In this special collaborative episode, Dark History teams up with Ireland Crimes and Mysteries to bring you an in-depth exploration of one of the most transformative and tumultuous chapters in Irish and British history—the Irish War of Independence and the complex legacy of Michael Collins. Hosted by Rob from Dark History and Nules from Ireland Crimes and Mysteries, this episode blends unique perspectives and rich storytelling to unpack the conflict that reshaped a nation.

Nules brings an authentic Irish perspective, weaving in stories of heroism, betrayal, and the cultural impact of the struggle, while Rob provides insights from the British side, highlighting the challenges and miscalculations that fueled the war.

👻🎃👻 Halloween Special 👻🎃👻

In this chilling episode, we dive deep into the foggy backstreets of Victorian London to explore the fate of the most infamous serial killer in history: Jack the Ripper. What happened to him after those grisly murders? Was he a cunning aristocrat moving unseen among the poor? Or an unassuming working man, slipping through Whitechapel undetected? We sift through compelling theories – from Charles Cross’s suspicious presence at crime scenes to the idea that Jack could have been a butcher or barber, blending in while covered in blood.

Unearth the eerie truth behind unreliable media coverage, secretive Ripper files lost during the Blitz, and older, often overlooked murders that might bear his brutal signature. We'll also uncover the trades of barbers in this dark era, exploring how they wielded tools that could have easily doubled as instruments of horror. Was Jack simply an invisible figure, hiding in plain sight?

Prepare for a journey through London's most sinister streets as we piece together the clues surrounding the Ripper’s vanishing act.
