I’ve always loved a good ghost story, and apparently, so do all of you because my TikTok blew up with the wildest, creepiest real-life experiences people have shared. This podcast is just me, reading the stories you’ve sent in, chatting about the weird stuff that happens when no one’s watching, and maybe freaking myself out along the way. If you love the paranormal, the unexplainable, or just fancy a spooky story while you do the dishes, you’re in the right place. Let’s get into it.

    People Are Seeing Demons in Their Sleep…including me!

    Sleep Paralysis, Night Terrors & the Thin Line Between Faith and Fear In this episode of The Darkling Chronicles, we explore one of the most disturbing and misunderstood human experiences: sleep paralysis and night terrors. I share and react to real Reddit stories from people who have experienced terrifying episodes where the body is frozen, the mind is awake, and something feels present. From shadow figures and pressure on the chest to whispered voices, dark entities, and overwhelming fear, these accounts blur the line between science, spirituality, and the unknown. I also expand on my personal thoughts around religion and how faith, belief systems, and demonic interpretations have shaped the way these experiences are understood across cultures. Are these moments simply neurological glitches, or do they connect to something far older and more spiritual that humans have tried to explain for centuries? If you have experienced sleep paralysis, night terrors, or something you still cannot explain, I would love to hear from you.Email your experiences or thoughts to: thedarklingchronicles25@gmail.com You can also explore true encounters in my real-life ghost story book here:👉 https://tdc25.com/product/pre-order-real-ghost-stories-by-the-darkling-chronicles/ Listener discretion advised.

    What was behind me? It Wasn’t My Dad...and other real ghost stories.

    In this episode, we’re sharing real ghost stories sent in by listeners. It begins with Tonya’s pub story, where her brother’s girlfriend saw a figure waving behind her in an upstairs pub window. She thought it was Tonya’s dad. It wasn’t. You’ll also hear from a woman who, on the first night in her new home, felt hands clap right beside her ear while she was alone. Next is a story shared by MusicLover on TikTok, about their mum’s encounter with a gentle gypsy girl, peaceful but unexplained. And finally, one of the darkest stories yet. A listener describes an evil man forming within smoke, a presence that felt deliberate and deeply unsettling. All stories are real. All sent in by listeners.

    One House, Three Exorcisms, and a Trail of Terrified Professionals!

    Black flies in winter. Footsteps in empty rooms. Medical staff watching a child do something that should not be physically possible. The Ammons “Demon House” case is one of the most modern, most documented, and most divisive hauntings in recent history, with police, child services, doctors, and a priest all pulled into the same nightmare. In this episode of The Darkling Chronicles, we go through the case like a documentary, not a campfire story. Witness statements, reported incidents, and the uncomfortable analysis in the middle, where it stops being entertainment and starts feeling a bit too real. If you like your paranormal with evidence, controversy, and the kind of dread that sits in your chest afterwards, you’re in the right place.

    The Grey Lady of Church Close

    In this episode, I take a step away from the usual ghostly tales to share something a little more personal: why I first fell into the world of the paranormal. From childhood moments that never quite made sense to the strange, comforting pull of the unexplained, this off-piste detour gives you a glimpse behind the stories and into the heart of why I do what I do. If you’ve ever wondered what draws someone to the shadows, this one’s for you. Turn the lights down, get comfortable, and let’s go back to where it all began.
