  • Love it all

    I’m loving listening to the stories, both the real and the written fiction. I’m not totally caught up yet but I’m intently listening for the outcome of the book. I’d love to read/hear it.

  • My daughter and I listen together!

    I have a 13 year old daughter and you know how mother/teenage daughter relationships can be…. Well, anytime we are in the car together she asks to listen to this podcast. She loves spooky stuff so this is right up her alley. We listen together and both love it! Thanks for giving me a tool that makes these teenage years a bit easier :)

    We also love your voice, it’s very calming

  • Good, but not what’s advertised

    I really thought this podcast would be about true American history with haunted stories related to that history. However, the past few episodes I’ve listened to (2022) have a large amount of fictional stories. They’re good, just not the type of subject matter I thought the podcast would cover. Keep doing you, but I’m moving on.
