Good scary stories good stuff
Recently found this podcast and I love it, so far! Just listened to the Smiling Man episode - WOW. I was enthralled. Keep them coming!
Not only is this the best true paranormal story podcast, I would argue that it is the only good one. No obnoxious hosts, no rambling incoherent stories, no one trying desperately to get their 15 minutes of podcast fame, nothing too over the top. Just very believable stories told in plain language by average people.
I love this channel, I discovered it about 3 or 4 yrs ago just scrolling though podcasts channels listened to an episode and never looked back I binged whatever he had in 1 or 2 days. Edwin you’re a true storyteller I will always come back hungry for more.
Ever since I’ve been listening to your pod , I think about is there a demon in here. So I could chilled out every time I listen to this. And I’m ready for more your scary stories. Please send more like this. Hope this school is on forever and ever and ever.

A notable pattern is the emphasis on credibility and relatability—stories are presented in the storyteller's own words, sometimes with cultural or regional context—and the show frequently explores how beliefs, skepticism, and community memory shape fear.
