I LOVE ghost stories and urban legends. Mainly because they’re fun but they also gives us insights to the local history. I love that Josh researches the origins and true facts of the events that sparked the stories. To me it adds a fullness and completeness to them. Love love love it!

I’ve just discovered this podcast and I must say it’s excellent. I’m really enjoying the format with the folktale/mythology/urban legend but up front and then the historical deep dive afterwards. I’ve been listening to podcasts for several years now (though on Overcast, not iTunes) and this is...Read full review »

LOVE this podcast. Josh is such a good host, and I love his personable and conversational manner. The research and archival aspect to the show sets it apart from other true crime/ ghost story podcasts.

The host Josh does a fantastic job at articulating details of folklore and gives factual historical information to back up or debunk these tales. This podcast is fun, intriguing and informative. Perfect for the spooky lovers, true crime obsessed & history buffs.

The host is delightful, and the second part of each episode where he uses newspaper archives, census records and various other library resources to piece together the probable truth behind the stories is really, really interesting.

I really enjoyed your narration. Your voice was easy to listen to and was smooth. Your technique really kept me enthralled in the story. The story was very interesting. I love the way you let us feel what you’re feeling while narrating. I think that is probably my favorite part to be honest. You...Read full review »

As a Buffalo-area horror audio drama concerned with crimes, the supernatural, and COVID, we figured we were a pretty niche deal. But apparently we're not alone as we thought we were out here, because we finally found someone who seems to spend as much time frantically googling "Sadie...Read full review »

This podcast is a perfect, interesting, and informative mix of history, folklore, anthropology, genealogy, archives, and ghost stories. I love the related Instagram page where I can see some of the original documents referred to in the podcast. Keep up the good work!

Just listened to the Murder Creek Episode and I’m already hooked. Fantastic story telling and it’s clear how much research Joshua has put into it. Can’t wait to see this podcast grow.

I’m an English major and am also pursuing a minor in history. I love researching and analyzing both historical and literary documents. I also dabble in and out of witchy things here and there, so this podcast is seemingly right up my alley. I’ve enjoyed the first episode so far and can’t wait to...Read full review »
