The Real Witches of Romania

Horror Stories
About this episode
Witches paying taxes. Curses that make headlines. Haunted mountains and rituals that still shape lives in 2025. In this episode, we journey deep into Romania’s Carpathian Mountains—a place where folklore, fear, and real-world consequences collide. These aren’t fairy tales. This is modern witchcraft, spiritual warfare, and a haunting cultural history that refuses to die.
