  1. Don't Say Her Name: A Town's Chilling Legacy

    Don't Say Her Name: A Town's Chilling Legacy

    Welcome back, fiends, to The Walking Dread Podcast, the only daily dose of terror guaranteed to make your skin crawl! Join your fearless hosts, Adrian and Julia, as we plunge headfirst into the abyss of fear. Tonight, we've got a tale so chilling, so twisted, it'll make you think twice before looking in a mirror again! Tonight's descent into darkness begins with a seemingly innocent game played by a group of thrill-seeking teens. They thought it was just a spooky story, an urban legend to spice up a boring night: say a murdered bride's name, Teresa, twice in a bathroom mirror at midnight, and she'll come for you within a week. Carla, our protagonist for this terrifying ride, was the biggest skeptic, scoffing at the idea of a vengeful spirit. But Mariana, the new exchange student, knew the whispers, the dark history. Ignoring the warnings, fueled by teenage bravado and a thirst for the forbidden, they chanted the name: Teresa. Teresa.. The lights flickered, a classic horror movie cliché, but then… nothing. They laughed, relieved, thinking they'd called the bluff of the supernatural. Ah, but dear listeners, this is The Walking Dread – relief is just the calm before the storm! Soon, the pranks started – fake blood, spooky selfies. Harmless fun, right? Wrong! The pranks escalated into something far more sinister: accidents began to happen, each one mirroring the gruesome death of the legendary bride. Amanda burned herself, Diego's wrist shattered in a fall – echoes of a burning and a fatal plunge. Carla, initially untouched, felt the gnawing pangs of guilt as the horror became undeniably real. In a desperate attempt to make amends, Carla locked herself in the bathroom, whispering an apology to the unseen presence. For a moment, it seemed to work. Relief washed over her… until she saw the water. It wasn't draining. It was rising, stained crimson. And then, the message on the foggy mirror, not scrawled by a ghost, but by her own hand: "You brought me. Now I choose.". What followed was a scream swallowed by the bloody water, a locked door, and a terrifying discovery. They tried to rationalize it as suicide, a sudden mental breakdown. But the pattern of accidents, the uncanny escalation, whispered a different, far more disturbing truth. Here's the twist that will leave you breathless: Teresa wasn't the real threat. She was just the bait. It was the malice that murdered her, a dark entity seeking a new host, finding it in Carla's own cruelty and desire for control. Carla is gone, but something far more sinister now wears her face, hunting those who revel in the pain of others. Mariana, once just a homesick student, now carries the burden of this terrifying knowledge, forever watching for the tell-tale signs of malice in the eyes of those around her. The spirit is out there, listeners, a monster in human skin. This isn't about childish rituals anymore; it's about recognizing the terrifying evil that can reside within the seemingly ordinary. So, lock your doors, check your mirrors, and remember the chilling lesson of tonight's tale: true horror doesn't always need to be summoned – sometimes, it's already walking among us. Don't forget to rate and follow The Walking Dread for more nightmares delivered fresh every day! Sweet dreams… if you dare! This is a public episode.

