Trapped in total darkness. No sound, no escape—just the slow breakdown of your body and mind. In this chilling episode of The Dark History Podcast, we descend into the terrifying world of the oubliette, one of the most inhumane torture devices ever devised. Used across medieval Europe, these hidden pits were built to erase people completely—no trial, no grave, no memory. Just a sealed trapdoor and silence. 

Join host Rob as he explores the origins of the oubliette, the castles that hid them, and the horrifying experiences of those thrown inside. From secret executions in France to political disappearances in England and Ireland, we uncover real stories of the forgotten—victims driven to madness in underground tombs barely wide enough to sit in. And while these torture chambers may seem like relics of the past, we’ll ask a disturbing question: have oubliettes truly disappeared, or have they just evolved? 

Grim, immersive, and unforgettable—this episode will haunt you. Don’t listen alone.
