Oradour-sur-Glane - The Village That Time Forgot

About this episode

The episode explores the haunting history of Oradour-sur-Glane, a village in France that remains a preserved monument to a horrific massacre during World War II.

In the heart of rural France stands a village frozen in time—not by choice, but by horror. On June 10th, 1944, Nazi SS troops entered the quiet commune of Oradour-sur-Glane and committed one of World War II's most brutal massacres. 642 people—men, women, and children—were murdered in a single afternoon. But here's what makes it different from countless other wartime atrocities: the village was never rebuilt. It stands today exactly as it was left in 1944, a preserved monument to suffering where rusted cars still sit in driveways, bullet holes still mark the walls, and some say the victims never truly left. This is Oradour-sur-Glane—where the screams still echo through streets that will never know life again. #hauntedplaces #france #worldwar2 #massacre #oradoursurglane #truestory #hauntedvillage #paranormal #ghoststories #horror #destinationterror #eeriecast EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://www.carman-carrion.com/ Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror…
