Favourite Podcast

Honestly, this is one of my favourite podcasts… it’s so well done. I had even gotten a subscription to luminary when episodes were published on that platform- I quickly cancelled it when Spooked left. It’s just so good. Never a boring story. 10/10

Enjoying the show but it’s very tame and has some fluff

I’m enjoying this show, there are some very interesting stories and being told from the person first hand is a real plus. Some of the stories are pretty predictable or not ‘spooky’ by my estimation. For example people telling stories of when they feel like ‘god’ answered their prayers doesn’t seem very spine tingling from a scary story perspective.
The hosts written segments are pretty heavy handed, cringey and … Yeah … “I BEG you, no matter where you are, no matter what you do, never ever never ever never ever never never ever NEVER EVER … turn off the lights” … … Umm Ok …
