Don’t Go In The Woods, Man

The forest is a mysterious place, and some dark secrets are most certainly best left hidden among the trees. In today's episode, we will feature a handful of some of the scariest, most grim forests on this spinning planet. From the tragic stillness of Japan's Aokigahara to the ferocious symphony of England's Screaming Woods, this episode is sure to make you think twice about taking that hike. Oh yeah, and we recorded at night next to the woods for authenticity.

Fisher cat /cus words

Fisher cats can very in size, I have seen ones as big as a coyote and others a small to medium dog. As far as your cursing goes I absolutely love it. Unfortunately I can’t listen to you in my car when my son is in there with me because of all the cursewords but you know... lol
Love u guys 😘

Favorite Pod

Best podcast ever! Loves these girls. Rather listen to them on repeat than listen to other pods.

Friendly Morbidity

I saw some other reviewers (on other episodes) say they were vapid or annoying, never getting to point or they(listening) couldn't finish.
I mean people are entitled to their opinion of course but i believe they didn't give it a chance or are too stuffy/want boring documentary type podcast. If you like dull, this is not for you. These girls (women) are like sisters (they r related but not sisters) so you get to hear their friendly banter. They treat us, the listening audience, as if we are family/old friends too. So ya they ramble at times, and get sidetracked, but they are fun. Their investigation skills and storytelling are not subpar either. They(Alaina lol) really go deep into finding out as many facts as they can to present to us. Bonus: 90s to 00s references.

you girls are the 💣💥

I love the team they're wonderful they're great to listen to although they get sidetracked some of its funny so if it goes on too long the stories are always great I just started this podcast so I'm starting way back in 2018 I found it interesting that you were talking about the Spanish influenza during your podcast, and covid had not yet hit. you might want to go back and take a listen, pretty insightful?? I'm finding them wonderful to listen to but I'm ending up on the con side, staying up way too late when I started this to go to sleep to this pleasant voice hahaha. I keep hitting a 30 minute extra button because I want to hear the end so I end up staying up for about an hour longer than I wanted to. 🥰🤣👀 which is wonderful for your podcast kudos kudos, terrible for my health. also is there a way to always pick up from where you left off if you're starting from the oldest because it keeps flipping to the newest every time I go to listen to a new story so I have to hit and go through everything to oldest and then scan down , past all of my finished, to start a new one. thank you Brooke tink*Whitehead.
