Good, but still needs to find its "voice".
After 16 episodes (over 8 months) I feel the podcast is still trying to its feet. So far episodes can split into two different types; interviews with people who’ve had supernatural/paranormal experiences and episodes discussing established stories. While most those interviewed in the interview style episodes are friends or friends of friends of the presenters, they are moving away from this now that they have a growing listenership. The interview episodes are the better episodes. The highlight of the podcast so far is The Laughing Indian episode which gave me the chills! As a note, when interviewees are recounting stories the podcast does use incidental music and sound effects to add atmosphere. So might find this distracting. The episodes discussing establishing stories don’t really offer anything new or massively insightful for those already interested in this subject matter, but I still enjoy hearing these stories recounted. The presenters come across well and the production levels are good. This isn’t a skeptical podcast, but neither is it a straight up “believer” podcast. There isn’t really any in-depth analysis of the stories told, but that isn’t really what the podcast is about – it is about getting the stories told.

Found this little gem and am so glad! I love the concept and was happily surprised to find they kept it really interesting! Other podcasts with a similar idea seem to ramble, this one keeps my interest. I feel like there are so many more amazing topics in their future. Can't wait to hear more!Read full review »

Don't be put off by the skull-like logo. This Podcast is actually more thoughtful than this cliched image suggests. Various mysteries are discussed with intelligence and gentle humour. Constantly improving. Love it.Read full review »
