Explain please, no cell phones for GPS, he followed the train to another country? usually not roads right next to tracks. Did this person sit in the bar parking lot for hours waiting?? doesn't make sense, but whatever helps you sleep at night I guess...

please don't use a.i. again, the fake person narrating the first story called his kids "kigs" and his fiance "fee-yonk-say"over and over. for god sake stop being cheap and just pay a human to do it, we are never going to connect with a.i. like we do with a human so why would we want computers to replace artists?!

The girl telling the chiropractor story was talking sooooo slow. I had just keep skipping forward. I think she was trying to make the story about a chiropractor who wasn't a serial killer and didn't hurt anybody and told the truth about working at the university seem scary. 😂

I have had sleep paralysis, my first episode was approximately at four years old. Then worsened in my teen years . I never saw anything. The hat man I have never heard of until now. My episodes were completely different. interesting.

I love this podcast so it's a bummer when the stories feel really fake because they're full of horror tropes. Or they're about goofy stuff like Robert the doll.

This au pair girl is absurdly dumb. Like, initially I felt like ok well she's just nervous and feeling the situation out. But she just does one ridiculous thing after the next. 🙄

Snipe Hinting was a good homage, but he missed a few horror movie tropes.

I know that she was driven away from the airport, but would you get back in the same car that is making you terrified and crying uncontrollably? Hell no.  I would take my chances walking to the airport before getting back into the car . It didn’t sound like they were that far away.
