Welcome, dear listeners, to Whispers in the Dark—where shadows tell stories, and the night breathes secrets. I’m your guide through the unknown, your storyteller in the silence, weaving tales that will haunt your thoughts long after the last word fades. Here, we embrace the eerie, the unsettling, the stories that lurk just beyond the edge of the firelight. So settle in, dim the lights… and listen closely. The darkness has something to say.
The ninth grisly tale from Whispers In The Dark Podcast is nearly here... and it's one that will haunt you long after the final whisper fades.
‘The Legions Curse’
When Dr. Eleanor Hughes leads an excavation in the quiet fields of Lincolnshire, she’s chasing history—not ghosts. Her team uncovers the remains of a Roman soldier beneath Ermine Street, complete with rusted armour and a gladius etched with a name thought lost to legend: Marcus Severus – Legio IX Hispana. The Ninth Legion—missing, presumed destroyed—was never supposed to be found.
That night, the wind dies.
Then come the whispers.
The first body is found the next morning—no wounds, just a frozen scream and soil in the mouth.
As fear spreads through the dig site, team members flee, vanish… or worse. Eleanor stays, drawn to something buried deeper than bones. Something waiting. Watching.
Visions plague her—ancient rituals, burning forts, eyes glowing red in the dark. The trench begins to change. The forest closes in. And at night, the ground pulses with unseen footsteps.
They say the Ninth vanished.
But legends lie.
Some things aren’t lost—they’re sealed.
And some doors, once opened, refuse to close.
Now Eleanor must face the truth:
She didn’t discover the past.
She disturbed it.
