- Interesting and spooky
If you ever want an interesting podcast that will give you the chills; this is what you’re looking for! I highly recommend even for people who don’t prefer spooky legends because there are plenty other interesting episodes that aren’t about long lost spirits of the past. It’s the perfect podcast to listen to in your free time, while you’re doing an activity, or even at a wedding! 5 stars!!

I’m glad I had the time to listen to this show as much as I did. And I guess there are still episodes coming out that are available for free, and I know Aaron has to get paid, but it’s kinda sad how so much of it is now for subscribers only. When the show used to be totally free. I supposed nothing lasts forever. It’s still a good show. Just guess I wish it could’ve stayed free. 🤷♂️😕

I love this podcast so much but can you do more stories set in the UK and/or about creepy dolls?

Whenever people ask me how I know so much about <insert topic here>, I tell them about this and all the other podcasts Grim and Mild produces. I started with Lore and it is still at the top of my favorites list.

Stories are interesting, relaxing (mostly) and include a lot of history incidentally as part of the story. His voice is perfect for this app. Thanks Aaron for this and your other works.
