About the episode

Doom Unleashed – Timur’s Cursed Tomb & the Man-Eating Lions of Tsavo Some legends are just old stories… and then some prove themselves terrifyingly real. In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Jethro and Kat unravel the eerie curse of Timur’s Tomb, a chilling prophecy that may have ignited one of the deadliest conflicts in history. Did disturbing the warlord’s grave actually unleash a catastrophe—or was it just a spine-tingling coincidence? Then, we journey to the dark heart of Africa for the true story behind The Ghost and the Darkness—a pair of bloodthirsty lions that turned a railway project into an all-you-can-eat buffet (for them). What drove these fearsome beasts to hunt humans? And just how many unfortunate souls ended up on the menu? Graves, curses, and ravenous apex predators—just another day at the office for Box of Oddities.
