  • The Perpetual Glow

    The Perpetual Glow
    Jan 14 2026
    I thought I knew every inch of Black Peak, until a lantern‑bright glow appeared in the fog and began moving toward me, like it had been waiting. This is the one hike I can’t explain away. I’d spent years on those mountains, confident, experienced, unshakeable. But the day the fog rolled in, I saw a warm, amber light drifting through the trees, too steady to be a reflection, and too old‑fashioned to be a headlamp. I followed it at first, thinking it was another hiker. Then it stopped responding to my calls. Then it circled me. Silently. Perfectly. Like it wasn’t being carried at all. This is the closest I’ve ever come to believing the mountains hold something older than us. If you love eerie wilderness encounters, ghost‑light legends, or stories where nature feels alive and watching, press play.

  • The Tall Man

    The Tall Man
    Jan 11 2026
    I thought sleep deprivation was making me see things... until my baby started smiling at something pacing in the nursery, and toys began coming back with fingerprints too big to be his. This is the story I’ve never said out loud. It started with a shadow on the baby monitor. I tried to explain it away - bad lighting, exhaustion, anything rational - but then Leo began giggling at things I couldn’t see, and offering his toys to someone who wasn’t there. Someone he calls The Tall Man. This is a quiet, unsettling account of early motherhood, sleep deprivation, and the creeping dread of something unseen taking an interest in your child. If you’re drawn to domestic hauntings, eerie nursery stories, or the uncanny presence of imaginary friends who feel a little too real, press play.

  • The Empty Stall

    The Empty Stall
    Jan 7 2026
    I heard someone sobbing in the stall next to mine in the campus bathroom. When security opened the door, the stall was empty. Locked, silent, and impossible. I still feel the cold tile under my slippers and the echo of that hysterical wail. It was finals week, the library a fluorescent tomb, and the crying started soft and private before escalating into a raw, terrified sound that made my skin crawl. But there was nothing - no backpack, no jacket, no sign anyone had been inside. The memory has followed me ever since: the sudden, aggressive absence where a person had just been, and the way the room went from frantic noise to impossible quiet in a heartbeat. I’m still not sure what I heard - an actual person, a sound carried through pipes, or something else. If you’re drawn to campus hauntings, press play and listen close.

  • The Driver Who Knew Everything

    The Driver Who Knew Everything
    Jan 4 2026
    I got into a ride‑share after my car broke down and the driver called me by my full name - my private middle name - and then told me he’d been waiting for this ride. I ran. I’m still running. I’m telling this because it happened to me and because I need other women to hear what can happen when a stranger knows more than they should. One ordinary Tuesday night my car died on the M2. A black Audi arrived, the driver said my name like he owned it, and then he started reciting details about my life that no app should know. When I tried to get out, the door was locked. I escaped by throwing myself from the car and running across gravel. The police found the car abandoned; the driver vanished. This episode is a tight, urgent account of that ride: the small, chilling moments that made my skin crawl, the instant I realized this wasn’t a routine pickup, and the raw panic of getting out alive. If you listen to safety stories, true‑crime warnings, or tense personal horror, press play.

  • My Last New Year: The Toast that Changed My Life

    My Last New Year: The Toast that Changed My Life
    Dec 31 2025
    A stranger at a crowded bar raised a crystal flute and toasted me with three words... “to your last New Year,” then vanished. That toast has been the drumbeat of my life for a year. I’m telling this quietly because I don’t want to invite more attention, only to share what it’s like to live under a sentence. One midnight, a man in an impossibly sharp suit appeared beside my booth, offered a single, chilling toast, and left behind a heavy crystal flute. Since then I’ve quit drinking, lost my job, and turned every day into a ritual to avoid whatever he meant. I’ve had tests, scoured forums, and catalogued every near‑miss as if it were a clue. The calendar has become a cliff. This episode is an account of paranoia and prophecy: the night itself, the months that followed, and the small, obsessive measures I’ve taken to survive. If you’re drawn to tense, psychological horror - prophecies, ominous strangers, and the slow erosion of normal life - press play and listen close. I’m counting down the days, and I need you to hear this.

  • We Are Happy: My Uninvited Guest

    We Are Happy: My Uninvited Guest
    Dec 28 2025
    I came home one evening to find my keys on the kitchen counter and my slippers arranged like a message. By the time I hid a camera, the footage showed someone who looked exactly like me, living my life, smoothing my comforter, and leaving a strand of dark hair on my shoes. I’m terrified, and I need you to hear this. For six months my apartment has been subtly rearranged. Small, intimate intrusions at first. A strand of hair that wasn’t mine. A hidden nanny cam that captured a version of me walking in and acting like she belongs. I’m not sure whether I’m being gaslit, stalked, or haunted, but I’m done staying silent. This is a story about identity, invasion, and the uncanny terror of being replaced in your own life. If you like tense, intimate horror that blends psychological dread with uncanny phenomena, doppelgängers, domestic hauntings, and the slow erosion of safety, press play.

  • Belfry's Bell: The Salted Hand’s Toll

    Belfry's Bell: The Salted Hand’s Toll
    Dec 24 2025
    Windward is a coastal village where the sea keeps a terrible bargain. A single, monstrous bell toll at 3 a.m. names the next soul to be claimed by an ancient covenant, and this time, I became the unwilling successor to the Salted Hand. What begins as local folklore unfolds into a visceral, maritime horror: a belfry stained with brine, a dragging sound from the dark, and a cold, salt‑scented mark on the narrator’s hand that marks the passing of a burden no one can refuse. Listeners who enjoy coastal folklore, ritualistic hauntings, and stories where place itself demands sacrifice will find this episode haunting and unforgettable. Press play to feel the bell’s resonance and follow a tale about covenants, the weight of inherited duty, and the way the sea keeps its promises. ------------ Beth's Spooky Story Time is your new favourite horror podcast, best enjoyed alone with headphones.

  • The Man in the Red Suit: A Christmas Horror

    The Man in the Red Suit: A Christmas Horror
    Dec 21 2025
    Havenwood’s quaint December charm hides a ritual that chills the town to its bones. Each Christmas Eve, a reclusive resident dons an immaculate scarlet suit and walks the streets in silence. At first a local eccentric, his midnight rounds become something far darker when families begin to change, children fall ill, and a tiny carved token appears on a windowsill. But one year, Arthur stops outside my home. A perfectly carved wooden mouse is left at the window, etched with the initials A.F. and the single word NICE. That small object becomes a terrifying guarantee and a parent’s ultimatum: keep their child on the right side of Arthur’s inscrutable tally or face consequences no one can explain. This episode blends folklore and domestic horror, exploring how a silent figure in a red suit can become an arbiter of fate. Is Arthur Finch is a protector, a judge, or something far worse?
