I’m so glad you’re back!!! The way you tell these stories is incredible. Love your content and you you blend everything together. I was worried you weren’t making episodes anymore…

Whenever I listen to one of Mike Brown s stories I fell like I ve been on an incredible journey through the past— through alley ways and along the shore, down a cobble stone street in the moonlight — all the while filling my senses with both the humanity of the time and those from the other side....Read full review »

Mike Brown is the most seasoned ghost tour guide in Charleston. His understated but masterful delivery of ghost stories is intoxicating. I was on one of his tours recently, and was so glad I could share the Lavinia Fisher story in Mike’s words instead of my own. (And holy heck, what a twist!) If...Read full review »

Mikes addictive storytelling has me glued! He knows how to get your attention and keep it for hours at a time! I’ve listened to all the Pleasing Terrors episodes more than 4 times! Update- I am currently listening to it again for the 6th time! I just can get enough of his storytelling! It is my...Read full review »

Favorite podcast ever. Sets the bar so high for me that I can’t quite get into other pods as much as this one. I hope he never stops producing content.

Just discovered this one rainy night in Australia. Brilliant podcast.
R. Yates via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/03/23
My favorite podcast I have ever run across. Got hooked after taking Mike’s ghost tour and have listened to the entire thing over and over again. This is my #1 podcast to recommend to everyone that asks. I would recommend the ghost tour to anyone around Charleston as well- Mike’s surpasses every...Read full review »
Endlessly Dissapointing. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/23
I got hooked on his podcast,Pleasing Terrors, early on. Then Mike had a terrible car accident and was unable to continue at that time. He is back now and, as a huge fan of his style, voice, and wordsmithing, I am thrilled! I hope to get to Charleston one day to see the city and take his acclaimed...Read full review »

I took one on his tours in Charleston. It was so good that it got me to listen to his podcasts. Mike is a great storyteller. And I am enjoying listening to all his podcasts.
Bhr897 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/28/22
Mike has a great way of weaving various lore and stories together as well as exploring logical and supernatural explanations for the events he shares. If you are ever in Charleston, SC check out his ghost tours too!

Thanks to Gen Why I found this amazing podcast. A wonderful twist of history, folklore, and origin information for a wonderful half hour. My only fault of this show is there aren’t enough and I wish they were longer because it leaves me wanting more!
Gwenny bug via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/11/22
I’ve listened to Mike for yearssss. His storytelling has been one of my most sought after in all podcast for lore, legends and all things ghosts. Finally, I was able to take his tour in Charleston, SC. And it was everything I expected and more. Mike is as gripping a storyteller in person as he is...Read full review »

Thank you for a great, fun and haunting Podcast!
Denise Seah via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/22
This is such a great podcast! I’m dying to hear more stories, and I keep checking back for more. Please don’t stop releasing content. This is excellent content without extraneous distractions. I can really focus and get into the stories. Awesome escape!
CPTxGrrl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/24/21
Drawing a comparison between drug addict felony Floyd and a good man like Duncan is far reaching and absurd ! Very political and bias. There was no reason for the riots that destroyed countless lives of families of all colors in so many cities . While the police got convicted , and 2 were...Read full review »

I love American Hauntings podcast with Troy Taylor and Cody Beck. Since their current season is over, I was randomly searching podcasts and came across an episode of HillBilly Horror Stories where you did an interview. I was definitely intrigued and now I’m currently binging your episodes. I find...Read full review »

Love the stories but the narration and eloquent story telling is unparalleled. Creepy, interesting and that quality that makes you not able to stop.
ReeRee68 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/13/21
The writer and narrator is one of the best creepy/good/scary/Haunting storytellers I’ve heard. Always excited to hear a new episode downloaded!!! Please come back. You have the most unique way to tell a story. It’s so good. Your stories are riveting; I really hope your writing new material or a...Read full review »
Ld11122 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/22/21
The writing is excellent, the narration is excellent, and he delves into parts of stories that most people don’t get into. And that’s what makes this podcast special: he has an agenda, an agenda of social justice, and he always puts everything in perspective. I love it!

So good!!
rukusbob via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/21
I first heard of Mike through his ghost tour in Charleston and enjoyed it. I found his podcast and over the last few days have listened to the first 5 episodes. One while I was working late at night around my house and it had me looking behind my back and made me scared to look out the windows to...Read full review »

I just listened to Here Are Dragons (29 Mar 2021 episode). All I can say is, wow. What a great story. Your research seems thorough. You present the information in a well thought out way. I kept wanting more on the story, and you just kept giving it. Totally transfixed. Great job and thank you....Read full review »

I recently took Mike’s ghost tour in Charleston, SC this past weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing him speak. His tour and podcasts are a refreshing, accurate perspective. He keeps you engaged and intrigued in each episode. Definitely needs more attention! I highly recommend Mike’s podcasts.
alexagraceh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/18/21
Mike Brown takes you on a journey in every episode and gives an original twist to timeless lore. Both informative and entertaining, Pleasing Terrors is easily one of the best podcasts of its type!
SirSoul via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/21
The most impressive planning and writing I’ve ever heard in a Podcast. Would love to hear it more frequently, but it’s likely right that I wait.
Jim Dug via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/01/21
Another fabulous episode. Great work.

Mike, I love the show. It’s one of the first podcasts I started listening to. The intro makes me feel nostalgic and warm. Thanks! Always happy to hear from you.
123FakeSt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/21
Love this podcast, and the way Mike tells the stories. We went on his walking ghost tour this weekend in Charleston, SC, and it did not disappoint either. Highly recommend this pod, and his ghost tour.

It’s all about how you tell a story that makes me sit still and listen, thank you 🙏🏽
Birchleaf2001 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/22/20
The presentation, excellent, the elocution quite good & the history interesting! Didn’t know much about the pirate/s influence in profiteering via terror. That is, than what I had learned how the English reformation indeed also had their hands in the pot.
tiatori via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/11/20
New episodes might not come out very often, but when they do, it is well worth the wait. I just finished the episode “Last Breath” and I am struck by the stunning combination of Mike’s powerful writing and his simple, understated presentation. His words have weight and he wields them beautifully....Read full review »

What Mike Brown does with this podcast is truly exceptional. I listen to a ton of horror/spooky/haunted history podcasts, and there are some incredible gems (Lore, Blurry Photos, Monsters Among Us), but Pleasing Terrors is the reigns supreme. Brown’s understanding os history offers great texture...Read full review »
