Darkness is the best

He is the best narrator around!

Moo💙 ,

Love!!!

By far the best horror podcast I’ve found so far I listen for background noise and the stories are bone chilling and I love that it’s clean.

MikeBreedlove ,

A “ Must” listen

I love cryptic stories , wired stuff . I find it fun . This podcast is amazing . Well spoken , great stories and usually at lest an hour long . Don’t listen with a skeptic mind, just relax , enjoy the story and imagine yourself within the words.my favorites are missing 411 type & Bigfoot & dogman Great channel sir ! Bravo 👏 Also, this podcast is NOT a once a week show . He puts quality content out almost every day. Follow, and watch out, this will definitely end up in your top 3 podcasts.
