Customer Reviews
A great listen
Haley Stevens & her co-presenters offer a refreshingly down to earth exploration of paranormal phenomena.
De-bunking the paranormal is the podcast’s goal and the subject is tackled with humour balanced with a thoroughness that never fails to make this a fascinating listen.
I even have favourite episodes that I regularly re-visit. I only wish that episodes arrived more often.
Really good listen
Intelligent and thoughtful sceptical conversation. I really like this pod and is a new addition to my regular listening choices. Keep it up guys.

I love The Spooktator! Interesting subject matter and properly funny. I especially enjoyed the spooky stories episode, and the anecdotes about previous investigations. Would listen to it every week if I could.
