love, love, love, my favorite podcast

I love the ability for people to call in and just tell their story without judgment or interruptions. Derek does a great job adding interesting info and perspectives to each story. He keeps an open mind. I love the variety and keeping it fun with themes, hometown legends, etc. Super interesting and entertaining. it also normalizes experiences. I also appreciate giving mental health awareness some time. great job.

Great Stories

I had only started listening to podcasts when I found this one. What I like most is not only the stories of all things supernatural and usual, but that there is research and context given to the stories presented. Definitely worth the time.

spooktacular!

I love this podcast of the paranormal and supernatural. I love that listeners can call in with their first person accounts of the weird, wild and scary! Derek does a great job with editing and adding a healthy dose of skepticism. I have heard some of the craziest stories on this podcast, and the believe-ability is real. It is worth the listen for anyone with interests in paranormal, bizarre, specters, cryptids and syfy! Oh and UFOs, can't forget those pesky aliens.

Love this show!!!

There's something about listening to actual witnesses tell their stories that's just so scary. It's the emotions in how they tell their story that's so believable. Love this show!
