Customer Reviews
Atmospheric and engaging
I have been loving this series. Currently listening to the summer special.
It’s obvious the host Danny is fascinated and passionate about the guests and their stories. The theme music from Lantern on the Lake is in my head all day and night, and adds a thrilling mood to the show. I highly recommend this podcast!!!
I am a fan of Bafflegab, because of the Paul Magrs series they produce with supernatural comedy starring folks such as Tom Baker and Colin Baker.
Believe it not
From the 1st episode I was hooked. The host is a delight. I love the examination from opposite angles. And I realized I love the sound effects. It makes me think of what it might have been like when radio stereo-telling was all there was (no tv). The topics are interesting. The guests are compelling. Whether one believes in the paranormal or not, it is not only great entertainment, it leaves me with a sense of deeper curiosity.
This show changed my mind.
So I’m 40 and never quite understood why anyone would waste time listening to podcasts. I’ve heard more than a few and am almost always disappointed. Be it due to poor presenters, awful production quality, boring topics, and a cascade of other reasons. Having said all of that, this show is different. Danny is a chef’s kiss of a presenter, the episodes are never boring, the professionalism is unmatched, and I absolutely love the explanation through both the eyes of a skeptic and believer. I’m still not sure if ghosts are real but I am sure that I’m not going to miss a single episode.
