The Morbid History Podcast

Episode 3: Foul Fathers

Fathers are meant to protect. But history remembers the ones who didn’t.
 
In this episode, we descend into the dark legacies of dads who became monsters—locking children in basements, stacking bodies like firewood, and turning holidays into horror scenes. From Fritzl’s underground prison to Simmons’s Christmas killing spree, we explore what happens when fatherhood curdles into control, cruelty, and calculated murder.
 
This isn’t about bad parenting.
It’s about bloodlines soaked in blood.

Morbid Morsel #2

Bodies donated to science.
Trusted hands.
Unthinkable betrayal.
 
Cedric Lodge managed the Harvard Medical School morgue—until investigators uncovered a macabre black market of human remains.
Skulls mailed in bubble wrap.
Tattooed skin turned to leather.
A network of buyers… hungry for the grotesque.
 
This isn’t just true crime. It’s body horror—ripped from reality.

Episode 2: Consumed

Food is supposed to nourish—but history tells a darker tale. In this episode, we bite into the morbid side of food production: poisoned candy, hallucinogenic bread, deadly dinners, and a surgeon who served death at record speed. These are the meals that killed, the ingredients that maimed, and the appetites that cost lives. Bon appétit.

Morbid Morsel #1

In the 1800s, surgery was pain.
The only relief? A surgeon fast enough to beat the scream.
 
Robert Liston was that surgeon.
Until one operation claimed the lives of three.
 
Was it legend… or a horrifying truth?

Episode 1: Prowlers

History’s darkest visitors don’t always come with warning. In this debut episode, we step into the shadows to uncover stories of mysterious intruders—from the Phantom Barber of Pascagoula to the chilling Smiley Face Killer theory and beyond. These are the prowlers who slipped through locked doors, left behind questions, and were never seen again. Lock up, listen close, and prepare for the unease that lingers long after the footsteps fade.
