Customer Reviews
Love this podcast!
Scary & spooky without a “wink & a nod.” Sincere stories. Do I believe all of them? Probably not. However, I do think that the storytellers authentically believe in what they experienced. It’s mesmerizing! Thank you, Danny!
I don’t fall for spookcasts …
Mark Gatiss has a live one on his hand. This pod makes this it’s doubly hard to believe in what’s already hard to sink me in. But the lure is so pretty, it’s a carrot l can’t resist. The host is creepy enough, it doesn’t take a lot to resist its serine song to be ensnare me. In the words of Marlene Dietrich: ‘maybe too hot for you’
Danny is awesome! This pod is awesome
Soooo, what else can l say that I have not said on twitter. If you are even remotely interested in the paranormal- check this pod out. I wish I could go to uncannyfest (Hey Danny .. Any chances of coming to Texas?! Ahh, a girl can dream!) please keep them coming!!!!!! Much love from the Lone Star State xoxo.
