What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Listened to this show from the first episode. Stories were interesting with a few that were legitimately chilling. Unfortunately, the show became ad heavy and the production value slipped. Poor sound quality, awkward editing and unclean cuts distract to the point that it’s a tough listen. With the number of professional quality paranormal podcasts flooding the space, a show needs to stand out and unfortunately, this one just doesn’t anymore.

CS_Pennywise · Aug 2026

It’s the best paranormal podcast. I’ve listened to every episode and have heard tons of other podcasts in the genre. By far the stories stand out for being delivered so well, and the host (Kev) is so enjoyable. I’d love to hear segments or another show from him that’s casual/conversational like his old one, We Need to Talk about Ghosts. I’ve often thought of sharing my own stories, and if I ever do send them to a podcast, it’ll be this one. Love!

lidamoonrose · Nov 2025

Best and most intriguing podcast out there! These stories are fascinating as well as creepy. I look forward to every episode you release!

Nofxch1ck · Oct 2025

I am a paranormal agnostic, but honestly I guess we all are. Kev does justice to every story he tells and I find his voice to be relaxing and almost asmr. I listen at work, while doing chores, cooking dinner. I am addicted.

Abrasiverocker · Apr 2025

This podcast could be intriguing but there are too many ads to keep me interested. Takes too long to get the story going and then there are the three minute interruptions. I understand you have sponsors but it just does not work for me

Country012 · Aug 2026

Kev- I've listened to this pod since its inception. I truly appreciate your hard work and success. That being said, I simply cannot continue to listen due to all of the BS commercials. On a fixed income, I cannot afford to pay for a subscription simply to save 5-7 minutes per episode. The quality and authenticity of the show has suffered since adding so many interruptions. I wish you the best of luck in the future.
