• Sweet Dreams: The Man in the Corner
    Jan 21 2026
    I signed up for a paid sleep study because I was exhausted and broke. By the seventh night, the researchers weren’t asking if I saw the man in the corner... they were asking what he was doing. I’m telling you this because I need people to understand what the Miller‑Vaine Institute was really studying. I thought I was just being monitored while I slept. Instead, every morning the lead researcher asked me about a figure I’d never seen, until the night the corner of the room began to deepen, stretch, and reach toward my bed. When they showed me footage of myself reaching out to something invisible, whispering like I was praying, I ran. I didn’t even stop to put on my shoes. I’m still filling every corner of my house with lamps and bookshelves, because once you see him, he doesn’t stay in the corner anymore. If you’re drawn to psychological horror, sleep‑study nightmares, or stories where something in the dark becomes real the moment you acknowledge it, press play.

  • Lights in the Sky: The Night the Road Went Silent
    Jan 18 2026
    I was driving home on a foggy Sunday night when a formation of orange‑red lights began pacing my car along the A303. Silent, precise, and moving in ways nothing man‑made should. I still don’t know what I saw. One moment it was just drizzle, darkness, and a sleepy podcast. The next, five or six glowing orbs were hovering above the tree line, drifting, then darting across each other with impossible speed. No sound, no aircraft shape, no logic. Just pure, unblinking light moving like it was alive. I’m not saying it was extraterrestrial, but I know it wasn’t normal. If you’re drawn to eerie road encounters, UFO‑style sightings, or stories where the night sky suddenly feels too close, press play. Not for kids - listener discretion advised. A special thanks to PastMaster for being the podcast you can hear - do listen and follow their show, it's really great. ------------ Beth's Spooky Story Time is your new favourite horror podcast, best enjoyed alone with headphones.

  • The Perpetual Glow
    Jan 14 2026
    I thought I knew every inch of Black Peak, until a lantern‑bright glow appeared in the fog and began moving toward me, like it had been waiting. This is the one hike I can’t explain away. I’d spent years on those mountains, confident, experienced, unshakeable. But the day the fog rolled in, I saw a warm, amber light drifting through the trees, too steady to be a reflection, and too old‑fashioned to be a headlamp. I followed it at first, thinking it was another hiker. Then it stopped responding to my calls. Then it circled me. Silently. Perfectly. Like it wasn’t being carried at all. This is the closest I’ve ever come to believing the mountains hold something older than us. If you love eerie wilderness encounters, ghost‑light legends, or stories where nature feels alive and watching, press play.

  • The Tall Man
    Jan 11 2026
    I thought sleep deprivation was making me see things... until my baby started smiling at something pacing in the nursery, and toys began coming back with fingerprints too big to be his. This is the story I’ve never said out loud. It started with a shadow on the baby monitor. I tried to explain it away - bad lighting, exhaustion, anything rational - but then Leo began giggling at things I couldn’t see, and offering his toys to someone who wasn’t there. Someone he calls The Tall Man. This is a quiet, unsettling account of early motherhood, sleep deprivation, and the creeping dread of something unseen taking an interest in your child. If you’re drawn to domestic hauntings, eerie nursery stories, or the uncanny presence of imaginary friends who feel a little too real, press play.

  • The Empty Stall
    Jan 7 2026
    I heard someone sobbing in the stall next to mine in the campus bathroom. When security opened the door, the stall was empty. Locked, silent, and impossible. I still feel the cold tile under my slippers and the echo of that hysterical wail. It was finals week, the library a fluorescent tomb, and the crying started soft and private before escalating into a raw, terrified sound that made my skin crawl. But there was nothing - no backpack, no jacket, no sign anyone had been inside. The memory has followed me ever since: the sudden, aggressive absence where a person had just been, and the way the room went from frantic noise to impossible quiet in a heartbeat. I’m still not sure what I heard - an actual person, a sound carried through pipes, or something else. If you’re drawn to campus hauntings, press play and listen close.

  • The Driver Who Knew Everything
    Jan 4 2026
    I got into a ride‑share after my car broke down and the driver called me by my full name - my private middle name - and then told me he’d been waiting for this ride. I ran. I’m still running. I’m telling this because it happened to me and because I need other women to hear what can happen when a stranger knows more than they should. One ordinary Tuesday night my car died on the M2. A black Audi arrived, the driver said my name like he owned it, and then he started reciting details about my life that no app should know. When I tried to get out, the door was locked. I escaped by throwing myself from the car and running across gravel. The police found the car abandoned; the driver vanished. This episode is a tight, urgent account of that ride: the small, chilling moments that made my skin crawl, the instant I realized this wasn’t a routine pickup, and the raw panic of getting out alive. If you listen to safety stories, true‑crime warnings, or tense personal horror, press play.

  • My Last New Year: The Toast that Changed My Life
    Dec 31 2025
    A stranger at a crowded bar raised a crystal flute and toasted me with three words... “to your last New Year,” then vanished. That toast has been the drumbeat of my life for a year. I’m telling this quietly because I don’t want to invite more attention, only to share what it’s like to live under a sentence. One midnight, a man in an impossibly sharp suit appeared beside my booth, offered a single, chilling toast, and left behind a heavy crystal flute. Since then I’ve quit drinking, lost my job, and turned every day into a ritual to avoid whatever he meant. I’ve had tests, scoured forums, and catalogued every near‑miss as if it were a clue. The calendar has become a cliff. This episode is an account of paranoia and prophecy: the night itself, the months that followed, and the small, obsessive measures I’ve taken to survive. If you’re drawn to tense, psychological horror - prophecies, ominous strangers, and the slow erosion of normal life - press play and listen close. I’m counting down the days, and I need you to hear this.

  • We Are Happy: My Uninvited Guest
    Dec 28 2025
    I came home one evening to find my keys on the kitchen counter and my slippers arranged like a message. By the time I hid a camera, the footage showed someone who looked exactly like me, living my life, smoothing my comforter, and leaving a strand of dark hair on my shoes. I’m terrified, and I need you to hear this. For six months my apartment has been subtly rearranged. Small, intimate intrusions at first. A strand of hair that wasn’t mine. A hidden nanny cam that captured a version of me walking in and acting like she belongs. I’m not sure whether I’m being gaslit, stalked, or haunted, but I’m done staying silent. This is a story about identity, invasion, and the uncanny terror of being replaced in your own life. If you like tense, intimate horror that blends psychological dread with uncanny phenomena, doppelgängers, domestic hauntings, and the slow erosion of safety, press play.
