Haunting Season is a weekly Podcast, produced by Believe Limited and Matt Gielen and hosted by Joshua Sterling Bragg and Cody Dugan. The show was originally built as a digital campfire around which to tell scary stories. Bragg launched Haunting Season in February of 2013 and released one compact paranormal story per week. By the end of 2015 Haunting Season had gained 16K subscribers. The show went on hiatus for undisclosed reasons but has remained on Bragg’s mind these past five years….

Today, the show faces a new chapter as an audio/ video podcast. The reimagined Haunting Season keeps storytelling at its core with a two part original story every month (best listened to in the dark with headphones). The Haunting Season story experience is meant to fully engage your senses - with a high quality 360 degree audio journey that is built to transport, transfix, and (occasionally) terrify listeners.

In addition to the HS story experience, Josh is joined by Co-Host (radio personality and fellow horror enthusiast) Cody Dugan. Together they talk about what they find scary and to people that have experienced the paranormal first hand. They will talk about the historic hauntings and how beliefs in the paranormal vary between different cultures. They also review supernatural films and books, speak with fear-topic authors and filmmakers, and occasionally take a look back at the HS archive of scary stories…. and (super) naturally, live shows can be expected around annual haunting traditions such as All Hallow’s Eve.

Haunting Season isn’t just about scares, it’s about facing the unknown and taking a deep look at some of life’s most challenging unanswered questions… the afterlife, the sensory fog of feeling something just out of reach…. The show is for truth seekers, skeptics and genre-fans alike - and for anyone that has ever been transfixed while aiming to answer the question: what happens after you die?

Great Atmosphere

I was a bit iffy at first but after listening to a few of the stories I warmed up to the story telling style. The sound effects and background music combined with the narration are very entrancing and perfect to get me in the mood for spooky season!

Great storytelling!

The stories keep me on the edge of my seat.

the Cap of homes ,

Dove’s Haunting void filled

There is nothing better than a good story teller, there is something golden here! In the years I’ve been alive I’ve enjoyed spoken word horror stories. In my youth it used to be on radio, that time has ended and it’s been ages since it was available. Download Haunting season
, filling the void on a timeless beloved favorite for folklore and spooky stories you’ll love!
