About this listen

The Dark Room Files is a documentary-style horror podcast that explores real cases, disturbing legends, and unexplained events that lurk in the shadows of history. Each episode opens a new file—forgotten crimes, paranormal encounters, urban legends, and true stories so unsettling they refuse to stay buried.
The podcast reconstructs these events as if you were stepping directly into the room where they happened.

No sensationalism.
No cheap scares.

Only documented fear, chilling details, and stories that echo long after the lights go out. Enter the dark room.
Some files were never meant to be opened.Copyright Jose Rios
