    Mercy Killings or Murder? The Disturbing Case of the Hospital Orderly Who Played God

    Donald Harvey, known as the "Angel of Death," was arguably the most prolific serial killer in United States history, committing murders at hospitals just three hours away from our location. His killing spree began at Marymount Hospital in London, Kentucky, where he worked as an orderly. This episode explores not just the horrors Harvey committed, but the systemic failures that allowed him to continue killing for so long. How many lives could have been saved if someone had just listened to that drunk man confessing to murder back in 1971? What happens when institutions prioritize reputation over patient safety? Dive into this disturbing true crime story with us, and remember—sometimes the most dangerous people can be the ones wearing hospital scrubs or white coats.

Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, these stories tap into primal fears about identity theft in its most literal form. Can you truly trust what you see?

    Claws in the Night: An Internet Monster Comes to Life

    Send us a text Welcome back to Drunken Darkness as we kick off Season 3 with a deep dive into one of the internet's most chilling collaborative horror creations. "The Rake" emerged from the digital shadows of 4chan's /b/ board, where users contributed physical details and behavioral patterns to craft a monster that would eventually crawl its way into nightmares worldwide.The most haunting aspect of this entity? Its tendency to silently observe sleeping victims before attacking, creating nightmares and, according to the lore, eventually murdering those who acknowledge its presence. We examine the most famous Rake encounter story—a tragic tale involving a mother who discovers the creature has attacked her daughter, followed by devastating consequences for her family.Whether you're a longtime creepypasta enthusiast or new to internet folklore, this episode offers both chills and thoughtful analysis of how modern horror legends are born and spread.  Don't miss our upcoming live appearance at the Carter County Bigfoot Festival in Olive Hill, Kentucky on September 13th, where we'll continue exploring the creatures that lurk at the edges of our reality.
