Very enjoyable

I like the history, the haunting stories and the reasons they couldn't be hauntings as well as them possibly being hauntings. I also like that they are a good length, I hate when a podcast ends after 20 mins. I am very much enjoying this series.

Excellent storytelling

Rob weaves together a narrative of both the history and paranormal expertly. Episodes are well researched and bring to life the stories of locations without over-the-top dramatics. Highly recommended
