Listener Favourites

We’re taking a week off to let the team rest, recharge, and get ready for more spooky stories — but we didn’t want to leave you without something eerie to listen to.

This week, we’re revisiting a few listener-favourite episodes: the ones that stayed with you long after they ended.

These episodes explore the places where folklore, history, fear, and belief begin to blur. From the true stories behind terrifying urban legends, to changelings, doppelgängers, thin places, and lost time, each episode asks the same unsettling question: what if the old stories were not just stories after all?

Episode 45: When the Legend Was Real — True Stories Behind History’s Scariest Urban Legends
Urban legends are often dismissed as campfire stories, but sometimes the truth behind them is even darker. This episode looks at the real events, fears, and historical moments that helped shape some of the scariest legends we still tell today.

Episode 48: Changelings
For centuries, families believed that something unnatural could steal a child and leave something else behind. This episode explores changeling folklore, the fear beneath the belief, and the unsettling real-world consequences of stories told to explain what people could not understand.

Episode 41: Doppelgängers: The Double Across Cultures
What would you do if you saw yourself — or if someone else saw you where you could not possibly be? This episode follows the doppelgänger across cultures, from omens and spirit doubles to stories that suggest seeing your own double may be more than just a strange coincidence.

Episode 32: Thin Places, Lost Time
Some places feel different, as though the world has worn thin and something else is pressing through. This episode explores thin places, missing time, and eerie stories where people step out of the ordinary world — and return changed, confused, or not quite sure how long they were gone.

Because sometimes, the stories that haunt us most are the ones that feel a little too real.

And don’t forget — we’re always looking for listener stories for an upcoming listener story episode. If you have a paranormal experience, local legend, strange encounter, haunted object story, or something you just can’t explain, we would love to hear from you.
