Some of the most unbearable dull and poorly narrated crap I have ever heard.
perfect for Thanksgiving. I listen to this story every year. my new tradition
uninspired and frankly less interesting than the actual case
I believe, if I'd known the ending, or, even read the damn description of the story, (which I never do, preferring to go in blind),: I would have skipped this story entirely. BUT, I guess, glad I didn't. glad (or whatever this emotion is) that I listened. it was nifty, &;spooky, & 45 mins. later, writing this with snot dripping down my face, feeling embarrassed that duplex neighbor heard me lose my shit. I now know I must process my own deeply buried and denied grief. Hats off to u. beautif
Did the narrator record this story on voicemail, then submit it? The poor sound quality and overall *bad* narration was jarring. I didn't last 5 minutes into the story.
Read without feeling.
THREE awkwardly repeated sentences in a single story!?! Talk about amateur hour: why has nobody bothered to edit this or do the most rudimentary quality control...?
And. That. Intro. Was. Horrible.
this intro was awesome a mix of introducing Alastair and Public Enemy🥰😂
horror?
Erroneous re-post of episode 800, from Mar2022.
Slow sips? Lol we need a slow narrator. I thought my playback speed was off. Couldn't do this one
it takes slow sips... but this narrator needs to read slow words. anybody else check their playback speed when they first heard this?? I can't.... 😭 I was sooo excited too
Bravo!
this story was written and read so exquisitely. I listened over 15 times within a week. everytime it was better and scarier. bravo mania
This one is madness. Dark and lovely.
This episode became a favorite
WOW 😲, holy shite!!! THAT was a GREAT story, that is what I want, a genuinely good AND scary story...... this is the substance which those of us with a love of Pure Horror want, thanks, this is one that really stands out
that's hilarious I thought of dirty dancing as well
I like this story, but the lifeless and deadpan delivery by the host/narrator ruined it.
