Customer Reviews
Like an afternoon with spooky friends
Listening to these two friends share tales of weirdness from Essex is like being party to an intriguing chat in a warm country pub. Thanks for your thorough research and easy way of conveying these eerie tales.
Love this pair!
It’s always a fun listen and lots of interesting content. The ‘bants’ is of a consistently high standard 😝 and I keep coming back for more.
Highly Recommend
Eerie Essex is such a fun listen. I love the podcast’s focus on Essex’s ghosts and folklore and the enthusiasm Bethan and Alisa bring to every episode. The Danny Robbins episode is a stand out favourite of mine. I definitely recommend listening to this podcast if you haven’t already!
