Dark Taboo Stories
Welcome to Dark Taboo Stories, the podcast that ventures into the unknown, the forbidden, and the unsettling corners of the human experience. Each week, we uncover the tales that society shies away from—stories that challenge our perceptions, evoke uncomfortable truths, and leave us questioning everything we thought we knew.
From unsolved mysteries to controversial topics, these are the stories no one talks about—until now.
Dark Taboo Stories isn't for the faint of heart. So, if you're ready to explore the darker side of life, to confront the unspoken, and to embrace the strange, then settle in.
The shadows are waiting... and so are the stories.

After the Lights Come Down
The story that explores the quiet devastation of a marriage that's ended not with drama, but with a slow fade into silence. Sarah's decision to leave is wrenching precisely because there's no villain—just two people who've drifted so far apart they can barely see each other anymore.
The story touches on the ripple effects: Emma, their college-age daughter, who's been watching this slow death and is almost relieved when her mother finally acts; Michael, who loves Sarah in theory but has forgotten how to love her in practice; and even Michael's elderly mother, whose presence during Christmas adds another layer of guilt and obligation.
