THE DOLL, THE DEAD, AND THE DAMNED: True Horror Stories More Freaky Than Fiction! #WeirdDarkness

From Alexander the Great being buried alive to one man paying to watch a little girl be cannibalized, some real-life horror stories are too horrifying even for “Rated R” Hollywood. Stories in this episode are more graphic than what you usually hear from me – so listener discretion is advised, and I’d make sure the children are well out of earshot.