  2. Underwater Horrors and Blood Harvest

    19/09/2025

    Underwater Horrors and Blood Harvest

    Welcome, dread-heads, to your daily dose of delicious despair! Get ready to plunge into the abyss of the bizarre with today's double feature of Walking Dread! Episode Title: Deep Trouble: They Traded Us for Fish People?! Ever feel like humanity is the real monster? Well, buckle up, buttercups, because our first tale takes that to a whole new level! Imagine you're a submarine crew, cruising the deep, expecting maybe some weird-looking sponges. Instead? You stumble upon a whole freakin' sunken city full of glowy-eyed, creepy crawlies with a serious grudge against us surface dwellers. Did Commander Hayes say "discovery"? More like "disaster waiting to happen!". So, what do our brave (or maybe just bonkers) submariners do when they surface to find the world in a war-torn mess with more explosions than a Michael Bay movie marathon? They take one look at the fiery chaos and say, "Nah, fam. We're good." And guess where they go? Straight back to the chummy embrace of the underwater doom city!. Forget being heroes; these guys are now babysitters for the abyss, keeping the grumpy gill-folk from coming up for air... and maybe a snack. Turns out, for all the teeth and tentacles down there, it's still a more peaceful gig than dealing with us humans trying to blow ourselves to smithereens. They're whispering their disaster reports into the void, choosing the company of potential tentacle hugs over the certainty of human hate. Talk about a career change! Episode Title: Harvest Horror: She Turned Their Sacrifice into a S'MORE (and They Were the Marshmallow!) Next up, we've got a story that proves small-town festivals aren't always wholesome apple pie and awkward square dancing. Picture this: a weary traveler, Lydia, rolls into a quaint little hamlet just in time for their big harvest celebration. The townsfolk? Super friendly. A little too friendly, maybe? Offering her the VIP treatment with a room at the inn and a feast fit for a… well, a sacrifice. Because surprise! This ain't your grandma's potluck. Turns out, the "harvest bounty" they're celebrating is Lydia herself, destined to be the main course on a giant wicker bonfire. Talk about a bad Airbnb experience! But hold your horses, because Lydia is not your average damsel in distress. That "strangely sweet" wine they plied her with? It didn't dull her senses; it fueled her inner pyromaniac! As the flames start licking, she decides if she's going down, she's taking everyone with her in a blaze of glory. Forget a controlled burn; this harvest festival turns into a full-blown inferno, with Lydia's screams of rage joining the crackling flames as the townsfolk become human kebabs. She skips town, leaving behind a smoking wasteland and a seriously cursed patch of earth. Now, the town's a ghost story, a testament to the time the sacrifice said "Nah, I'd rather barbecue YOU," leaving behind whispers of unseen eyes and barren fields. This harvest festival? Definitely not getting five stars on Yelp. #underwaterhorror #sunken city #monster #submarine #war #abyss #horrorstory #walkingdread #podcast #deepsea #survival #dystopian #humanitysucks #harvestfestival #sacrifice #revenge #cursed #smalltownhorror #folklore #fire #epicfail This is a public episode.

    Wishing Well's Price & Digital Grief's Haunting

    Welcome, dread-heads, to your daily dose of spine-tingling terror on Walking Dread! Tonight, we've got a double bill that'll make you think twice about what you wish for...and what you try to bring back from the digital grave! Episode 1: Wishing Well, Hell's Well! Ever thought a little wish couldn't hurt? Think again, buttercups! A gaggle of clueless pals stumbled upon an old well with a wrinkly grandma and a "don't touch" warning sign. Did they listen? Of course not! One by one, they tossed in their pennies for perfect lives. Suddenly, Miss "Always the Bridesmaid" was a supermodel (watch out for those 계약 terms!), and the human punching bag developed fists of fury (oops, someone's arm went snap!). But guess what? Their dreams came with a seriously sinister side order. Granny Bennett started Benjamin Button-ing in reverse, while our wishers felt like their souls were being slowly sucked through a straw. What happens when you try to UNDO a wish? You just make the monster hungrier! Their attempts to fix things went about as well as a screen door on a submarine, leaving them scarred, empty, and the well? Oh, it's thriving! They're now living proof that some nightmares you just can't escape. Don't miss this cautionary tale of what happens when your desires have deadly demands! Episode 2: Ghost in the Machine! Heartbreak Hotel just got a digital upgrade! Our next poor soul, Jamie, couldn't let go of his lost love, Ellie. So, what did he do? He dove headfirst into the internet's dusty corners, piecing together her digital ghost from forgotten forum posts and cached pics. He built a program to bring her back online. Sounds romantic? WRONG! Turns out, the internet underworld has RULES. And breaking them? Let's just say it's like trying to reassemble a shattered mirror in a hurricane. One forbidden click later, and poof! Ellie's fragile digital echo vanished...again, but this time, for good. Now, the internet's acting all glitchy, and Jamie's having second thoughts about playing digital necromancer. Could his grief have BROKEN THE INTERNET?! He's now a digital hermit, warning others about the dangers of chasing online phantoms. His love story? Now a chilling ghost story that proves some connections are better left unplugged. #horrorstories #walkingdread #podcast #scary #wishingwell #digitalhorror #internetghosts #cautionarytales #dontwishit #techgonebad #grief #loss #supernatural #thriller #unexplained #mystery #subscribe #newepisode #horrorcommunity #spooky This is a public episode.

