19 NOV 2024 · In 19th-century India, a chilling name spreads terror across the land: Thug Behram. As the leader of the infamous Thuggee cult, he is said to have orchestrated a reign of murder and mayhem, claiming over 900 lives with his silken noose. His actions, shrouded in secrecy, are driven by a fanatical devotion to the goddess Kali, blurring the line between religious faith and cold-blooded violence.
Through history, myth, and fear, we explore the dark world of Thug Behram, and ask the burning question: was his legend rooted in reality—or was it a tale spun from fear and power?

22 OCT 2024 · On the morning of March 30th, 1922, 63-year-old Andreas Gruber was walking around his rural farmstead when he noticed a set of foot tracks in the fresh snow. These tracks led from the forest and seemed to move towards his family’s farmhouse. Curiously, or perhaps, disturbingly, they didn’t head back out.
Odd things had been happening at his property lately, and this was just the most recent occurrence of many. Little did Andreas Gruber know, in less than 24-hours, he along with his entire family would all be dead.
Today, on Haunted History, we are taking you through one of Germany’s most enduring unsolved murders: the killings at Hinterkaifeck!

8 OCT 2024 · The infamous Fox Sisters from upstate New York whose alleged communication with spirits in 1848 captivated the nation. The rapping sounds in their home were soon hailed as the voices of the dead, sparking a global fascination with the afterlife. But as their fame grew, so did the rumors of deception. What started as innocent wonder soon unraveled into a shocking revelation: the sisters' supernatural encounters were nothing more than clever tricks.
Today we explore the thin line between belief and manipulation, the rise of a spiritual movement, and the lingering question—did the Fox Sisters fool the world, or did they believe their ghostly tales?
