Do you love history but also wonder about the stories that are often left out? These are all subjects that are awkward because they involve murder, lies, rape, governments being terrible, betrayals, and everything between. I will present these true stories from history as accurately as possible. I put a lot of time and research into each class to present them accurately. I will also try to list trigger warnings at the beginning of class so students have mental time to prepare for what they will be learning about. Each week will be a new history story. They are listed below by date. “If you are protected from dark things then you have no protection of, knowledge of, or understanding of dark things when they show up," Neil Gaiman This class will Not be a good fit for all students. We will talk about psychological experiments, horrible human beings, terrible people, cannibalism, witches, torture, murder, child abuse, racism, sexism, slavery, and random hauntings. Your child may skip any lesson that you deem to be too dark. Just message me for a refund in advance. I use a lot of video content in this class, however, I spend 6-7 hours each week watching them and narrowing those down for the lesson. Please read the parental warning section prior to enrolling. July 10-14 The Sorceror July 17-21 Rainbow Valley July 24-28 Poveglia Island July 31-August 4 Experiments in Mental Hospitals August 7-11 Indigenous Boarding Schools August 14-18 The Osage Murders “A generation that ignores history has no past- and no future” Robert A Heinlein
Learning Goals
Students will learn real history that is often glossed over or completely ignored.Other Details
Parental Guidance
Warning: This class is meant to be scary. I will go out of my way every week to present scary events from history.
This class is NOT for everyone.
You should be a fan of scary stories, movies, or shows to take this class.
I may use violent or graphic videos. There may be swearing, brief nudity, or dead bodies.
There will 100% be stories that are scary or disturbing.
There will be stories about people who have died.
There will be stories about people who have been killed.
There will be stories about the people doing the killing.
There are stories where people are assaulted, sometimes sexually.
Many of the stories will be psychologically horrifying more than "Boo" horrifying.
There may be cussing.
Stories may have: cannibalism, experiments, child death, diseases, plagues, serial killers, assaults, and more.
Please check the main page to see if you want your child attending specific classes.
I trust parents to know their children the best and judge for themselves. So if you believe this is a good fit for your child but they are outside the age range you may enroll them. If it ends up not being a good fit you can un-enroll at any time. I also give students agency in each class to decide if they need to leave and they absolutely can.
