Horrifying History

To all of the parents out there - I salute you.  Raising a child is extremely challenging, even in the best of times.  Emotions and behaviours rapidly change as children grow, and learn about the world around them.  Children just like adults feel sad, anxious, upset, or even aggressive at times.  But in most cases, this is typical in a child’s development.  Sometimes though, it is not. Many mental disorders start in childhood.  From anxiety disorders, ADHD, to depression and PTSD - many adults who reach out for mental health treatment realize that their issues started in childhood, and wish they had help sooner.   But there are times that a child develops issues, and they are not properly dealt with.  There are also times that people do not see the signs early enough, and it results in disaster.   Here’s a heads up for today’s episode my dear listeners…today we will be talking about murder and abuse that involves children.  Listener discretion is advised.   Welcome to Episode 97 - Children Who Kill   We got merch!  Shop now: HorrifyingHist1.redbubble.com www.horrifyinghistory.podbean.com Support our show at https://www.patreon.com/horrifyinghistory   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/horrifyinghistory Instagram: https://instagram.com/horrifying_history Twitter: https://twitter.com/horrifyinghist1   Horrifying History would like to thank the following sponsors for this episode: Discotopia - Designed by dreamers and powered by fans - get your music, podcast, and merch all in one spot.  Find this streaming platform that allows you to be creative without any fuss at www.discotopia.com The Donut - Get your news in easily accessible and fun ways.  Take the quick quiz on www.thedonut.co/history to choose what type of news you want to see, and choose to get either daily email newsletters or get your news via text.  And the best thing is...it is 100% free!   Horrifying History is part of the Darkcast Network.  Check out their other amazing podcasts at www.darkcastnetwork.wixsite.com Be sure not to miss the hidden Easter egg at the end of our episode from Darkcast network.

When I originally thought of telling you all about the real stories behind the Disney-fied versions of fairytales, I had no idea what you all would think.  I am happy to say that you loved hearing the original versions, as much as I loved telling them to you.  The tales behind the Disney versions are full of darkness and death.  They give us a view of the ideologies and biases of the times that they were written, but sometimes the bias is actually on Disney’s part.    Even though Disney wants us to think that all women are delicate, but strong princesses - that is not the truth.  They want us to think that all men are valiant, but they are not.  Good and evil are not as black and white as Disney makes things out to be.  Not everyone lives happily ever after in a castle with their true loves. Gather around my dear listeners...its time for another story.   Welcome to Episode 96 - The Dark Side of Disney - The Tales Behind the Fairytales, Part 3   We got merch!  Shop now: HorrifyingHist1.redbubble.com www.horrifyinghistory.podbean.com Support our show at https://www.patreon.com/horrifyinghistory   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/horrifyinghistory Instagram: https://instagram.com/horrifying_history Twitter: https://twitter.com/horrifyinghist1   Horrifying History would like to thank the following sponsors for this episode: Hometown History Podcast: If you want to hear the forgotten stories from small towns that will keep you on the edge of your seat - this show is for you.  You can find Hometown History whenever you listen to your favourite shows or on their website www.itshometownhistory.com Fowl Play Podcast: This true crime podcast investigates unsolved cases, and when the investigation is complete they give all findings to those who are actively trying to solve the case in real time.  You can find Foul Play Podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts, or at their website www.itsfoulplay.com Witful: This calendar based organizational tool is built for busy people like you and me.  It intuitively connects the people, meetings, tasks, and notes that you need to make your day seamless.To learn more go to www.witful.com    Horrifying History is part of the Darkcast Network.  Check out their other amazing podcasts at www.darkcastnetwork.wixsite.com           

In today’s society, many serial killers are thought about as terrifying monsters.  Many try to dissect a serial killer’s actions to attempt to figure out why they did what they did.  The thing that is terrifying though is the fact that many serial killers were never caught.  It is horrifying to think that these people may be still out there, and could still be active.  What if they are someone we know?     As a heads up my dear listeners, today we will be talking about graphic murder scenes for both adults and children.  We also will be speaking about assault, murder, graphic crime scenes, and sexual assault.  Listener discretion is advised.   Welcome to Episode 95 - Serial Killers Who Were Never Caught   We got merch!  Shop now: HorrifyingHist1.redbubble.com www.horrifyinghistory.podbean.com Support our show at https://www.patreon.com/horrifyinghistory   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/horrifyinghistory Instagram: https://instagram.com/horrifying_history Twitter: https://twitter.com/horrifyinghist1   Horrifying History would like to thank the following sponsors for this episode: Hometown History Podcast: If you want to hear the forgotten stories from small towns that will keep you on the edge of your seat - this show is for you.  You can find Hometown History whenever you listen to your favourite shows or on their website www.itshometownhistory.com Fowl Play Podcast: This true crime podcast investigates unsolved cases, and when the investigation is complete they give all findings to those who are actively trying to solve the case in real time.  You can find Foul Play Podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts, or at their website www.itsfoulplay.com Witful: This calendar based organizational tool is built for busy people like you and me.  It intuitively connects the people, meetings, tasks, and notes that you need to make your day seamless.To learn more go to www.witful.com    Horrifying History is part of the Darkcast Network.  Check out their other amazing podcasts at www.darkcastnetwork.wixsite.com

