    Discomfort Room: Stories of Haunted Bathrooms

    Alright, I know it sounds silly - haunted bathrooms? Really? BUT, think of how many paranormal games take place in there. Think of the iconic horror movie scenes. There's something about bathrooms that make them ripe for hauntings, and that's what we'll be exploring in this week’s episode.
    First, I tell the tale of a camper who encountered a boy scout late one night. Then, I share the story of a home that had a permanent resident in the bathroom. Then, I narrate the story of a mysterious childlike entity peeking over a stall. And finally, I tell the tale of a house plagued by inhuman energies.

Amazing

Words cannot explain! I was hooked on something scary because of you! Was sad when you left but here you are!!! My seven year old daughter even loves you! She’s actually the one who found your podcast 😮

Sound quality needs adjustment

Please fix the sound! Perhaps integrating a pop filter? The hissing sound when she says s’s and c’s is hard to listen to.

🥳🤩😘🥰😍 ,

Love it!

I’ve been listening to something scary for a while, and I was sad when you left. I’m glad you made a new one!
