Disturbing History
The past isn’t always dead. Sometimes, it’s just been buried... and it’s time to dig it up. Disturbing History is a weekly podcast that dives headfirst into the strange, spooky, and little-known stories that history tried to forget. From secret societies and sinister folklore to lost colonies, unsolved mysteries, and events too dark for your high school textbook — this is where the shadowy corners of the past finally get their time in the spotlight. Hosted by author, investigator, and storyteller Brian King-Sharp, each episode is a deep, immersive journey into the stories that disturb us — and the ones we have to disturb to uncover the truth. So if you're drawn to the uncomfortable, obsessed with the unexplained, or just can’t shake the feeling that some things never should’ve been buried… You’re not alone. Follow. Subscribe. Turn on auto-downloads. And get ready to disturb history.
