Ep. 8 – The Shadow Over Innsmouth
A foggy seafront town where something's coming from the water. An ancient cult, a stranger with a bandaged face and a body in a shallow grave. The story continues.
True-life mystery podcasters Matthew Heawood and Kennedy Fisher return and this time the story is Kennedy Fisher.
A simple investigation into the disappearance of a young man from a mental health facility has taken them from Rhode Island to Iraq, to the Suffolk countryside – as they realised that everything uncovered in season one threaded through to season two. But towards the end of 'The Whisperer In Darkness', the investigation turned inward as Kennedy discovered a possible family connection to the uncovered conspiracy. And evidence forces Heawood to question Kennedy’s account of her time in Iraq. As Kennedy heads off to Innsmouth, to look into her apparently spooky ancestry, Heawood is going to Iraq to find an answer to the most disturbing of all questions; could Kennedy be a killer?
Both make shocking, life-changing discoveries as the two investigations come together and reach a gripping conclusion, just as the Coronavirus pandemic is sweeping the world
Barnaby Kay and Jana Carpenter star in writer/director Julian Simpson’s H.P. Lovecraft-inspired universe.

Customer Reviews
Amazing!
By far one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to. It’s creepy, funny, and SO interesting all in equal measures. The fact that a lot of what they talk about is real blows my mind. I’ve listed to all 3 series 3 times now and I know I’ll listen to them all again soon.
The greatest fiction podcast ever made
No exaggeration: I have listened to this seven times, all the way from episode 1 to the end of season 3. Every time there’s new fun details or moments to enjoy - especially with a script this full of nuance and foreshadowing, and with a cast whose performances are full of rich detail and subtlety.
This show succeeds as a horror, as a mystery, as a thriller and above all as a comedy. Utterly perfect acting in every single role, and it’s impossible not to binge the whole thing.
This show ought to have won every single award going, and every person involved deserves nothing but the highest praise. This absolute and total perfection. I’ll be listening to it for an eighth time soon.
Great podcast
I came across these by hearing an ad in another podcast. The delivery is excellent, the content suitably strange and chilling. Wonderful podcast… a must listen
