Soka, Ibadan: The Forest Beside the Road | Haunted Places and Ghost Stories

Listener Warning: Tonight’s episode covers the Soka Forest case near Ibadan and includes discussion of violent crime, kidnapping, human remains, torture, ritual killings, and disturbing scenes involving victims held captive. Some descriptions may be distressing, so please take care while listening and skip this episode if those subjects are not right for you today.There are certain places that gain a reputation so dark that even years later people still speak of them carefully. Not because they are ancient castles or abandoned asylums, but because something real happened there. Something so disturbing that fact and legend began to merge. Outside the city of Ibadan, beside the busy Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, there was once a stretch of woodland many travellers barely noticed. Cars passed it every day. Buses rolled by in clouds of dust and heat. Motorcycles wove between traffic while roadside life carried on as normal.To most people, it was just another patch of trees.To others, it was somewhere to avoid after dark.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibadan_forest_of_horrorhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/0qehAbFbd46qMgC6xl0rKGThanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on tomorrow.Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.
