Here, we unravel the darkest corners of the human experience—exploring unsolved mysteries, true crime, paranormal encounters, and tales of the occult. Obscurata dares you to question the boundaries of what we believe to be true… and what we fear may be lurking in the dark.


Each episode delves into mysterious events, blending atmospheric storytelling with a touch of the unexplainable. Whether it’s an intriguing crime, a ghostly legend, or strange phenomenon, we uncover the stories that refuse to be silenced—because some have no ending.

    Jun 25 2025
    On Valentine’s Day, 1945, the peaceful village of Lower Quinton in Warwickshire was shaken by one of Britain’s most brutal and mysterious murders. Charles Walton, a 74-year-old farm labourer, was found gruesomely slain near Meon Hill—his body pinned to the ground with a pitchfork, his throat slashed by his own billhook. What at first seemed like a horrific act of violence soon spiralled into something stranger. With ritualistic overtones, missing charms, and a long history of folklore surrounding Meon Hill, whispers of witchcraft emerged almost immediately. Scotland Yard’s top detectives were baffled. Was this a crime of superstition and fear—a modern-day witch killing? Or something more calculated and mundane disguised in ritual?.SURVEYObscurata Discussed FACEBOOK GROUPThe BOOKBY US A COFFEESubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITESource Information:http://www.stratford-herald.com/news/witchcraft-and-murder-on-meon-hill-9223403/http://www.crimemagazine.com/last-witch-killing-united-kingdom-murder-charles-walton-1945-0https://www.vice.com/en/article/charles-walton-murder-victim/https://medium.com/@anncarney51/a-murder-on-valentines-day-f1088bde52c6http://the-history-girls.blogspot.com/2012/02/meon-hill-valentines-day-death-celia.htmlhttp://www.whitedragon.org.uk/articles/charles.htmThanks so much for listening, and I'll catch up with you again next Thursday.Sarah & Rog xxSURVEY https://podcastsurvey.typeform.com/to/mDi5IVFf Hosted on Acast.

  • Part 2 of 2 The Villisca Axe Murders | Unsolved Family Slaughter & the Haunting of 508 East 2nd Street

    Part 2 of 2 The Villisca Axe Murders | Unsolved Family Slaughter & the Haunting of 508 East 2nd Street
    Jun 18 2025

    In the quiet town of Villisca, Iowa, 1912, eight people—two adults and six children—were bludgeoned to death in their sleep with an axe. Over a century later, the crime remains unsolved. Who murdered the Moore family and the visiting Stillinger sisters that night? Was it a jealous businessman? A deranged travelling preacher? Or a serial killer moving from town to town by train?
