    The Boy King's Shadow Army: Did King Tut Rule With Poison and Daggers?

    Welcome back to the True Assassins Podcast, your daily dose of spine-chilling true crime! Today, we're unearthing a tale of power, intrigue, and silent takedowns from the sands of ancient Egypt! Get ready for a story that rewrites history. They called him "The crippled pharaoh", a sickly boy king manipulated by scheming priests. But Tutankhamun was playing a deadly game of shadows. He knew the "accident" that killed his father was anything but, and he wasn't about to be anyone's puppet. Behind the facade of frailty, Tutankhamun assembled a secret army - not warriors, but assassins hiding in plain sight. A perfumer with deadly concoctions, a scribe whose ink was venom, they eliminated rivals, making each death look like an illness or an unfortunate mishap. The whispers started - was a curse upon the land, or was something far more sinister at play? Tutankhamun's supposed regent, the priest Ay, grew paranoid as his loyalists mysteriously perished. He demanded more taxes, more offerings, his greed blinding him to the true threat. And then, in a stunning display, the boy king cast aside his cane - no miracle, but a calculated act of defiance! He was the ruler, not in name only, but in truth! Did Tutankhamun orchestrate his own rise to power through a web of assassins? Was his reign marked by cunning, not just luck? The scrolls detailing his achievements were purged, but imagine the secrets they held - the names of those who met with "accidents", the true architects of his reign! Join us as we uncover the truth behind the boy king's shadow army, only on True Assassins! This is a public episode.

    BEAST'S GAMBIT

    Welcome back to another spine-chilling episode of TRUE ASSASSINS, your daily dose of TRUE CRIME that'll leave you sleeping with the lights on! Today, we bring you a tale so twisted, so chilling, it'll make your blood run cold. Buckle up, crime junkies, as we unravel BEAST'S GAMBIT! This isn't your average monster hunt. We meet Elias, a legendary monster slayer, a man who's stared death in the face more times than we've had hot dinners. But this time, the game is different. He's not the hunter, he's the hunted.  A demonic beast, with an IQ higher than Einstein on a good day, is turning the tables, making Elias the prey in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Imagine this: traps outsmarted, supplies sabotaged, trails leading to nowhere. Our tough-as-nails hero finds himself dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight. But hold on tight, it gets even creepier. Whispers on the wind, a language older than time itself, start messing with Elias's mind. Is he losing his grip or is this creature messing with him? And then, BAM! The face-off! But this ain't no King Kong situation. This beast is sleek, cunning, and it speaks English! It taunts Elias, mocks his puny attempts to fight back. Silver bullets? Pfft! This thing laughs in the face of danger. Elias, bless his heart, puts up a fight, but this is a battle he can't win. This creature is playing with its food, watching him squirm.  And with a sickening SNAP, Elias's journey comes to a brutal end. But here's the kicker: This wasn't about killing, it was about testing. Elias, the big-shot hunter, failed the test. He was a specimen, deemed unworthy. Talk about an ego check! So, there you have it folks. A chilling reminder that sometimes, the hunter becomes the hunted.  The wilderness holds secrets we can't even begin to understand, and sometimes, those secrets bite back. Hard.

    The Devil's Coin: When a Detective Becomes the Killer!

    Welcome back to True Assassins, the daily podcast that brings you chilling true crime stories that will leave you sleeping with the lights on! Tonight, we explore the unsettling case file of Detective Carter! Buckle up, crime junkies, because tonight's tale is a real head-scratcher! Detective Carter was a hardened investigator - the kind of guy who rolled his eyes at ghost stories and scoffed at psychics. But even he couldn't ignore the string of bizarre murders plaguing his city. Seemingly unconnected victims, each killed in a ritualistic fashion...it was like something out of a horror movie, but very, very real. The thing that really creeped Carter out was the strange silver coin found at each crime scene! It had some weird symbols on it, and even the toughest cops on the force were giving it the side-eye. Carter's no fool, though. He knows there's no such thing as curses, but he can't shake the feeling that this coin is somehow connected to the killings. Carter's gut tells him that this coin isn't just a clue – it's the key to stopping the murders. So, he goes on a wild goose chase, talking to stuffy professors and shady antique collectors, trying to figure out what the heck this coin is and where it came from. He finally finds the coin's origin - a creepy old mansion owned by a reclusive collector with more than a few skeletons in his closet. Let's just say Carter's "visit" didn't involve tea and biscuits.  A fight breaks out, and in a moment of desperation (and maybe a little bit of crazy), Carter smashes the coin to pieces. You'd think that would be the end of it, right? WRONG! The murders do stop, and Carter is hailed as a hero. But...things start to go very, very wrong for him. His luck turns sour, he's plagued by nightmares, and he just can't shake the feeling that he's made a terrible mistake. Then, the ultimate twist! Carter ends up dead, a victim of a random mugging. But guess what's clutched in his hand? Another coin! This time, the symbol is different...and way more sinister. Turns out, Carter didn't destroy the evil, he just set it free. And by meddling with forces he didn't understand, he became the curse's new host! So, dear listeners, lock your doors, check under your beds, and be careful what you wish for – because sometimes, the things that go bump in the night are all too real. Join us next time for another nail-biting episode of True Assassins. Until then, sweet dreams! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit trueassassins.substack.com
