  • Amazing!

    If you love eerie, horror, mystical and scary stories, these are great! They’re the perfect length, and each one is unique but has the slowly developing story of some of the workers at the institution, I am hooked and can’t wait to hear more!

  • The slow and terrible loss of your memory and sense of self to some unknown force depriving you of it. The loss of liberty and personhood. Maybe the real monster was the uncaring psychiatric establishment all along? Great podcast, can't wait to hear more.
