Spooky Story Time

You think you know the people you love. After all, they know your favourite tea, your bedtime routines, and the little habits you never mention to anyone else.

But then strange things begin happening inside your home. As a frightening truth emerges, you realise the greatest danger isn't a stranger breaking into your house. It's someone who was never invited in because they were already there.

In this chilling tale of obsession, surveillance and the terrifying vulnerability of being watched, you'll discover why some keys unlock far more than doors.

Not for kids. Listener discretion advised.

You tell yourself it's only paperwork. A signature here. A changed date there. Nothing worth losing sleep over.

When a powerful funeral director offers you a promotion that could save your family from poverty, saying no feels impossible. But every favour draws you deeper into a world of disturbed graves, hidden secrets and questions that should never be asked of the dead.

As Día de los Muertos approaches in Oaxaca, a series of increasingly disturbing assignments leads you towards a ritual buried beneath an old funeral home.

In this haunting tale of guilt, greed and the things we can never truly bury, you'll learn that some ghosts don't need to haunt houses. They haunt consciences.

You stay behind. Just fifteen more minutes, you tell yourself. One final edit, one last paragraph, and then you'll leave the university library.

But when midnight passes and the building falls silent, you realise you may not be alone...

What follows is a chilling encounter with something that doesn't merely watch. It studies. It learns. And it follows.

In this unnerving tale of obsession, imitation, and the terror of being mirrored, you'll discover why some things are far more frightening than being alone.

Not for kids - listener discretion advised.

You think you know what happens while you sleep.

You think the night is quiet, uneventful, yours.

But when I began recording my sleep to check for snoring, I uncovered something far worse than restless nights.

In this chilling tale of intrusion, imitation, and the dangers of being known too well, you’ll discover why some questions should never be answered in the dark.
