  • I Love This But...

    Yeah, the ads are super loud and surprising, one time it surprised me so much that I messed up my drawing 😭. And the stories are not that scary, but I still do love them, even though most of them are so not scary :)

  • Love the stories

    I love the stories and the way they’re told. The narration really makes the creepy moments stand out. Sometimes the ads can be a little annoying, but you get used to them and they don’t take away from how good the podcast is.

  • A real voice, not AI

    This channel is one of just a handful that I still listen to regularly because it’s a real person’s voice, and the stories are genuinely creepy. In this day and age of AI and fake accounts, I cherish the people that take the time to narrate good stories. Definite five stars from me.

  • Great Voice

    I love this podcast. Started following in 2019 on a different platform, but platform became unavailable. Started listening on here, but from the beginning. Stories are better the second time around. The showers are still my favorite although i think my grandfather is a serial killer is my second and The kin is my third.
