I'm not sure what has happened in the last year, but I have fallen in the deep, dark hole of podcasts. I don't know how I haven't gotten on the bandwagon before, but now I'm in it up to my eyeballs. I even daydream about making my own podcast. I'm not sure the world would be ready for that though.
I listen to all kinds of podcasts. Business, entrepreneurship, homeschooling, interviews, simple living, homesteading, humor, history, and horror/paranormal. It's just a grab bag. A mosaic, if you will. (See what I did there. ;))
October is here and that means bust out all the creepy movies ALL MONTH LONG!! Now that podcasts have come into my life, it's scary stories ALL THE TIME! I'm going to share with you my absolute must-listens of the creepy podcast realm. So turn the lights off, grab your favorite warm drink and fuzzy blanket, and let's listen to some macabre media! Here are my picks in no particular order. Also, I receive no compensation of any sort for these recommendations. I'm just spreading the news of something I love. ***Disclaimer: Most of these, if not all, are probably not for the highly-sensitive. ***
Lore - If you like urban legends, folklore, and eerie happenings in history and a few from modern times, this is for you. I think of it as The Outer Limits for your ears. (Man, I miss that show!) I would give this one a PG-13 rating. Some of it is rather intense, but no language warning. I love Lore. It makes me think. Aaron Mahnke does an amazing job putting this together. I highly recommend starting at the beginning.
The No Sleep Podcast - Oh. My. Gosh. If you like really disturbing stories - and I'm emphasizing 'disturbing' with 10 ft. tall letters here - No Sleep is for you. Definitely a hard R rating for language, violence, substance. No Sleep is like Wes Craven for your ears. The latest one I've really loved is Borrasca. WOW.
Astonishing Legends - This is one I've recently found and I'm so glad! If you're like me and love knowing the science behind if it's possible, Astonishing Legends is awesome. It's by 2 skeptical guys who delve into all the rabbit holes. I love a deep dive of things and they know how to dive deep! The episode about Greyfriars Kirkyard has been my favorite so far. I'm torn with wanting to go there and see for myself and staying WAAAAAY away. Listen and decide what you'd do.
The Black Tapes - Y'ALL! This was mentioned to me by a friend in the Sorta Awesome Hangout on Facebook. (Sorta Awesome is another podcast I love, though not of the scary persuasion. So this is kinda like podcast Inception.) I've never listened to a serialized podcast before, so that was a first. I naturally prefer starting at the beginning of things whether it's a series or not. THIS is sheer fantasticness. Currently they're on break before the next season, so you have plenty of time to catch up and get ready for season 3. The absolute depth of this podcast is amazing. The voices, the story, the everything. I'm actually re-listening to it all the way through again before the next season starts. I'm not sure what I would rate this one a hard PG-13. Language is minimal, if not completely censored, it's the content that might be too intense for some.
TANIS - This one is also by the creators of The Black Tapes and has a couple of the same people in it. I loved TBT so much, I, of course, had to check it out. It definitely is of the same caliber. Serialized, excellent story, great creep factor... I don't know what Pacific Northwest Stories is doing, but they just need to keep it up because they are making magic for your ears. I will seriously cry if they stop. Ugly cry. I'll actually rate this one an R due to language. Content is also intense.
Rigor Mortis Paranormal - A friend recommended this one to me recently. They're rather small since they've just started, but definitely entertaining. This is the equivalent of a group of buddies sharing scary stories around a campfire. Beer, buddies, and scary stories make up this one. Most of the stories are from Texas, so that adds to the interest for me! Some are the hosts' own stories, some are shared via voice recording or email. This one gets an R for language.
So hopefully this has helped you load your ears with all the eerieness of the season. Do you have any favorite freaky podcasts? Do you have any opinions about the ones mentioned? I'd love to hear! My podcast list is always open for more.
