Dark Topic
Host Jack Luna covers the worlds darkest stories, while holding you close in an itchy blanket.
102 • The Long Man

The Long Man, Sir Douglas Mawson, and his improbable survival story through a widely uncharted territory in the early 20th century. Antarctica. A mysterious, unruly, frozen goatee on the chin of the planet. An area we dared not comb through until the face of the earth was sufficiently covered.
Subscribe to Marooned. A new podcast from Jack Luna of Dark Topic and Aaron Habel of Generation Why, exploring tales of the catastrophically lost.

That’s what they called it. Cheri’s Ghost House. And whether the little girl haunted it or not… the idea that her spirit could be tortured within was enough for her elderly parents to buy the place in 2020.. and demolish it.

When a frozen head is found on a park bench in the middle of summer, people start asking questions... but not everybody likes the answers.

When authorities rescue a man on the outskirts of a remote Colorado town from a snowdrift in 1982, little did they know that they were saving a monster whose secret would not be revealed for 40...

Welcome to The Sunshine Place

Once called “the miracle on the beach,” Synanon began in the 1960s as an experimental rehab facility in Santa Monica, California with a radical claim: It could cure heroin addiction. Before long, it would make an even bolder claim: It could cure any of your problems. All you had to do was move in. What started in a house on the beach, soon spread to compounds across the country. The man who made the miracle happen, Charles E. Dederich, aka “Chuck,” would be the one to destroy it all, along with the lives of many of his followers and millions...
