About this episode

This episode explores the supernatural legends and omens surrounding the Battle of Hastings and its historical significance.

In this episode of Cryptid Warfare Podcast, we dive into one of the most important battles in human history — The Battle of Hastings (1066) — where William the Conqueror faced off against King Harold II in a brutal fight that would reshape England forever. But was this battle decided by strategy alone… or was something darker at work? We explore the eerie legends and paranormal events surrounding this time period, including Halley’s Comet, believed to be a supernatural warning of death and conquest. We break down the medieval belief that the war was more than political — it was spiritual warfare, filled with curses, divine judgment, and terrifying omens. From rumors of ghost warriors still marching across the battlefield… to England’s infamous black hellhounds said to appear before death and destruction… this episode uncovers the chilling supernatural side of the battle that launched medieval Europe into a new era. History, horror, and legend collide in a war where even the sky may have predicted the outcome.
