Haunting stories from different cultures. Love to listen to in the dark. Stories are well written and read beautifully.

Go4th! · May 2025

Great storytelling with many stories from around the world that haven’t shown up on other podcasts. Refreshing to hear stories and view points from other cultures. Very enjoyable and fast becoming one of my favorites.

Brians_schmu · Dec 2024

So glad I found this podcast! I love true scary stories and I have been searching for this exact format. Just one guy telling a story in a calm and soothing voice.

TSheeRN · Oct 2024

Edwin is the best storyteller I have ever heard of! His voice is soothing and distracts me from the spookiness im hearing 😅! Also helps me to doze off to sleep and a scary podcast ive been searching for years.

Serenesixties · Oct 2024

Please give more of a warning beforehand. These stories aren’t rated explicit, but they are not child appropriate. This would be a great podcasts for adults and teens, but no thank you for me, a mere 11 year old.
