Something new stirs in the dark... This weekend, The Whispering Woods unveils After Dark, our most haunting tales yet. New Episodes every Saturday and Sunday.


High above the woods of eastern Louisville stands the Pope Lick Trestle, an active railway bridge with a terrifying reputation. For decades, locals have whispered about the Pope Lick Monster - a half-man, half-goat creature said to hypnotize trespassers and lure them to their deaths. The site has claimed numerous lives, each one tangled in the legend’s long shadow.

Obscurata | True Scary, Paranormal, Ghost, Supernatural & Mysterious Stories
THE FALL RIVER MURDERS : The Satanic Cult Killings | 1979–1980 Massachusetts Horror

The following episode explores real events involving sexual violence, ritualistic murder, and graphic descriptions of death linked to the Fall River cult killings of 1979–1980. It also includes references to the Satanic Panic era and the exploitation of vulnerable young women. Some listeners may find the details deeply distressing. Please listen with care.


In the industrial city of Fall River, Massachusetts, the bodies of three young women, Doreen Levesque, Barbara Raposa, and Karen Marsden, were found between 1979 and 1980. What began as routine murder investigations soon spiralled into tales of Satanic rituals, occult sacrifices, and cult leaders ruling the city’s underworld.

THE CHILDRESS CURSE : The Tate Rowland & Terrie Trosper Case | Satanic Panic & Small-Town Horror

The following episode explores real events involving suicide, murder, and the hysteria of the 1980s Satanic Panic. Some listeners may find the details distressing. Please listen with care.


In the summer of 1988, 17-year-old Tate Rowland was found hanging from a tree outside Childress, Texas. What police first called a suicide soon spawned rumours of dark rituals and a hidden cult. Three years later, his sister Terrie Trosper was found dead under equally mysterious circumstances.

THE ATLAS VAMPIRE : Stockholm’s Bloodletting Mystery | True Crime Mysteries

In May 1932, police forced open the door to a small apartment in Stockholm’s Atlas district. Inside lay the body of 32-year-old Lilly Lindeström, a sex worker last seen on Walpurgis Night. She had been bludgeoned to death during a sexual encounter, but the scene held something far stranger: her body had been drained of blood, and a gravy ladle smeared with it lay nearby. Newspapers dubbed the unknown killer the “Atlas Vampire,” and though police interviewed every client and acquaintance they could find, no one was ever charged. Nearly a century later, Lilly’s murder remains Sweden’s most bizarre unsolved case.

VANISHED IN SMOKE : The Sodder Children Mystery | True Crime Stories

On Christmas Eve 1945, the Sodder family home in Fayetteville, West Virginia, went up in flames. George and Jennie Sodder escaped with four of their children, but five more were trapped inside. By morning, the house was reduced to ash — yet no trace of the missing children was ever found. Were they consumed by fire, or taken under the cover of smoke? From vanished bones to cut phone lines, strange late-night calls, and decades of sightings, this case blurs the line between accident and abduction. The Sodder parents never stopped searching, their grief and determination immortalized on a billboard that stood for over 40 years.

Obscurata | True Scary, Paranormal, Ghost, Supernatural & Mysterious Stories
THE HUNGARIAN SUICIDE SONG : Gloomy Sunday | Urban Legends, Cursed Music, True Crime Folklore

In the 1930s, reports began to circulate across Europe of a song so mournful it was said to drive listeners to suicide. From Budapest to London, victims were found with sheet music in their hands, gramophones still spinning the tune, or notes quoting its lyrics. The song was Szomorú Vasárnap – “Gloomy Sunday” – written by struggling Hungarian pianist Rezső Seress after a heartbreak.

Obscurata | True Scary, Paranormal, Ghost, Supernatural & Mysterious Stories
MONSTER OF THE DRUMS : The Vampire of Cinkota | True Crime, Serial Killers, Hungary

In 1916, on the outskirts of Budapest, authorities uncovered a suburban nightmare. Dozens of metal barrels buried around a quiet home contained the pickled corpses of women – victims of Béla Kiss, a tinsmith who charmed, defrauded, and murdered through newspaper ads. Dubbed the “Monster of Cinkota,” Kiss vanished into the chaos of World War I and was never caught. His trail of blood stretched across Europe and, some say, even to New York. Over a century later, his fate remains a chilling mystery.
