This podcast is excellent. Super engaging with excellent performances.
Always interesting and well done.
This is the best podcast I have ever listened to.
If you like spooky, this is it. If you like horror, this is it, if you like plain weird then this is your podcast. The writing is absolutely fantastic, the stories just pull you in front of the first few seconds. I have searched and there is nothing anywhere close to how good this is.
There’s simply not enough of them - please keep making these masterpieces - I am so excited when a new one pops up.
