“Great tales, only I wonder if the voice is AI? I often think it’s Steve but then in one story NAAFI was not pronounced as ‘Naffi’, as it should be… it sounded odd… brilliant otherwise!”

“This is my favourite podcast! I’m very picky about what podcasts I listen to, and voice is everything. Steve has a voice that is easy to listen to. He draws you in to the story. My only complaint is that it feels like forever before the next episode!!! I can’t get enough of this podcast!”

“The stories are excellent and well narrated. I don’t mind the music and sound effects. Loses a point for way too much chit chat at the start of the episodes. I don’t mind a couple of minutes but pushing 6-10 minutes with a minute long music intro is overbearing. Shame as the stories are presented...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast , I find them really calming to listen to. I especially like the listener stories . Would be five stars but the sound fx of people screaming etc cheapens the listen . But overall a really good show”

“This is chilling story delivery with excellent research and writing. There isn’t a podcast like this because its format straddles so much: deep dives, listener stories, short haunts etc. The stories are absorbing and beautifully paced. Cannock Chase and the time slip episodes are my favourite....”Read full review »

“So glad I found your podcast. I love straight-up stories of hauntings. No dissection of whether it’s a real ghost nor any meaningless chatter from the host! Thank you!”

“Loved the story and the narrators voice but the constant dramatic background music was really distracting. I’m not sure I could listen to another episode which is disappointing as I love the content.”

“It’s SO hard to find a podcast where the casters are focused on the story and not their ego! This podcast is so easy to listen to, with a constant cadence and respect for the topic. I’m a listener from the US and I love all topics ancient, medieval and castles! Thank you 👍”

“As a long time fan of supernatural/ paranormal podcasts, I can honestly say, this is THE BEST! Always THE most varied & interesting content, gripping, succinct, perfect narration & satisfying length, with so much more info (& less faff) than Uncanny (which I also adore). Honestly -...”Read full review »

“Why do some of these podcasters all sound like an AI generated voice? It’s grim and grating. How on Earth are some of these good reviews okay with listening to a dull monotone voice? Oh and a huge chunk of the intro is him begging for money and selling cheaply made merch in the guise of needing...”Read full review »

“SIX MINUTES OF NONSENSE BEFORE THE STORIES START! And Why does the narrator make such an exaggerated deep breath in before speaking?? So affected and makes it unlistenable, especially with the stupid sound effects.”

“It’s like the narrator has always known how to read but has been given a book for the first time. I don’t expect MR James but all the stories I heard were very obviously made up and not very good. The unwelcome music and sound effects complete the distinctly average picture. There are a lot of...”Read full review »

“Amazing episode but a theory that was not mentioned was time slips. In the haunted forest in Romania hikers have disappeared only to show up hours or days later thinking they have only been gone an hour. Perhaps the experienced hiker could not find the lodge cause he stepped back in time where...”Read full review »
