At first, I thought it was just me, but it seems that almost every, or almost every story on this podcast is about a Skinwalker. It’s exhausting and shows either a lack of vetting different stories or just making up the same kind of stories over and over again. I can almost predict how all of them end.

As a business owner I’d give 5 stars regardless and then comment on my opinion . Don’t be a Karen honestly . With that being said, I think the podcast is great , love horror and unexplained cryptic things and even though I’ve heard a very few stories th... more

I’ve listened to almost every single one of these episodes and they’re so good. Plus I’ve been thinking about submitting some of my dad’s allegedly true stories that happened to him.
