In September sixteen sixty-six, a single spark in a Pudding Lane bakery became a firestorm that devoured most of London — thirteen thousand houses, eighty-seven churches, and old St Paul's itself. But the official death toll of "just six" hides a darker truth, and so does the French watchmaker who confessed to a crime he couldn't have committed.

Host August Mercer walks you through the four days that erased medieval London, the Lord Mayor who went back to bed, and the innocent man hanged to calm a terrified mob. This is Six Feet of History — five minutes of the past they'd rather you forget.

Follow for a new story every day. A Dark Whisper Studios production.

On a lonely Tennessee farm, a family begins to hear scratching in the walls, then bedclothes pulled away in the night, then a whispering voice with no body attached to it — a voice that torments them for years, and that the legend says finally killed a man. It is the only haunting in American history accused of murder.

This episode lays out the Bell Witch: the frontier family it tormented, the daughter at the center of it, the disembodied voice that drew crowds, the death of John Bell — and the grounded truth beneath two hundred years of storytelling, from the late book that built the legend to the broken engagement that gives the whole case away.

In nineteen twenty-two, archaeologists break into a tomb sealed for three thousand years and find the golden treasures of a forgotten boy-king. Months later, the man who funded the dig is dead. Then another. Then another. And the world arrives at a thrilling conclusion: the pharaoh is taking his revenge.

This episode digs into the Curse of Tutankhamun: Howard Carter's astonishing discovery, the mosquito bite that killed Lord Carnarvon, the eerie coincidences the press couldn't resist — and the hard evidence that dismantles the whole legend, starting with the man who entered the tomb first and lived for seventeen more years.
