I am so pleased you are once again telling us tales. The crafting of your series of the search for Poe’s ghost is superb. What a storyteller you are. This is certainly not a run of the mill podcast, I look forward to hearing more.
I was worried you weren’t going to return. This is easily my favorite podcast and I’ve re-listened to all of the episodes. Incredible storytelling. Thanks for coming back.
Part History, Part Horror, All Entertainment. I really enjoy listening to Pleasing Terrors over and over again. Mike Brown has a way of telling ghost stories that makes you feel like you’re right there in the middle of it. He mixes history with spooky legends, so you’re not just getting chills.You’re learning something too. His voice is calm but eerie which makes the stories even more gripping. So glad he is back.
