Case 1: The Flood
Marcus loves visiting his eccentric Aunt Jean, the black sheep of a very religious family. She runs a witch shop in New Orleans, selling spells, candles and Ouija boards. When Aunt Jean tragically dies in Hurricane Katrina, drowned in the basement of her own flat, her possessions end up at Marcus’s granddad’s house in South Georgia.
One night Marcus and his cousin dig them out and find her prized Ouija board. What will happen if they try to make contact with her? The answer, it turns out, is that all hell breaks loose.
Danny heads to Georgia to meet Marcus and hears about the most terrifying night of his life.

Second to none.
I’ve been listening to similar contented podcasts for years and I’m always on the hunt for more. There are some pretty great podcasts out there however Uncanny takes the cake.
Genuinely spooky!
I love all things paranormal, including podcasts. Some are paranormal podcasts are cheesy. At best, they are consistently entertaining. This is the only paranormal podcast I’ve ever had to switch off because it genuinely scared the bejesus out of me. Two gigantic thumbs up!!! More please!!
Good buuuut
This is SUCH a good podcast. But the last three weeks have been old episodes re-released essentially which is so annoying. I get so excited and I then I see it’s another episode that was already released months ago. Its a bit disappointing and also feels a little lazy? Unless there is something else being worked on? 👀
