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.

The Return of the Tide
22/03/2026 | 9 min
Some encounters don’t fade with time - they wait, like a tide pulling itself back toward shore. In this chilling spooky story, a former cannery worker recalls the night he crossed paths with something that should have been lost to the Atlantic decades earlier.

It’s 1992 on a fog‑choked Maine wharf, long after closing time. With rain turning the roads to sludge, he takes a forbidden shortcut across a rotting pier. Under a flickering sodium lamp, he hears it first: a dragging, uneven gait. Then he sees the figure...

Some things lost at sea don’t stay lost.

For listeners who love maritime horror, ghostly returns, and stories where the past refuses to stay buried beneath the waves, press play.

Claire
18/03/2026 | 9 min
Some memories feel sacred, warm, and comforting. For me, it was the Summer at the lake house tucked deep in the pines, where a rickety dock creaked beneath my feet, and I played every day with my friend Claire.

But the lake house never existed, and the truth is far darker.

In this haunting story, a cherished childhood memory fractures under scrutiny, and the question that lingers is the one no one wants to ask: what really happened to Claire? And why was I the last person to see her?

For listeners who love psychological horror, unreliable memory, and stories where the past refuses to stay buried, press play.

My Raggedy Ann
15/03/2026 | 12 min
A childhood doll becomes the center of a decades‑long haunting in this unsettling first‑person story about memory, fear, and the things that follow us into adulthood.

Annie is a second‑hand Raggedy Ann doll with a dark presence. As the years pass, things that begin as small, explainable incidents escalate into something far more disturbing.

For listeners who love haunted‑object stories, childhood dread, and slow‑burn psychological horror, this episode explores the terror of growing up with something that watches—and the fear that it might still be watching.

The Night the Lights Went Out
11/03/2026 | 9 min
A childhood ritual becomes a lifelong fear when a summer blackout in a creaking Massachusetts Victorian reveals a staircase that shouldn’t exist.

When the power cuts out during a violent thunderstorm, I leave my younger brother in the attic and begin counting the familiar fourteen steps down to the second floor. But in the pitch‑black silence, the house feels different - heavier, colder, wrong.

The adults blame shadows and panic, but I know what I felt.

For listeners who love atmospheric hauntings, childhood liminality, and stories where the familiar becomes terrifying, this episode explores the thin line between memory and the unknown... and the steps we’re too afraid to count.
