  • Favourite spooky podcast

    Love to listen to these stories while out driving at night or stargazing or just chilling in parking lots and feeling spooked. Awesome host who really gives the storytellers space to share their own perspectives, yet follows up with super relevant and interesting questions!

  • True horror

    Somehow, even more terrifying than these ‘otherworldly’ tales themselves is the sound of the Gen Zers and Millennials vocal-frying, upspeaking and syllable -stretching their way through them. A true horror to the ears.

  • Dry Mouth Clicking

    This is an interesting podcast, I like the stories! However, it seems like EVERY person interviewed has cotton mouth, which makes it very hard to listen to.

  • Do you believe there is a world beyond our physical existence?

    I certainly do after listening to this podcast. Featuring so many interesting stories from people of all types of backgrounds, it broadens your perspective on the physical and spiritual world. The soundtrack is awesome as well. I haven’t heard every episode yet, but Eagle Eye has been my favorite so far. I was happy to hear Twin Peaks (the band) featured in this episode.

Episode 175: I Met God in a Burger King Parking Lot
