Episode 186: Paranoia.com, the Darkest Corner of the Internet

Let's Get Haunted

SKIP TO 00:11:00 TO GET TO THIS WEEK’S STORY!

In 1995, Paranoia.com was a website dedicated to protecting free speech. Among the usual suspects were political leaning government conspiracy pages, pages dedicated to educating visitors about the use of illegal drugs, and anti-censorship arguments; However, the site also featured a dark underbelly of alternative beliefs like cannibalism, terrorism, pedophilia, and human trafficking. In today’s episode, Nat brings Aly all the way back to 1995 to explore the darkest corner of the internet!
