  • I love this podcast. Started following in 2019 on a different platform, but platform became unavailable. Started listening on here, but from the beginning. Stories are better the second time around. The showers are still my favorite although i think my grandfather is a serial killer is my second and The kin is my third.

  • Great narration but…

    Narration is great but a lot of these stories are not scary. Lots of hypotheticals and stories that are just not scary, just underwhelming and proof that the only thing that is scary is the prevalence of undiagnosed mental illness perhaps.

    Update- I stopped listening because of the loud ads and I came back a year later and I can’t believe they still aren’t fixed! And now there’s sooo many more ads. This podcast has the potential to be great. What a shame.

    Update- I can’t do it anymore. Unfortunately I’m going to have to unsubscribe until the blaring commercials are fixed. Months of complaints from tons of p... more
