from Weird Darkness: Paranormal & True Crime Stories · host Darren Marlar | Weird Darkness | Full-Time Voice Actor

Every second Monday at midnight, a blood-faced ghost walks the ruins of Rollesby Hall — but whose blood stains his face, and whose death keeps him there, depends on who you ask.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: One of the most intriguing Hopi legends involves the ant people, who were crucial to the Hopi’s survival, not just once, but twice. We know this from the cave drawings they left behind. But who or what exactly were the ant people? (The Ant People and the Anunnaki) *** The red-faced ghost of Rollesby comes with an an identity crisis. People aren’t sure if the bloody face they see is the ghost of a murderer - or a victim of murder. (The Red-Faced Ghost of Rollesby) *** A woman is scared senseless when someone visits her home during a rainstorm… but it’s not just any passerby. (The Faceless Girl In The Striped Dress) *** One thing people just cannot seem to resist is a challenge – doubly so if you happen to be of the criminal persuasion. If they’re told a place is impregnable, it makes it an almost irresistible challenge. (Never Say Your Place Is Impregnable) *** Joachim Kroll, the "Ruhr Cannibal," terrorized West Germany for over 20 years, eating the flesh of his victims because "meat was expensive." (The Duisburg Man Eater) *** It is said that the Vatican is holding manuscripts that hold details about ancient races of man that used to populate the Americas – powerful rulers from the south, described as having white beards, and red eyes. Who could these people have been – and where have they gone? (The Mystery of the Ancient White-Bearded Red-Eyed Rulers) *** We all know the Nazis inflicted terror and death upon innocent people during WWII – but many don’t know just how horrifying the treatment was, particular the experiments they conducted on living prisoners.