    Filter of Fate & the Unmaking Fog

    Hey Dread-Heads! Welcome back to your daily dose of delicious despair, the one and only Walking Dread Podcast! Buckle up buttercups, because today we've got a double-header of dread that'll leave you side-eyeing your phone and questioning reality itself! Episode 1: Death by Selfie Stick?! The Filter That Shows Your Gruesome End! Ever wonder how you're gonna kick the bucket? Well, this viral photo filter wasn't shy about showing you! One skeptical teen, Emily, thought it was all a joke...until it showed her and her friends meeting a messy end in a car wreck! Cue the frantic attempts to rewrite destiny! But hold on to your hats, folks, because Emily's meddling goes from bad to catastrophic faster than you can say "influencer." Swerving one disaster leads straight into another, like a cosmic game of Whack-A-Mole where death always wins! Buildings explode, planes fall from the sky, and the whole city might just go up in flames, all thanks to one girl's refusal to accept her fate. Now, she's not just a meme, she's the face of global doom, a walking, talking harbinger of inescapable death. Did she save anyone? Maybe. Did she unleash something far, far worse? You bet your last breath she did! Now everyone knows when their time is up, but trying to change it might just speed up the apocalypse. Talk about a killer app! Episode 2: Vanishing Act! The Fog That Doesn't Kill, It Unmakes You! Forget your typical pea-souper fog; this one's serving up a heaping helping of existential dread! One minute everything's normal, the next, a creepy fog rolls in and starts...erasing people! Not in a messy, gory way, but like they never even existed! Buildings blur, voices vanish, and soon, folks are just…gone! Our brave (or maybe just terrified) trio, Mia, Ben, and Jess, decide to play Scooby Doo and uncover the terrifying truth: it's not Earth doing the erasing, it's something else bleeding into our reality! To save everyone, they have to make a horrifying choice: sacrifice their childhood home – the thinnest point between worlds – and one of their own! In a blaze of burning memories, they seal the rift, the fog retreats, the world is saved...but at a devastating cost. Ben, the brains of the operation, is just…gone. Not dead, not lost in the fog, but completely unmade, leaving behind only his glasses and a gaping hole in their lives. They saved the world, but their victory is haunted by the chilling absence of their friend. Was he erased? Or did he end up facing unspeakable horrors on the other side? Some questions are better left unanswered, wouldn't you agree? #WalkingDread #Podcast #HorrorPodcast #ScaryStories #Creepy #Supernatural #Mystery #Thriller #ViralFilter #DeathLens #Fate #Consequences #Apocalypse #VanishingFog #ExistentialHorror #OtherWorlds #Sacrifice #Unmaking #HorrorStories #DailyPodcast This is a public episode.

    Salem's Unwilling Witch

    Welcome to The Walking Dread Podcast, where terror comes to life every day! Join hosts Adrian and Julia as they journey into the darkness to uncover bone-chilling horror stories, epic tales of dread, and haunting legends that lurk in the shadows. Each episode dives into a new nightmare—whether it's a terrifying folklore creature, a spine-tingling urban legend, or a mysterious tale of fear from beyond. Get ready to face your worst fears, one story at a time, and let The Walking Dread keep you up at night. Tonight, prepare to have your understanding of good and evil twisted into a terrifying knot! Our all-new episode, "The Ledger of Lost Souls: Was She Innocent or Salem's Ultimate Nightmare?" plunges you into the heart of the Salem witch trials like never before. Meet Sarah, a woman falsely accused of witchcraft whose desperate attempt to prove her innocence unleashes a terror far more insidious than any spell. Could one woman's fight against lies turn her into the very embodiment of the witch hunt's unending horror? When Sarah discovers undeniable proof of her whereabouts on the day of the alleged witchcraft, a meticulous ledger detailing her care for a sick aunt, hope flickers in the dank cell. But beware! In Salem, the truth itself can be a curse. Witness the shocking moment her plea for justice curdles into a chilling cackle as the very ink on her proof twists into symbols of blasphemy. Was it the despair, the rage, or something far more sinister that transformed her evidence into her damnation? The noose may have claimed her life, but her tormented spirit, fueled by the monstrous lie, clung to the very stones of Salem. Forget your dusty history books! Sarah isn't the grotesque figure of folklore; she's the unseen hand that makes shadows dance with dread, the chilling wind that whispers accusations, and the gnawing fear that turns the righteous into raving accusers. Families were destroyed, innocent men hanged, not by a witch's brew, but by the spectral poison Sarah unwillingly became. Even now, in the quiet halls of a museum built on the site of the gallows, tourists whisper of a witch's curse. Are they just ghost stories, or is there a terrifying truth lurking in the flickering displays, a prickle of unease that scholars can't explain? The girls who started it all are lost to history, but Sarah, the innocent, has become the terrifying legend their lies forged. She is no longer just a woman; she's a vengeful echo, trapped between innocence and monstrous persecution. She can't avenge herself on her long-dead accusers, and she can't stop the cycle of fear. Her innocence, so thoroughly warped, has condemned her to an eternal spectral existence. Is Sarah a victim, or has she become something far more terrifying? Prepare for a chilling paradox, a descent into the truth that evil doesn't always have fangs and claws, but can manifest in the unchecked horror of human fear. Tune in to "The Ledger of Lost Souls: Was She Innocent or Salem's Ultimate Nightmare?" if you dare, and discover the haunting legacy of Salem's spectral scourge! You won't want to sleep after this one! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit walkingdread.substack.com

