Haunted

I prefer this to Uncanny, because it gives rational explanations. Now, I appreciate believers in the supernatural don’t want rational explanations, but I appreciate the wonders the human mind can produce and the various reasons for it. I really wish Uncanny had leaned into this more, rather than trying to give supernatural explanations equal (or often more) time.

Danny is such a good story teller. I love the way he includes discussions with believers and sceptics.

I much prefer this higher level of production quality on shows like these, where each episode is done in a more documentary style interview, rather than the host just reading poorly written paragraphs submitted by anonymous readers, or just huge unedited chunks of telephone calls with the interviewee. Danny does a great job of being respectful of the stories of the shows guests, while also reminding skeptical of the nature of their experiences. He is also a great stand in for the audience, often asking questions that I myself wanted to ask the subject. I binged this show and am sad there is no more of it. But I’m Now listening to his newer show “Uncanny”, which is also exquisite.

If you love hearing ghost stories then this podcast is for you. I don’t mind the rational point of view but I think it takes away from the ambiance of the experience which is what most people listen to those sorts of podcasts in the first place. Also, Kieran really does have an explanation for everything, even though he has absolutely no first hand account of the person’s experience and therefore has to assume many things about certain aspects of said experience. I do feel that people tend to convince themselves of things that are happening but every now and then things happen that have absolutely no rational explanation…like Bridget the nurse who shared her 2 part story. I love the interviewer and his narration. Excellent production value…it’s just like a tv show without the visuals so excellent for listening to while tucked up in bed. I wish there were more ❤️🛏❤️👻
