The Garden Gate
08/04/2026 | 10 min
Some doors are meant to stay closed, and some gates open themselves.

In this creeping, woodland‑rooted horror story, a quiet cottage on the edge of Blackwood becomes the site of a slow, deliberate haunting. What begins as a simple nuisance , a garden gate swinging open every night, turns into a terrifying encounter with something that moves without shape, breathes without lungs, and knows exactly how to slide a steel bolt back in the dark.

This isn’t a ghost story. It’s a tracking story - about something older than the woods, something that marks those who witness it, and something that doesn’t stop once it chooses you.

For listeners who love folk horror, unseen entities, woodland dread, and stories where the predator is patient, this episode delivers a slow, suffocating terror that follows you long after the gate swings open.

Not for kids - listener discretion advised.

I'm Still Here
05/04/2026 | 8 min
What starts as a quiet evening becomes a slow, suffocating descent into dread when an African Grey parrot begins speaking in a voice no living person could produce.

In this unnerving story, Apollo’s usual cheerful chatter is replaced by rasping whispers. Its behaviour shifts - pacing at night, staring down the hallway toward the perpetually cold guest room, warning not to look behind them. Every attempt at rationality fails: no carbon monoxide, no intruder, no tragic building history. Just a parrot who seems to be listening to something no one else can hear.

And then, just as suddenly as it began, the voice stops.

For listeners who love domestic horror, uncanny animal behaviour, and stories where the supernatural hides in the mundane, this episode delivers a creeping dread that settles under your skin and refuses to leave.

Not for kids - listener discretion advised.

The Old Well
01/04/2026 | 12 min
Some wells don’t just hold water.

In this chilling spooky story, a teenage girl spends a sweltering summer at her Great‑Aunt Martha’s isolated Valley home, where the air feels thick enough to drown in and the locals whisper about an ancient fieldstone well known only as The Sieve.

Natalie is bored enough to ignore every instinct telling her to stay away from the ring of dead oaks behind the garden. When she slides the well’s rotting wooden lid open, the darkness inside feels alive. Dropping a quartz stone should have produced a splash. Instead, she unlocks something much darker.

For listeners who love folklore‑rooted horror, rural dread, and stories where the earth itself feels sentient, this episode delivers a slow, suffocating terror that follows you long after you leave the woods.

Not for kids - listener discretion advised.

White Van Man
29/03/2026 | 11 min
Routine is supposed to make life feel safe - the school run, the familiar streets, the predictable rhythm of weekday mornings. But for one exhausted young mother, routine becomes the perfect hunting ground for something that shouldn’t exist.

In this unnerving spooky story, a white van begins appearing behind the her car every morning. Not close. Not threatening. Just there — two cars back, turning when she turns, idling when she idles. At first, she rationalizes it. Then she tests it. And when the van follows her through three pointless right turns, the fear becomes impossible to ignore.

What follows is a slow, suffocating descent into obsession.

Was it a stalker? A vehicle with a fake plate? Or something that slips through the blind spots of ordinary life, feeding on patterns, waiting to be noticed?

For listeners who love slow‑burn paranoia, uncanny everyday horror, and stories where the mundane becomes monstrous, this episode lingers long after the engine goes quiet.

Not for kids - listener discretion advised.

The Organist
25/03/2026 | 13 min
A tired veterinary intern seeks quiet in an old Norman church, and finds a presence that never stopped rehearsing when a late‑night visit to St. Jude’s turns from solace into dread when she sees a gaunt woman in the locked organ loft, her hands pantomiming frantic playing above the keys.

The vicar reveals the church’s secret: Elspeth Vance.

If you like: atmospheric church hauntings; slow‑burn supernatural encounters; first‑person confessional horror; stories about obsession and the things left behind when someone can’t let go - press play.

Not for kids - listener discretion advised.
