Customer Reviews
Some dude’s opinion on said podcast.
Good independent podcast. It’s slow to start but they find a good grove. The stories are entertaining and told kind of matter-of-factly without all they hype and dramatization you’d find from “scary story” type podcasts. The interviews are great and informative for more than just an Ohio audience. A really great podcast if you’re looking for something to listen to with kids and introduce them to topics from the other side of the vale.
Fun new show
Great podcast highlighting ghost stories and urban legends around Ohio and beyond. The ladies are great, they have fun while talking about the topics like shring weird things they saw or sharing listener ghost stories. Feels like having friends over talking about spooky things.
