    Sasquatch
    Apr 15 2026
    Some nights in the wilderness feel alive. Not with animals, but with attention. In this gripping story, a solo backpacker in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest learns that the deepest parts of the Cascades still belong to something older, heavier, and far more curious than any human. It’s 1994, and a young hiker determined to prove her independence sets up camp miles beyond the marked trails. The forest is unnaturally still, the air thick and watchful. She wakes to the unmistakable sound of something circling her tent. Years later, she still avoids the deep woods. She reads the tribal stories, the missing‑hiker reports, the accounts, and she knows what she heard that night wasn’t a bear, wasn’t a hallucination, and wasn’t alone. Some places in the Pacific Northwest don’t belong to us. Some things still walk there, curious and heavy, just outside the glow of a dying fire.

    Some encounters don’t leave scars - they leave signals. In this unnerving long‑haul horror story, a former night‑shift lorry driver recounts the night the CB radio in his cab tuned into something that wasn’t human, wasn’t local, and wasn’t meant for earthly ears. It’s the late 1980s on a fog‑choked stretch of the M6. He's alone in his lorry, cycling through static to stay awake, when the noise begins - a rhythmic clicking pulse, like a Geiger counter finding something alive. Then comes the voice. What follows is a terrifying escalation. For listeners who love cosmic horror, roadside liminality, alien contact stories, and the terror of being noticed by something vast, this episode delivers a slow, existential dread that lingers long after the signal fades.

  • The Garden Gate

    The Garden Gate
    Apr 8 2026
    Some doors are meant to stay closed, and some gates open themselves. In this creeping, woodland‑rooted horror story, a quiet cottage on the edge of Blackwood becomes the site of a slow, deliberate haunting. What begins as a simple nuisance , a garden gate swinging open every night, turns into a terrifying encounter with something that moves without shape, breathes without lungs, and knows exactly how to slide a steel bolt back in the dark. This isn’t a ghost story. It’s a tracking story - about something older than the woods, something that marks those who witness it, and something that doesn’t stop once it chooses you. For listeners who love folk horror, unseen entities, woodland dread, and stories where the predator is patient, this episode delivers a slow, suffocating terror that follows you long after the gate swings open.

  • I'm Still Here

    I'm Still Here
    Apr 5 2026
    What starts as a quiet evening becomes a slow, suffocating descent into dread when an African Grey parrot begins speaking in a voice no living person could produce. In this unnerving story, Apollo’s usual cheerful chatter is replaced by rasping whispers. Its behaviour shifts - pacing at night, staring down the hallway toward the perpetually cold guest room, warning not to look behind them. Every attempt at rationality fails: no carbon monoxide, no intruder, no tragic building history. Just a parrot who seems to be listening to something no one else can hear. And then, just as suddenly as it began, the voice stops. For listeners who love domestic horror, uncanny animal behaviour, and stories where the supernatural hides in the mundane, this episode delivers a creeping dread that settles under your skin and refuses to leave.

  • The Old Well

    The Old Well
    Apr 1 2026
    Some wells don’t just hold water. In this chilling spooky story, a teenage girl spends a sweltering summer at her Great‑Aunt Martha’s isolated Valley home, where the air feels thick enough to drown in and the locals whisper about an ancient fieldstone well known only as The Sieve. Natalie is bored enough to ignore every instinct telling her to stay away from the ring of dead oaks behind the garden. When she slides the well’s rotting wooden lid open, the darkness inside feels alive. Dropping a quartz stone should have produced a splash. Instead, she unlocks something much darker. For listeners who love folklore‑rooted horror, rural dread, and stories where the earth itself feels sentient, this episode delivers a slow, suffocating terror that follows you long after you leave the woods.

  • White Van Man

    White Van Man
    Mar 29 2026
    Routine is supposed to make life feel safe - the school run, the familiar streets, the predictable rhythm of weekday mornings. But for one exhausted young mother, routine becomes the perfect hunting ground for something that shouldn’t exist. In this unnerving spooky story, a white van begins appearing behind the her car every morning. Not close. Not threatening. Just there — two cars back, turning when she turns, idling when she idles. At first, she rationalizes it. Then she tests it. And when the van follows her through three pointless right turns, the fear becomes impossible to ignore. What follows is a slow, suffocating descent into obsession. Was it a stalker? A vehicle with a fake plate? Or something that slips through the blind spots of ordinary life, feeding on patterns, waiting to be noticed? For listeners who love slow‑burn paranoia, uncanny everyday horror, and stories where the mundane becomes monstrous, this episode lingers long after the engine goes quiet.

    The Organist
    Mar 25 2026
    A tired veterinary intern seeks quiet in an old Norman church, and finds a presence that never stopped rehearsing when a late‑night visit to St. Jude’s turns from solace into dread when she sees a gaunt woman in the locked organ loft, her hands pantomiming frantic playing above the keys. The vicar reveals the church’s secret: Elspeth Vance. If you like: atmospheric church hauntings; slow‑burn supernatural encounters; first‑person confessional horror; stories about obsession and the things left behind when someone can’t let go - press play.

  • The Return of the Tide

    The Return of the Tide
    Mar 22 2026
    Some encounters don’t fade with time - they wait, like a tide pulling itself back toward shore. In this chilling spooky story, a former cannery worker recalls the night he crossed paths with something that should have been lost to the Atlantic decades earlier. It’s 1992 on a fog‑choked Maine wharf, long after closing time. With rain turning the roads to sludge, he takes a forbidden shortcut across a rotting pier. Under a flickering sodium lamp, he hears it first: a dragging, uneven gait. Then he sees the figure... Some things lost at sea don’t stay lost. For listeners who love maritime horror, ghostly returns, and stories where the past refuses to stay buried beneath the waves, press play.
