Featured Article: Venture into the Unknown and Unexplained with the Best Paranormal Podcasts


The paranormal genre is perfectly suited to podcasts, given how its ties to myths and legends are rooted in oral storytelling. In the same way that a campfire tale can give you goosebumps, the best paranormal podcasts are as much about performance and structure as the story itself. Some, like the gothic fiction of old, are purely imagined, while others offer a window into the unseen and unexplained pockets of our own reality.

Amazing. This was my first podcast ever, “they made me a tonic” with this podcast years ago. And I’ve become addicted. I fear its forever.

really fantastic storytelling!

Lore is one of the best podcasts out there! the narration is incredible. he navigates the twists and turns of plot in a really skilled way, and I find it super relaxing. the story just rolls right along so fluidly. the stories are intriguing, they're beautifully narrated, they're thrilling, and they're suitable for pretty much any audience. nothing too scary or shocking for most kids who are old enough to be interested at all. highly recommend.

My OG Podcast

The most reliably awesome, slightly spooky, always thought-provoking podcast out there; it ranks #1 in my heart ❤ the folklore is especially cool when its coming from a place you've been to, but didnt know the history of at the time. Its the first podcast I ever tried listening to- and now it's the first podcast I look for on days when a new episode is due

Love the stories!

I love the podcast, but wish Audible would let me listen to the episodes in chronological order. It wants to automatically play the most recent one and that makes me have to hunt and find the next episode manually. It doesn’t make for a pleasant listening experience.
