Count me hooked! A great podcast, beautifully voices, suspense, mistery and so much more! Thank you for a great time!!
Fantastic show glad to have found it
Really rad Canadian horror through a Filipina lens. Tbh that lens makes it feel more Canadian. It's super creative and I love the premise through the phone calls and recordings.
Hi Nay helped me realized I love horror and why. This in-depth, spooky story is one part found family, one part Filippino folklore mixed with the horror of the unknown(and rich people), and one part hilarious. It’s a labour of love that will keep you hooked all the way down to the pit!
The ambiance in this show is great! Mari's an absolute badass but is never immune to being rattled. I love how the lore drops trickle in, and I can't wait to hear more
