Oh my gooooooood I ❤️ this a lot a lot a lot! I am your biggest fan ever! I have a scary story but it’s not real. I still want it to be in the show, tho, because there is a little bit of real parts. Before I do this, I want y’all to know, ILY! Ok, let’s go! One time there was a girl named, let’s say, Hannah, and she was living with her grandparents. She had to live with her grandparents because her dad died while working on the road, and her mom is in the hospital, trying to not die from cancer. So she was like almost a orphan. Anyways, her grandparents were acting really weird and scared because it’s scary, you know? So whenever she talked about scary stuff happening around the house. One time while she was getting out of the tree she was climbing, and looked down. Btw, she was in her yard. Ok, so, she looks down and sees a little girl, who she’s never seen before, and says hi, cuz she wants to be friends and invistigate, but right when she hops down, the girl disappears. She looks confused, but brushes it off. Then she comes in and tells her grandparents what happened, cuz this just happened. Her grandparents are freaking out and her grandma is just pacing around and saying “oh my god. oh my GOD!” Then Hannah starts to freak out and says “What? WHAT?!” Then her grandparents look at each other and look back at Hannah. Her grandma gave in and says “Fine. Ok. I’ll tell you.” She starts the story about a girl named Sofie. (SO-fe.) Sofie lived with her mom and dad, Shannon and Chad. Her parents one day got mad at her and dragged her to the biggest tree in the backyard, and BEAT HER UP! Like, dude! I know this is the 1840s, but DONT BEAT UP YOUR KID! Ok, so anyway, she was beat to death. A few days later, the parents disappeared. Nobody saw them EVER AGAIN. Once the story finished, Hannah ran to her room. Then saw the girl again. She ran to the kitchen, and there she was. Then the bathroom, right there! So she runs EVERYWHERE in the house, and in every room, she was there. Her grandparents are just watching. And then she runs straight into the wall that had a knife ON THE WALL, just a second, I still have NO IDEA why a knife would be there. So ANYWAY, she dies INSTANTLY. And thats when the story ends. Ok, BYE BESTIES!!! LOVE U BYE.

I found this podcast a few yrs ago, and I’ve listened to it more than twice. I do think it’s geared to a specific crowd. This is cozy, silly paranormal. The hosts banter and joke which feels more like sitting around a fire with friends. 10/10 will listen to the hundreds of episodes again.

One of my favorite (not so) spooky pods. Katy’s accent/character work is truly incredible and makes me laugh out loud in public.
