In 1801, two men were stationed at a remote wooden lighthouse off the coast of Wales. Trapped for weeks by violent storms, one suddenly died—leaving the other completely alone inside the tower… with a corpse.

What followed was so disturbing, it changed maritime law forever.

Was this the true account of the Smalls Lighthouse Tragedy—or a distorted story meant to unsettle you? You decide.

Tales from the Blur explores the strange, the disturbing, and the almost unbelievable. Some stories are fact, others are fiction… and it’s up to you to tell the difference.

In the early 1970s, what was supposed to be a simple psychology study spiraled into something much darker. Students became guards, others became prisoners, and within days the line between roleplay and reality shattered. Hidden in the basement was a room few dared to enter — a place that seemed to swallow people whole.

Was it just the pressure of the experiment breaking them down… or was there something else inside those walls?

This week on Tales from the Blur, we explore one of the most disturbing experiments ever conducted — and the haunting mystery that refuses to die. Your job is simple...determine if this is based on factual events or if it was completely fabricated. The answer will be revealed at the beginning of next week's episode.
