  • Fantastic, Fun, and Freaky!

    I found this podcast through Two Hot Takes, where Kaelyn was a guest, and I am SO glad I did. It's so good! I love that she covers a wide range of creepy stories: paranormal, urban legends, cryptozoology, true life mysteries, true crime, and generally macabre stories. Kaelyn presents the stories in a professional, polite, and well-researched manner—but she also shows her personality as well, especially when talking with her sister, which I love. The podcast is the perfectly blend of professional... more

  • One of the best

    Imo, one of the best pods covering all things creepy & freaky. Kaelyn Moore does an extraordinary amount of research that is clearly evident in each & every episode. I primarily enjoy the subject matter which is less well-known, as it often prompts me to delve down rabbit hole after rabbit hole. However, that is not to say that the sometimes overly covered lore, legends & true crime tales are not also excellent…because they are! I always take away new info or facts on cases that are often over... more

  • Great stories and original fiction

    I love the show. Great host, great writing, interesting stories and an intelligent creep factor. It’s a lot more fun and very different from a lot of the other shows in its category. I also have to give them props for great original fiction. I just finished The Timekeeper. That was so much fun. Please do more of that! Also, have your sister on again once in a while. She’s great too!
