I am a fairly new listener and when I first listen to him, I really fell in love with his storytelling and a way that he got me to engage in the stories. One of my new favorite favorites. Definitely recommend!

Apple Podcasts5TajannahUnited States24 days ago - The Spooky Podcast I Didn’t Know I Needed!
This has been the BEST spooky podcast I’ve come across so far and I snoop them all. Not really but definitely the best so far. Someone else commented that Sylas finds the perfect balance between factual and respectful storytelling and absolute comedy, an example was, “SHE WAS WACKIN’
IT?!” HAHAHA! This is so accurate. I personally couldn’t ask for more! Please keep it going! Also, your sip breaks are endearing, not annoying.
