  • Best going to bed podcast!

    I have been listening to literally every episode of this and Unexplained Encounters from the same guy and his voice is perfect for these type of stories. Huge plus that there is some background noise which is so relaxing! Listen every night in bed.

  • Seriously, I don't think its ai

    This is a great podcast, and I can kindaget why people may think it's ai, but my personal opinion is that its very much real. I also love to listen to these, and think about what job I will take on later in life, though probably not any night shift janitors or night guards, thank you very much 😅

    Anywho, great podcast, keep it up darkness.
