Chillingly good!

Found this when looking for a scary fix and it’s now a firm favourite. Great format, really excellent stories and the narration is top notch. Glynn Washington is brilliant! Do yourself a favour and check it out…

Too much intro

The stories themselves are often quite interesting but I’m losing patience with the introductions, which go on forever and feel like padding to make the episodes longer.

Never, never, never, EVER… turn off the lights

I love this podcast. Stumbled across it when trying to find something creepy in the time before a new Uncanny series and what a gem.

There are some genuinely unsettling stories included here, told by those involved and spun together by the “believe-it-or-not-I-dont-care-either-way-but-here-it-is-nonetheless” drawl of Glynn Washington.

There’s one or two I’ve gone “yeah right” or “nope not scary”, but these are by far outnumbered by the creepy ones, with a couple genuinely getting me hearing noises outside my headphones whilst working in notes evenings…….

Never, never, never, EVER… stop doing this podcast!
