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.
So glad this Podcast resumed. Thank you.
I’m SO excited for the next season!!!!
I quite literally screamed with joy when I saw a new season was coming. The best podcast.

This horror audio drama anthology centers on ordinary people who encounter supernatural forces, often set in intimate, small-town Irish settings. Episodes combine tight character dynamics, claustrophobic mood, and twisty, self-contained plots that blend ritual, folklore, and grim consequences. Production quality stands out, with strong acting, writing, and sound design that elevate atmospheric horror and deliver complete, standalone stories in each installment. The format appears to reward attentive listening and repeat engagement, with praised storytelling and high regard for pacing and craft, and it often explores themes of power, tradition, and family secrets.
