Robert Black: The Midnight Hunter – UK’s Vanishing Girls & the Man in the Shadows

In this haunting episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale pulls back the curtain on one of the most terrifying child predators in British history — Robert Black. Through an immersive historical narrative and cinematic storytelling, we follow Black from his bleak childhood in post-war Scotland to his chilling years as a roaming delivery driver who used his van as a vessel of horror. With a nation still reeling from the aftermath of World War II and struggling to find its footing, communities were unprepared for the quiet terror Black would unleash. Between the 1980s and early 1990s, a series of unsolved abductions and murders of young girls struck fear into the hearts of millions — but the man behind them remained hidden in plain sight. This isn’t just true crime. It’s a spine-tingling journey into post-war trauma, failing institutions, and the psychology of a predator cloaked in normalcy. Featuring vivid detail, period context, and chilling forensic analysis, Damien Vale reconstructs the crimes, the investigation, and the eventual capture that stunned the world. Among Monsters is not just about murder. It’s about what happens when evil wears the face of the ordinary — and why we must never stop looking over our shoulder.
