Ever since Judith’s lifelong best friend, Claire Sterback, inherited a house from a biological family she never knew, things have begun to change. Claire has begun to change. It isn’t just that the house is full of cryptic notebooks, ominous scribblings on the wall, and has a basement that is colder than it should be. It isn’t just that Claire abruptly up and left her live-in boyfriend and is now being stalked by a psychopathic realtor. Claire is… off. As she gets closer to a secret at the heart of the old house in the Toronto neighbourhood of Parkdale, she is also getting closer to losing herself. After Claire goes missing - with the help of co-worker-turned-friend-Owen - Judith vies to track her down, even if it means diving into a history that may have been better left untouched.

22: POLLARD
POLLARD: to cut off the top and branches of (a tree) to encourage new growth at the top; a deer which has cast its antlers.
There's nothing worse than an ex who won't let go, aside from an ex who sends their friends over to your place to try to get you to stay. Wait, did I say "stay"? I meant "be attacked by eldritch nightmare beings."
It's the next morning, and the hangover is real. Like, it's real but also metaphorical. Everyone's feeling rough, but that won't stop Lydia. She waits for no one.

Alex Nursall as Judith

23: MALISON
MALISON: (archaic) a curse.
There is a certain amount of vulnerability you need to be able to have with someone to share a bed with them, to share a space, to go out in public unapologetically. There is a certain amount of courage and foolhardiness one must have to do these things while a plume of smoke starts to waft in your direction, as the winds change and the fires come ever closer.
Judith, Claire, and Owen attempt tiny bits of normalcy while surrounded by an ever tightening ring of fire around them. The air grows thick and dark and all Judith wants is for things to be ok again (and also to have roasted fingerling potatoes). Is that so much to ask?
Featuring the voices of:
Emily Kellogg as Claire
Alex Nursall as Judith
Ian Boddy as Owen
Jocelyn Dotta as Lydia
Amy Bowman as Tabitha
Harlan Guthrie as Martin
Brad Alexander as Gary
and Zoë Stoll as the Woman at the Market

24: ERE LONG
ERE LONG: (archaic) before long; soon.
Claire lets off some steam while Judith and Owen go antique shopping. What? Not everything is doom and gloom, only most things. Sometimes you just have to take a little walk and see what the day brings you (and sometimes that thing is... a singing fish? Am I reading this right? Ok, whatever).

25: TORSION
TORSION: the state of being twisted.
There are plenty of good things about your university days, but spending time in the big sterile libraries is rarely one. It's especially not great if you're perusing the occult section while someone keeps an eye on you. There are eyes in the shelves, eyes in the halls, and eyes in the house... watching, always watching.

Emily Kellogg as Claire
Alex Nursall as Judith
Ian Boddy as Owen
Jocelyn Dotta as Lydia
Amy Bowman as Tabitha

26: IRASCIBLE
IRASCIBLE: having or showing a tendency to be easily angered.
What lives in the basement of your mind? What do the voices in your head say to you in the dark? How deep do those fears go and what will you do the day you come face to face with them? You can't run. You can only listen.

Customer Reviews
Not a super sophisticated plot a first, but…
Not a super sophisticated plot at first, but just when you think it’s going to turn out predictable, it completely shatters any predictions you might have had. Plus, it’s easy to listen to which makes it great for bedtime when you’re only half listening but don’t want to miss out on any important details. I probably wouldn’t recommend listening to this in bed if you get spooked easily or have nightmares, though. This podcast gets unexpectedly weird and spooky with voices you probably wouldn’t want to carry over into your dreams. Aside from that, I also really appreciate the original backstory and the clear, straight-to-the point narration. I swear, some of these podcasters think that the more you try to jam into dialogues/monologues (from the overuse of imagery to unnecessary sound effects and painfully slow narration) to make up for the lack of a screen. This doesn’t do that, though, and I really appreciate it. Although, I will say that the staticky noises over some of the characters’ voices does become annoying after a while; however, you’ll find that the noises are an important part to the story, so it’s bearable to that extent.
Love this show!
It’s like a found footage podcast, and lots of fun while also being quite scary! I also love the friendship between Owen and Judith, and how they haven’t turned it into a predictable romance.
The best horror podcast!
A perfect mix of horror with characters you care about!!
