  • Happy accident

    I found this podcast by mistake but I am taken aback with these stories! I love the podcast and all the discussion of super natural experiences happening in war torn areas. It’s really well presented and I’m learning so much about lore and unique war experiences. Thank you for all the great research ♥️

  • I love the ghost stories

    I love all the ghost stories. For some reason they are nice to hear but the episode, a fate worse than death, I cannot stomach. I lived in haunted houses when I lived with my parents but the suffering people experienced in war are hard to hear. I had to skip that one. That’s likely a thumbs up to the host for telling the story so well. Thanks for all you do! I’m glad you have a podcast, YouTube is not something I can always access.

  • Well Done.

    I started listening because I loved Luke Lamana’s Redacted podcast. Great voice and dramatizations. An overall fantastic mix of war & weird. Well done!
