Food is supposed to nourish—but history tells a darker tale. In this episode, we bite into the morbid side of food production: poisoned candy, hallucinogenic bread, deadly dinners, and a surgeon who served death at record speed. These are the meals that killed, the ingredients that maimed, and the appetites that cost lives. Bon appétit.

In the 1800s, surgery was pain.

The only relief? A surgeon fast enough to beat the scream.

Robert Liston was that surgeon.

Until one operation claimed the lives of three.

Was it legend… or a horrifying truth?

History’s darkest visitors don’t always come with warning. In this debut episode, we step into the shadows to uncover stories of mysterious intruders—from the Phantom Barber of Pascagoula to the chilling Smiley Face Killer theory and beyond. These are the prowlers who slipped through locked doors, left behind questions, and were never seen again. Lock up, listen close, and prepare for the unease that lingers long after the footsteps fade.
