Send us a text. Thank you for your messages I really appreciate it 😁 Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. In episode 11 I’m going to talk about some that I alluded to way back in the first episode and that is Germany in Africa and the genocide of the nama and herero people, now if you’ve listen to the episode you will have heard about some of the imperialism in Africa by European power and if not then maybe go a listen to that first as I will be skimming certain points that I have spoken about previously like the Berlin conference and the scramble for Africa, yes that was a shameless plug. Now I know the title will drum up visions of the Holocaust or ww2 and believe topics of that scale will come up on this channel in the future, but I would like to talk about Germanys exploits in Africa and yes kettle calling the pot burnt arse a British man on his soap box about Germans killing people when Britain were the worst for it, the hypocrisy isn’t lost on me and again I will talk all about that in future episodes but this story up to a few years ago was never acknowledged by Germany and it sort of had an air of obscurity around it. This listen could be distressing to some people so please listen with caution there are description of death, mutilation, rape and racism so with out further ado sit back and relax for more dark history.

The protocol can be established by the norms, expectations, and advertised virtues of each method or by the government’s officially adopted execution guidelines. Botched executions are 'those involving unanticipated problems or delays that caused, at least arguably, unnecessary agony for the prisoner or that reflect gross incompetence of the executioner.'Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. For episode 22, we’re going to look at some of history's botched executions. We will look at 3 individual cases through out history and hopefully you enjoy. Listeners' discretion is advised for this one as the descriptions are quite graphic. 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 😁 King Leopold II ruled over Belgium from 1865 to 1909. Today, the memory of his reign still lives on, and he is glorified with golden statues of his likeness in every major city in Belgium. In history classes, each generation is taught that he was a humanitarian who brought Christianity and the wonders of civilization to The Congo Free State. However, the truth has been kept away from the Belgian people. The reality is that King Leopold II is responsible for the murder and mutilation of 10 million Congolese people. This just may be the biggest cover-up in European history.Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. For episode 21 as you may have guessed is the dark biography of king Leopold the 2nd of Belgium we’ve not looked at an evil person for a while so I though who better to do then the person I spoke briefly about way back in episode one. now I will warn you this will get dark and there will be descriptions of death and mutilation in this episode, but if your a long time listener you know that pretty much all we talk about here . so without further ado please sit back and relax for more dark history.

In England and other nations across Europe there were trials and executions of suspected witches, Hundreds died in England as a result. Perhaps the most notorious witch trial of the 17th century, the legend of the Pendle witches is one of the many dark tales of imprisonment and execution at Lancaster Castle. just over three centuries saw witch trials held in England but fewer than 500 people were executed for this crime. This one series of trials in the summer of 1612 therefore accounts for 2% of all witches executed.Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. For episode 20 and the Halloween special we're going to look at something that happened a mere 40 miles from my house and that it the pendle witch trials.

Thank you for your messages I really appreciate it 😁 In the United States National Park System alone there are more than 84 million acres (35 million hectares) of preserved woods, deserts, mountains and other wilderness, so it's no surprise that in the past 100 years there have been a number of cases of hikers going missing. Many of those who vanished were young children and inexperienced hikers, but some were healthy and seasoned outdoorspeople. But is there more to these disappearances than just kids wandering off, or hikers becoming disoriented?Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always. For episode 19, we're going to look at some of the stranger cases of missing people in American national parks, some of these are anomalously mind-bending and I'm excited to share them.

On its voyage to the port of Leith from Philadelphia, the Archtor passed the lighthouse on the Flannan Isles on the night of the 15th of December 1900 and the crew saw that its light was off. After docking in Leith three days later, the news was passed on to the Northern Lighthouse Board that something was amiss on Flannan. The question of what happened to the lighthouse keepers would become one of Scotland’s most intriguing mysteries.Hi everyone and welcome back to the dark history podcast hope everyone is well I’m Rob your host as always.
