  • The Literary Miracles of Patience Worth

    The Literary Miracles of Patience Worth
    Jun 21 2026
    In July 1913, a disillusioned St. Louis housewife named Pearl Curran sat down at a Ouija board, looking for a simple distraction. Instead, the pointer began to spell out a chillingly poetic message: "Many moons ago I lived. Again I come. Patience Worth is my name." What followed over the next several years would completely stun the global literary community, psychological experts, and psychical researchers alike. ​In this captivating episode of The Dark Show Horror, your host Ben Comore uncovers the unsettling Horror History behind The Literary Miracles of Patience Worth. We investigate how an ordinary woman with no higher education or literary training suddenly began channeling millions of words of critically acclaimed poetry, complex historical novels, and biting epigrams—all written in an archaic, dead dialect of English. Was Pearl Curran tapping into a brilliant, fractured sub-personality, or was a genuine 17th-century spirit using her hands to write from beyond the grave? ​Inside This Episode:
    • ​The First Contact: The quiet evening in 1913 when the entity known as Patience Worth first broke through the veil.
    • ​The Creative Torrent: A look at the sheer scale of the literary works produced at lightning speed under strict scientific observation.
    • ​The Linguistic Enigma: How the channeled texts used an astonishingly precise, archaic vocabulary that Pearl Curran could not have known.
    • ​The Unsolved Mystery: Examining the theories of top psychologists and skeptics who tried, and failed, to expose the phenomenon as a simple hoax.

  • A Boy’s Best Friend is his Mother_ The Horrors of Ed Gein

    A Boy’s Best Friend is his Mother_ The Horrors of Ed Gein
    Jun 20 2026
    ​In the quiet, icy landscape of Plainfield, Wisconsin, during the 1950s, a lonely bachelor lived on a decaying farmstead. To his neighbors, he was eccentric but harmless—a man who helped chop wood and minded his own business. But behind the closed doors of that farmhouse lay a macabre house of horrors that would forever change the American psyche and redefine the meaning of human depravity. ​In this chilling episode of The Dark Show Horror, your host Ben Comore takes a dark journey into the twisted world of A Boy’s Best Friend is his Mother: The Horrors of Ed Gein. We peel back the skin on one of the most infamous true crime cases in Horror History. We examine the deeply toxic, dominant relationship between Ed and his fanatical mother, Augusta, and how her death triggered a psychological collapse that led to grave robbing, murder, and the creation of unspeakable trophies made from human remains. ​Inside This Episode:
    • ​The Mother's Shadow: How Augusta Gein’s extreme religious isolation shaped the fractured mind of her son.
    • ​The Plainfield House of Horrors: A deeply atmospheric, respectful, yet unblinking look at what authorities discovered when they stepped onto the Gein property in November 1957.
    • ​Grave Robbing to Murder: Tracing the dark transition from stealing from the dead to hunting the living, focusing on the disappearances of Mary Hogan and Bernice Worden.
    • ​The Cinematic Legacy: How the real-life nightmares of Ed Gein birthed Hollywood’s greatest monsters, from Norman Bates to Leatherface.

  • Ringcroft of Stocking & The Mackie Poltergeist

    Ringcroft of Stocking & The Mackie Poltergeist
    Jun 19 2026
    ​In the bleak winter of 1695, a humble farmhouse in Rerrick, Scotland, became the target of an unrelenting and demonic siege. It began with stones raining down on the Mackie family from thin air. Within weeks, the entity escalated its violence—moving heavy furniture, starting unexplained fires, physically assaulting the children, and manifesting a disembodied, gravelly voice that openly mocked the local clergy. This wasn't just a haunting; it was a public terror that attracted crowds of witnesses, ministers, and skeptics alike. ​In this bone-chilling episode of The Dark Show Horror, your host Ben Comore digs deep into the gruesome Horror History of Ringcroft of Stocking & The Mackie Poltergeist. We unpack the meticulously recorded 17th-century accounts of a family pushed to the absolute brink of sanity. Who, or what, was the "Gullan" that claimed ownership over the Mackie home? Was this the result of a hidden curse, an outbreak of mass hysteria in a deeply religious community, or a genuine, malevolent entity that left physical scars on the Scottish landscape? ​Inside This Episode:
    • ​The Stone-Throwing Ghost: How the initial, baffling physical manifestations quickly turned into a violent assault on the household.
    • ​The Voice from the Shadows: A look at the terrifying moment the poltergeist began to speak, delivering dark prophecies and blasphemous threats.
    • ​The Failed Exorcisms: How a gathering of five prominent Scottish ministers failed to cleanse the home, resulting in a direct, physical retaliation from the entity.
    • ​The Grimoire of Evidence: Examining A True Relation of an Apparition, the extraordinary eyewitness pamphlet published by Minister Alexander Telfair in 1696.
