4.6 out of 5 stars from 609 ratings
  • Minimal effort

    This podcast is poorly researched and is more like clickbait vs factual information. After listening to her “Halloween” special, it’s clear her information about the historical figures does not come from well-researched sources. 1. You can’t visit the graves 2. No one in NOLA has a cellar. It’s a city under sea level.

    Just another example of someone trying to make a buck off of mediocre work.

  • Enjoyed Vanessa Richardson’s Delivery

    I was pleasantly surprised when Vanessa Richardson guest hosted the Spooky Season episode of Twisted Tales. The story telling seemed clearer, more engaging and concise. Vanessa brought something that always seemed missing in Heidi’s episodes. I hope Vanessa will take over, or at least guest host more.

  • Fun!

    I really enjoy this show - my favorite being the creepypastas! I know you can read creepypastas online, but I don’t have time for that, so it was my first time hearing them!

    (One note: the most recent episode was a repeat episode with a new/wrong title, I think the wrong audio was uploaded)
