Did they leave their car door unlocked??
A damn witch in the backseat and they were concerned for her! wth
The listener stories have become an unimaginative mix of regurgitated reddit posts. As soon as I hear, I felt something watching me...I'm out.
again! wankers!
What is up with all of the smartly dressed ghostly apparitions from the Victorian era? Why haven't they crossed over? You've had like 200 years. How about just one story of a hovering dude, staring blankly into a phone macking Tinder or trying to have food delivered to the afterlife.
" That was a FL accent, Right? " 😂😂
I'm so happy Terry is gone; please make it permanent. Sick of it cat screaming and talking with fictional characters. Don't get me started with his very tasteless and questionable jokes, it's just soul-destroying
I hope this guy does some more eps!

Was she naked the whole time she was running around?
what happened to my favorite podcast?? Terry, come baaack!
the 2nd story teller is fortunate to have been haunted by something that understands Spanish, or perhaps is bi or multi- lingual. Eternity would give you a lot of spare time to study a 2nd language.
terrible friends 😆
Oh man, worst host out of all the guest hosts if you ask me. he reminds me of a kid show called "sherif Callie". I love the stories and the layout but the new host is just not a good fit for this podcast. it's going to be hard to listen to from hear on out.
the 2nd story was GOOD. I hope someone does some more investigating on that one
Bigfoot is blurry. It's not the photographers fault and that scares the hell out of me 'cause there's a large out of focus monster roaming the countryside. -Mitch Hedburg.
I'm sorry what does 'hill billy' sound like?
This show started out strong, with plots from old One Step Beyond episodes (1960s) woven in. Now, it's unimaginative regurgitated reddit threads.
The last story in this episode both infuriated me and broke my heart. The darkness the human heart is capable of is truly horrifying.
:( guess this is the last episode for me. Terry is the only reason I have listened to this show. Best of luck Terry in the void :(
