United Kingdoma month ago - Very creepy!
Love the podcast! Really scary stories, brilliant, every scary in the daylight :))
Apple Podcasts5CowboyadamUnited Kingdoma month ago - Almost too horrific
I was really pleased to see another season of Petrified appear on my podcast feed. The stories are original, brilliantly performed and genuinely terrifying. The story about a young mother inviting a volunteer into her home to help her with the school nativity costumes - that just made me feel nauseated -perhaps that’s a good thing in this genre? Petrified isn’t for the lightweight horror fans (like me) you have been warned!
Apple Podcasts4AnnabelDanielsUnited Kingdoma month ago - Really good!
I'm really enjoying this podcast. Nearly all the episodes are brilliant. It is great if you like a scary story, but there's some really good humour subtly worked in too.
