Blackwood

by Skylark | Wondery

Five years ago, Molly Weaver, Bryan Anderson, and Nathan Howell started a podcast focused on the local legend of a monster called The Blackwood Bugman. Quickly, the investigation grows out of their control, as they discover that, not only are the legends seemingly true, many people in Blackwood have turned up dead or disappeared without a trace. Worse, there may be a reason why no one has ever uncovered the truth before. Someone is watching them, willing to do whatever it takes to keep the secret. Their recordings have finally been released. Directed by Mark Freiburger Produced by April Lamb Written by Will Rogers

I love scary stories, scary movies, all things horror. I feel like I've become a little desensitized to it. I just started the first episode and the moment of realization/reveal about "what" the Bug Man really is just gave me full on goosebumps. I had to leave a review right away. Absolutely loving this so far!

I’m a bit of a podcast snob. I love the idea of podcasts, but I have a hard time finding content that actually gets me invested. However, Blackwood had me hooked from the start. Once I started I couldn’t bring myself to stop listening! I can honestly say that this podcast is the best I have ever found. The production quality is high, the story is incredible, the characters are easy to connect with, and it does not try to compensate for lack of creativity through excessive language. I cannot express how impressed I am with Blackwood. I hope to see it resurrected for another season soon!

When I first started listening to this podcast I thought it was just another teen fiction podcast . . . yawn. But it is really well done! The acting is excellent! And the storyline is really intriguing! I highly recommend this one!

I had heard poor things about this podcast, so I didn’t make a point to listen. I’m glad I did, definitely worth a listen. Interesting themes that don’t rely on easy ways out like other horror/drama podcasts. I would listen to a second season.
