Mesmerising

Tanis grabs your attention from the start and never lets go - its excellent characterisations, complex story and fascinating mystery keeps you on the edge of your seat at all times. The docu-drama format lends plausibility to the show, and the small comedic moments ensures a healthy balance between wonder, confusion and horror - and trust me, there are moments of horror here. Highly recommended.

Hooked!

This podcast could easily obtain a cult status. I've shared it with friends, and it has already become the one thing we reference all the time. Replaying season 1 now, because the complex layers and concepts have so much to offer. It's a world of mystery.

Jon-Magnus87 ,

Det siste store mysterium

Spennende, mystisk og frustrerende bestemt på å ikke gi konkrete svar. Denne poscasten setter standarden for alle andre produksjoner. Anbefales dersom man setter pris på konspirasjoner og gamle legender/myter!
