About this listen

History is stranger than fiction — and every generation leaves behind stories that defy explanation.

Hosted by Ben Carter, Weird History Podcast dives into the odd, the absurd, and the unbelievable moments that shaped our past. From strange inventions and forgotten beliefs to mysterious deaths, hoaxes, cults, and the world’s most unusual historical coincidences — every episode reveals just how weird humanity has always been.

We don’t exaggerate the strange — we uncover it.
Because the truth doesn’t need to be sensational when it’s already this bizarre.

    History is filled with unsettling discoveries that refuse to stay buried. In this episode of Weird History Podcast, we uncover three of the strangest and most disturbing mysteries ever recorded. The journey begins in London, where a human skeleton was found seated upright inside an ancient wall, raising chilling questions about punishment, ritual, and forgotten justice. We then travel further back in time to examine the hidden history of the world’s first known serial killer, whose crimes were recorded centuries before modern criminology existed. Who was this individual, and why did their story nearly vanish from historical memory? Finally, we enter the classified world of Cold War intelligence to explore the Central Intelligence Agency’s controversial L.S.D. mind control experiments. Marketed as a path to higher consciousness and even immortality, these secret programs blurred the line between science, obsession, and human experimentation. Three mysteries. One episode. And a disturbing reminder that history is often stranger, darker, and more unsettling than fiction.
