On this week’s DragonKing Dark podcast, host Karl Stern takes a look at an episode of the television docuseries “Paranormal Survivor.” This episode takes a look at a haunted house (one of my favorite topics), a haunted car and other haunted objects, and much more. We venture into the realm of ghosts and demonic activity. 

One of the most popular pop culture monsters of the 1970s was the Loch Ness Monster, a supposed displaced dinosaur or sea creature in a deep Scottish lake. Nessy even made it into a song by The Police and the movie Napoleon Dynamite. While the “monster” might seem like a plausible thing that could exist, it…

This week on DragonKing Dark, I take a look back at a 1996 documentary from the ‘In Search of History…’ on the origins of Dracula.

We continue our march toward episode 200 as Karl and DragonKing Dark stop in Maryland to check out the strange, weird, odd, and unusual. I had the privilege of going to Maryland a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. On episode 197 of DragonKing Dark, we take a look at odd graves, strange museums, and…

This show went off the rails, I can not lie. When you think of strange, odd, and weird places, Louisiana probably comes to mind because of New Orleans and its association with Voodoo and Vampires. Well…most of your travel destination websites seem to grasp that and little else. They also apparently believe that Louisiana is…
