    Supernatural Hysteria and Superstition

    Supernatural Hysteria and Superstition

    In the latest episode of Blood on the Rocks, I talk about some supernatural happenings in Southeast Asia.  Beginning with a large scale haunting which affected multiple schools, closing one of them for days, and then some other examples of supernatural mass hysteria in Southeast Asia. Finishing up, two stories of possessions by a phi pop, and one story that highlights the effect that superstitious rumours can have on people if used maliciously.

    Massacre Gone Away

    Massacre Gone Away

    In the latest episode of Blood on the Rocks, I talk about the 1871 Chinese Massacre in Los Angeles, California, USA where rising tensions caused by media and socioeconomic events led to the lynching of 17-20 Chinese men in the Calle de los Negros of the frontier town, Los Angeles. With 500 members of the mob and hundreds of witnesses, nobody was punished, and the massacre was hidden away.

Well Done

The podcast is well made and topics are presented nicely.

Dear Blood On The Rocks,

(The below review was written and posted in early 2020 - but somehow ended up being posted to a completely different podcast. By a bizarre turn of fate, I spotted the mistake at this other show so I’m fixing things now - so I will leave the review as it was, in its original form.)

It has now been nearly two years since your last posted episode. As you can see, all but one of the rave 5-Star reviews came from THIS year, 2020, which speaks to the quality of your program. Not to mention its ability to attract new listeners even while inactive. This is simply because Blood On The Rocks is so wickedly GOOD.

The episode subject matter varies wildly, which keeps people coming back to check out what the next ones are about - and the discussion narratives are so well done that they keep people listening in as well. It’s those two points ALONE that made me write all this - and to ask: isn’t it about time you thought about coming back ?? Obviously I’ve no idea what personal reasons there might be for the Nov. 2018 swan song, but if it’s at all possible - I know your fans will welcome you back with warm hearts and pressed “Subscribe” buttons ~ but a big thank-you to you all, regardless... and I pray that whatever the reason was that you left in November’18, that good things came to you right afterwards: in December’18.
Best wishes, peace and love to all of you.

Horrible voice

I’d love to listen to this if you’d get a better narrator.
