Described as “a multiverse of Lovecraftian terror,” The Dark Verse provides a wide range of haunted tales that are sure to rob you of sleep at night. M. Amanuensis Sharkchild gets the credit for writing and narrating each episode. Recent podcasts include “The Coin Slave,” Orchestrations of the Ssttitd,” and “Rumination Weapon.”
Pretty Scary
Pretty Scary is bi-weekly production that has been named one of Uproxx’s top 16 true-crime podcasts. It’s also ranked on Vulture’s list of 52 best true-crime podcasts. Enjoy the narration of comics Kari Martin, Caitlin Cutt, and Adam Tod Brown as they weave stories featuring aliens, conspiracy theories, ghosts, and true crime.
The Apex & The Abyss
Launched back in 2016, The Apex & The Abyss continues to be a favorite of true-crime podcast fans. Each episode will send shivers down your spine as you listen to a tapestry of eery music complemented by clips from documentaries, trials, and news reports.
The Moonlit Road
The Moonlit Road specializes in sharing ghost tales and dark legends born in the Old South. Each episode effectively uses atmospheric sound effects paired with the authentic Southern twang of the narrators, for a realistic vibe. Though this production doesn’t have as many episodes as fans would like, the quality of each release makes up for what it lacks in quantity. “The Spirit of Thomas Lester,” “Elleck’s Song,” and “Railroad Bill” are just a few episodes worth checking out.
Lore
If you prefer real-life horror stories to fictional ones, then Lore is for you. Discover the dark side of history that you probably never learned in school. After listening to an episode or two, you’ll see for yourself why this show is deserving of its numerous awards, which include “Best History Podcast 2016” by the Academy of Podcasters.
