  • Boring

    I had high expectations, based on the previous reviews. However after listening to over an hour of three guys talk about about themselves, giggle, ummm, ahh, yeah like, I gave up.. I’m not sure how or when the ‘scary’, stories come into play, because it was just three guys non stop talking about themselves… boring and a waste of time.

  • I love this podcast!

    I feel like this podcast deserve so much more recognition. I caught up with my other podcasts and I was desperately looking for something when I found this and this amazing! I love it!

    The stories are diverse and so interestingly narrated. They aren’t nightmares scary but definitely thrilling enough for you to gasp at moments. They’re short so it doesn’t feel like a commitment.

    Please keep doing what your’e doing!
