    You know that house, the one at the end of the block? The one the kids all dare each other to break into? Well, Mary El is about to move into it. And she’s pretty sure the landlord isn’t telling her family something important about the house’s past.

    The Occupants

    The Occupants

    Old houses have seen so many occupants. And just because former tenants have moved out, doesn’t mean they’ve truly left.

    STORIES

    Mirror in the Bathroom

    Haunted Hacienda

    You’re not supposed to mess around with mirrors and Bloody Mary. You’re not supposed to mess around with Ouija boards. And you’re definitely not supposed to mess around with white magic. But Jose Moreno and his friends don’t know that... yet.

    Thank you, Jose Moreno, for sharing your story.

<3 :/

i rated 5 stars because i still believe this is the best paranormal content i've been able to find and have been a listener for a couple years now. however, i have the same critique as other reviews lately. i've been noticing re-uploads of old episodes for a while now and i was also a part of the group of people that paid for a lot of this same content a while back. i was glad to see i wasn't the only person feeling a bit discontent with the way the show seems to have disregarded long time listeners in doing this. i noticed a bunch of new episodes since i had last listened (after giving up trying to find one i hadn't heard) and felt like maybe spooked heard our feedback. then, this week's episode. i was super psyched to listen, but immediately knew i had heard this one before. in fact, it's one of my favorite stories and i think about it often. i truly enjoy the content and y'all do such a great job in providing the authentic storytelling that i love. i'm gonna listen as long as y'all are creating. i hope the feedback you receive is insightful :)

Awesome Podcast But....

This podcast has awesome stories but both the music and host are way too tacky. I skip straight through the music and host to get to the storyteller for every episode.

Guy Is A Once-In-A-Generation Talent

Such a magical, amazing, insightful show. From the incredible intros (sometimes sinister, sometimes silly, always compelling) to the stunning production -- TEN STARS! Minute one, Spooked had me hiding under the covers. Be afraid, and don't turn out the lights!!
