seemingly idyllic rural setting, hides within its walls a story of unimaginable horror. The brutality of the murders, coupled with the eerie circumstances surrounding the crime, has left investigators and amateur sleuths alike baffled and intrigued.
