AFTER DARK | True Scary, Paranormal, Ghost, Supernatural & Mysterious Stories

by True Crime, Mysteries, Paranormal, Unexplained, True Scary Stories

The Whispering Woods: After Dark was formerly known as Obscurata. It is still the place for the darker stories. The unsolved cases, strange disappearances, true crime, occult history, paranormal reports and unexplained events that don’t quite fit anywhere else. Each episode looks at the stories that linger after the lights go out. Some are rooted in crime. Some in folklore. Some in witness accounts, old reports, rumours, fear and the things people have never been able to fully explain. Different name. Same dark corners. Brought to you by the creators of The Whispering Woods. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
