entertaining

I love these. I listen to them while cutting grass, on commutes, doing housework and when I go to sleep. The hosts voice is so comforting.

Great horror story podcast

Great narrators and good story selection. Great for falling asleep to or driving down dark country roads early in the morning going to work. Definitely check this podcast out, it doesn't disappoint.

My Favorite Podcast Ever!!!

I love Darkness prevails. I love all the monster and ghost stories that bring me a little closer to that mysterious and mystical realm without actually going to the woods myself!! xoxo

Listen to it, don't question it, just do it.

Listened on Spotify for awhile but decided to move over here. I am OBSSESED with this podcast. The stories are spooky and the narrator does a fantastic job. Thank you for all that you do sir, also, to everyone to shared these stories, I hope you are all well!