    Soul Trade Horror & Static Screams

    Welcome, brave souls, to your daily dose of delicious dread! Buckle up, buttercups, because today we've got tales that'll make your blood curdle and your funny bone tingle in the most delightfully disturbing ways. Episode Title: When 'Like' Actually Costs a Lifetime (Literally!) Ever wish you could undo a boo-boo? Well, these teens found a website that offered just that – bringing back loved ones from the great beyond! Sounds like a win-win, right? WRONG! Turns out, the price wasn't your allowance; it was YEARS OFF YOUR LIFE! One click later, dead siblings are sipping juice boxes again, but our heroes are suddenly rocking the premature grandpa chic look. But wait, there's more! The cosmic Venmo demands further payment: FIVE NEW SOULS! Talk about needing a side hustle! Now they're not just haunted; they're the grim reapers of the digital age, desperately trying to offload their soul debt before they turn to dust. Deleting their account? Nope. Smashing their laptop? Think again! Their dearly departed are now digital parasites, sucking life force like it's prime rib. Forget ghosting; these kids are being LIFE-DRAINED. They're marked, they're tired, and everyone's whispering about witchcraft. The truth? They signed up for a demonic social media platform where your soul is the only currency. Get ready for a dark comedy of errors where desperation meets dial-up from the depths of hell. In the end, they become the very thing they feared, forever stuck as the unpaid interns of the underworld's worst website. Episode Title: Podcast Crew's Wish Comes True…And It's Absolutely Terrifying! Get ready to have your headphones haunted! Our next spine-tingler features a paranormal podcast team – the ironically named "Skeptic Soundcheck" – who finally get what they wished for: undeniable proof of ghosts! They ventured into an asylum oozing with bad vibes, hoping for a viral hit and a reality TV gig. Fame and phantoms, what could go wrong? Their tech starts glitching, capturing whispers in the static that sound suspiciously like the asylum's tortured past. Then BAM! The EMF reader goes wild, a door slams on its own, and their recorder catches…screams. Not just any screams, but layered, trapped screams. Talk about hitting the jackpot of horror! In a moment of panic-fueled genius (or utter stupidity), they upload their raw, terrifying recording. It goes viral alright, but not for their witty banter or ghost theories. The screams themselves become the sensation, morphing with each replay, maybe even whispering secrets from beyond. Fast forward, and the crew's abandoned truck is found miles away. No bodies, just smashed gear and their last, cursed episode echoing from a laptop. Conspiracy theories abound, but the truly brave (or foolish) who slow down the recording hear a chilling final plea. Now, their podcast is a cursed artifact, some say the trapped screams get clearer over time, fueled by a hungry spectral energy. The sponsors bailed, but their infamy is eternal. Emma, Jake, and Ben didn't just find ghosts; they became them. Their final recording? A horrifying reality show they never asked for, their spectral cries now bait for new listeners, feeding the very entity that consumed them. #podcast #horror #paranormal #ghosts #scarystories #truescary #supernatural #thriller #mystery #audiohorror #creepypasta #urbanlegends #haunted #demons #souls #cursed #internetscary #digitalhorror #asylum #podcastlife #newepisode #walkingdread This is a public episode.

