What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve been a listener for many years, listened to the whole backlog before it got stuck behind a paywall. In the last few months it seems like every single caller is talking about their religious beliefs, specifically Christian, and that is getting old very quickly. It is off-putting and repetitive, making for a very dull listening experience. Sorry to say I’ll likely be unsubscribing soon. I don’t care that people have spiritual beliefs, everyone has their own system and that’s lovely. But this was not intended to be a religious-focused show and it has become that way.

Do you want some real life paranormal stories? Here is the podcast for you!! Sometimes spooky and creepy. Sometimes you are left asking “what?” I have been listening for years and recommend this podcast to anyone. Try it, you just might like it.

Jules Buggington · Jan 2026

The actual people tell their own stories. No one reading stories and trying to dramatize them. Real people who sound natural. Jim does a good job relaxing them.

Robincroft · Dec 2025

I always get to the end of the 90 mins and think “it’s over already!?” Time flies when you’re listening to folks share their true spooky encounters. I love the call in format, Jim is a great host, easy going and kind. It’s also clean family listening. My kids LOVED listening to this show on our way to a over night camping trip, and it inspired lots of conversations and discussions. Highly recommend to pass the time or share with family and friends. First class podcast. Worth getting the paid subscription!

JFWS2010 · Dec 2024

I used to love this podcast, and I appreciated the content quality as well as listening to people who could actually string sentences together. I don’t know what’s going on now, and I hope Jim and team are okay and it’s not a larger life issue, but this podcast is cheesy, lackluster, and full of too many eye-rolling stories about dreams and dead pets. I used to get chills listening to this podcast, and now I find myself fast-forwarding through most of the stories. I’m also sick of Jim telling the same personal anecdotes on repeat, interrupting his callers with said anecdotes,and giving too much air/screen time to troubled people. Jim seems to have lost his spark and the podcast reflects it.
