Step into the dark history of Elizabeth Bathory, the 17th-century Hungarian countess accused of being history's most prolific female serial killer.

In this week's episode of Greg After Dark, we peel back the layers of myth, political intrigue, and gothic horror to examine the real woman behind the legend of the "Blood Countess."

Was she a sadistic monster who bathed in the blood of virgins to preserve her youth, or was she the victim of a calculated political conspiracy designed to seize her vast lands and wealth?

Join us as we explore the grim reality of Habsburg-era Hungary, the chilling testimonies from her trial, and the enduring urban legends that keep her legacy alive in true crime and dark folklore.

What happens when someone takes on the sins of the dead? In this episode of Greg After Dark, we dive deep into the chilling history and dark folklore of the Sin Eater.

Join us as we explore the medieval ritual where an outcast consumed a ritual meal to absolve a deceased person of their sins, granting them safe passage to the afterlife. We break down the origins of this haunting tradition, the heavy psychological toll carried by those who performed it, and why this morbid folklore still fascinates us today.

Footsteps in the attic, strange keys appearing out of nowhere, and a Bavarian farmstead hiding a dark, century-old secret. In this episode of Greg After Dark, we dive into one of the most chilling and baffling unsolved true crime cases in history: the Hinterkaifek murders of 1922.

Six members of the Gruber family—and their new maid—were brutally slain in a remote German homestead under bizarre and terrifying circumstances. Days after the murders took place, smoke still rose from the chimney, livestock was fed, and someone—or something—was still living in the house.

Join Greg as we unpack:

The eerie premonitions and strange occurrences leading up to the tragedy

The physical evidence (and lack thereof) that left investigators utterly stumped

The leading suspects and dark theories behind who—or what—walked out of the woods that night