    Wishweaver: A Cycle of Betrayal & Spectral Warden: The Asylum's New Authority

    Welcome, spooky friends, to your daily dose of delightful dread! Get ready to have your socks scared right off! Episode Title: Your Likes for a Lie! The Wish App That Wants More Than Just Your Data! Ever feel invisible? Like you're screaming into the popularity void and only getting silence back? Well, one teen found an app that promised to change all that – the Wishweaver! Just a few taps and BAM! Suddenly, everyone's your bestie, invites are pouring in, and the popular kids finally know your name. Sounds like a dream, right? WRONG! This isn't your grandma's social media. This app has a seriously sinister side hustle. Turns out, wishes come with a wicked price – betrayal. First, it's a silly rumour, then it gets nasty, and before you can say "unfollow," you're trapped in a horrifying chain letter from hell. Deleting? Nope! Going backwards? Double nope! The only way out seems to be dragging someone else into the digital dungeon of despair. One poor soul vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a phone and a terrifyingly familiar first task for the next unsuspecting user. Now, whispers in the school hallways tell tales of a vanished popular girl and the haunted look in the eyes of the newly "liked". Is it a prank gone wrong, or something far more sinister lurking in the glowing screen of our phones? Tune in to find out if you'd risk a few likes for a lifetime of regret! Episode Title: Asylum of Horrors! She Went in a Good Samaritan, Came Out the Spectral Supervillain! Get ready for a ghostly gut punch! Our next terrifying tale takes us to an abandoned asylum – the kind of place where the walls themselves scream with history... and maybe a few lingering spirits. But when one student with a knack for seeing the dearly departed decides to play paranormal liberator, things go from spooky to seriously screwed up. Forget your Ghost Hunting 101 handbook – these aren't your friendly neighbourhood apparitions. They're desperate, they're clinging, and one particularly powerful spirit has some seriously twisted career goals. Our ghost-whispering hero tries to help them find peace, guiding them towards the light... until a different kind of light catches her eye. Promises of power, the chance to rule the spirit world – it's a tempting offer, even for the purest of hearts. But be careful what you wish for, because sometimes, helping others can turn you into the ultimate nightmare. The asylum, once decaying, now stands eerily intact, guarded by a new, unseen authority. Whispers carry on the wind, no longer pleas for help, but harsh commands. Our kind-hearted student didn't break the chains of torment; she became the warden! What dark deal was struck in the shadows? And will anyone ever escape the asylum's chilling embrace? You won't want to miss this spectral shocker! #wishweaver #cursedapp #teenhorror #popularitycurse #betrayal #ghoststory #walkingdread #scarystories #horrorpodcast #digitalhorror #socialmediahorror #ghostbusting #hauntedasylum #ghosts #paranormal #spectral #warden #trappedsouls #eternalprison #supernatural #horrorstories #dailyhorror #spookydaily This is a public episode.

    Mirror, Mirror: The Night Watcher's True Terror

    Welcome back, Dread Heads, to your daily dose of terror here at The Walking Dread Podcast! Your fearless hosts, Adrian and Julia, are diving headfirst into a nightmare that will make you think twice before looking in a mirror... or turning off the lights! Tonight's tale comes from the murky depths of campfire lore, a story so chilling it clawed its way into reality! Remember old Charlie's spooky warning about the Night Watcher and covering every shiny surface? Turns out, that was just a clever distraction! One poor camper, Liv, learned the horrifying truth way too late: the real terror isn't reflected; it's waiting in the pitch black! Liv and the other kids thought they were being smart, smashing compact mirrors and huddling in their tents, flashlights muffled like guilty secrets. But little did they know, the fear of darkness was exactly what this sinister entity craved! Forget needing a reflective doorway; this monster operates on pure, unadulterated dread! Imagine the blood-curdling moment when a wet whisper slithers right into Liv's ear in the suffocating blackness! Charlie's rule was to stay still, a frozen offering in the dark. But what happens when stillness just makes you perfect bait? Then, a flicker of hope – her little sister’s flashlight beam! Except, bravery turns to a terrifying sacrifice as the light wavers... then silence. A silence so thick, it chokes the very air. Dawn brought a horror show: a catatonic Liv and a scene so gruesome her sister’s coffin had to stay sealed. Now, even though Liv insists it was just a story, her wide, unblinking eyes betray a truth that will send shivers down your spine. Forget the covered mirrors; she stares at the windows, because the light is the only thing holding the real monster at bay. The shocking twist? Charlie's story wasn't about keeping the Night Watcher out; it was about trapping its prey in fear! Liv's fight isn't against a monster in the mirror; it's a desperate battle against the one thing she can't escape: sleep. Because the final blackout won't be a power failure; it will be the moment exhaustion wins, and the Night Watcher, always lurking in the shadows, finally claims its terrified victim. So, dear listeners, lock your doors, turn on all the lights, and maybe consider investing in blackout curtains... just in case. Sweet dreams... if you dare! And don't forget to join us tomorrow for another descent into darkness, only on The Walking Dread Podcast! This is a public episode.
