The Dark Paranormal
A British podcast where host Kevin Eustace narrates true paranormal stories submitted by his listeners.
This is a campfire-style ghost story podcast for the modern era. Host Kevin Eustace reads true paranormal accounts sent in by listeners, treating them with a narrative gravity that prioritizes atmosphere and suspense. The stories are often intimate and personal, focusing on haunted family homes, cursed antiques, and unsettling premonitions.
