  • Maxim Furek you are fake…yikes!

    Your regurgitation of every bad book and movie on the demonic is a joke. OMG you dislike the Warrens yet everything out of your mouth is verbatim from all of their work. There IS NOT an exorcist at every parish. Any priest can come by and bless your home. That is vastly different than calling in an exorcist. One cannot just splash themselves with holy water and a crucifix and be protected. I get tired of “experts” who make mockery of my Catholic faith.

  • Frustrated

    I used to enjoy this show and I still do enjoy the new episodes but they very frequently post old episodes on both missing and crawlspace and don’t usually inform you if the episode is old so I find myself halfway through an episode realizing I already listened to this episode months ago. I get very annoyed that I wasted my time. I might stop listening to both shows because I don’t want to waste my time and feel a little like I’m being tricked into listening to an episode more than once maybe fo... more

  • Fake callers

    Apparently this show changed its format recently,..they now take “callers” to share their stories..fine,..but it’s obvious the callers are scripted..I say obviously, but perhaps some people could be fooled into thinking it’s real,..but if you listen with a critical ear, you quickly realize that the back and forth is too smooth and it just doesn’t fly..