When the circus comes to town; many get very excited.  Circus’s are advertised as “fun for all ages”, and provide entertainment that you wouldn’t normally see.  But in the case of a circus that went to Toronto in 1855 - it was not fun.  In fact, it resulted in the start of changing the political structure of the city itself.   Welcome to Bonus Episode 26 - The Toronto Circus Riot.

I am quite often asked what I think the most haunted place is.  Many guess it is a cemetery, but that’s not what I think.  Ghosts are said to appear in a location due to emotion…they were happy there or perhaps they died there.  The thing is that both of these do not always apply to a cemetery, but they do apply to hospitals.  Many people take their last breaths in a hospital, and because of that I believe that these places are some of the most haunted places around.   Welcome to Episode 93 - Haunted Hospitals   We got merch!  Shop now: HorrifyingHist1.redbubble.com www.horrifyinghistory.podbean.com Support our show at https://www.patreon.com/horrifyinghistory   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/horrifyinghistory Instagram: https://instagram.com/horrifying_history Twitter: https://twitter.com/horrifyinghist1   Horrifying History would like to thank the following sponsors for this episode: How to See a Man About a Dog, Collective Writings by Samuel Knox: You can get your copy of this collection of short stories and pulp fiction prose on Amazon, Kindle, or Kindle Unlimited.

There are some true crime cases that when you hear about them - you don’t forget them.  They are just that horrible.  To me, I can’t even wrap my head around how people can do some of the things they do.  Even worse is how they think they could get away with it. A heads up here my dear listeners; today we are talking about two very bad murder cases.  We also will be talking about various types of abuses, animal abuse, cannibalism, and graphic crime scenes.  Listener discretion is advised.     Welcome to Episode 92 - Murder Cases that will Keep You Up at Night We got merch!  Shop now: HorrifyingHist1.redbubble.com www.horrifyinghistory.podbean.com Support our show at https://www.patreon.com/horrifyinghistory   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/horrifyinghistory Instagram: https://instagram.com/horrifying_history Twitter: https://twitter.com/horrifyinghist1   Horrifying History would like to thank the following sponsors for this episode:  How to See a Man About a Dog, Collective Writings by Samuel Knox: You can get your copy of this collection of short stories and pulp fiction prose on Amazon, Kindle, or Kindle Unlimited.

In today’s news it seems that every day there is a new story about climate change.  Global warming has been scientifically proven to be altering our planets weather patterns, which results in some terrifying weather events.  A great example of this happened in British Columbia in Canada in late 2021.  They received a month’s worth of rain over two days leaving the area flooded.  Thousands of people were stranded, and infrastructure was damaged.  Entire communities were evacuated, and roads were washed out.  The food supply chain was disrupted which affected several provinces.  But just like others who have suffered from severe weather events, people always somehow find a way to continue on. But there are some weather events that can’t be explained by global warming.  In fact, there are some that are thought to be more supernatural than environmental.     Welcome to Episode 91 - Horrifying Historical Weather Events   We got merch!  Shop now: HorrifyingHist1.redbubble.com www.horrifyinghistory.podbean.com Support our show at https://www.patreon.com/horrifyinghistory   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/horrifyinghistory Instagram: https://instagram.com/horrifying_history Twitter: https://twitter.com/horrifyinghist1   Horrifying History would like to thank the following sponsors for this episode: Historic Mail:  They deliver historical letters to history buffs of all ages each week, so subscribers can journey through time with letters that changed the course of history.  To get 10% your subscription's first delivery - go to www.historicmail.com and use promo code HORRORHISTORY at check out.   PodQueue: This is the app to use if you want to save audio from anywhere around the web, and listen to it later in the podcast app you already use.  Try it first with their free 15 day trial, and after that it is only $5 per month.  Use promo code HORRIFYING at signup to get an extra month for free at www.podqueue.fm    Horrifying History is part of the Darkcast Network.  Check out their other amazing podcasts at www.darkcastnetwork.wixsite.com
