S3:E46 – It was huge, skeletal, malnourished, with inhumanely sharp features.

I’m BAAAACCCCKKKKK!!

I’ve collected some interesting stories for you today, from different ends of “the fear spectrum”, shall we call it. From strange sightings to near-death experiences, we’ve got them all in here today, and I’m so excited to share them with all of you! I know I’ve said it before, but I really love hearing all of your submitted stories — no two are ever the same, and no experience is ever repeated! It just goes to show how much there is out there in the world…and how much we’ll never really know the truth about.

Ok…ready to get spooked?

S3:E45-I stood there, shaking and crying, telling them that I’d seen the Devil

Welcome back to IHWN, I’m your host, Brittney. 

I’m filling in for Lanie while she’s out on maternity leave.

We’re well past the Halfway To Halloween point of the year, and I don’t know about you, but I’m already starting to keep an eye out for those upcoming spooky specials in all areas pretty soon. Summer is lovely, don’t get me wrong, but Halloween? Halloween is a state of mind, one that we absolutely embrace here on the Haunted team.

And speaking of that scary state of mind, we’ve got quite the collection of stories for you today that will really get you into that mindset.

S3: E43 – I can’t overstate how desolate it was. How alone. How isolating.

Samii – hosting for Lanie while she’s out on maternity leave. I host the It’s Frightful podcast that’s all about (Paranormal experience, much like the ones you hear on It’s haunted. As well as Creepy Encounters with not so nice people, and much much more.) & I’m so excited to be sharing these stories with you all!  Spring has officially sprung, and with the warm weather on the way, that means a lot more sunlight and energy for all of us. And what that means for us over at It’s Haunted is that we’ve got even more drive to bring you some creepy stories to curl up with at night. We’ve got some good ones today for you to sink your teeth into, and I’m excited to get started.

S3:E40 – Except there was nothing there, no feet.

We are naturally curious of the paranormal, but equally afraid. What is more terrifying than being tormented by something you can’t see? The ones we DO see, the ones that come with warnings, and the ones who seem to visit many people around the world. These four stories remind us what it is we fear about ghost stories and even dip into the realm of folk tales.

S2:E37 – The loud one was different. I’d never physically seen the loud one, but I’ve heard them plenty.

I hope everyone found something to be thankful for and are looking forward to the new year and happy holidays ahead. 2020 has been a difficult year for lots of us, so I’m hoping that these holidays give you the ability to be thankful and find a little joy in an otherwise tumultuous time.

We’ve finally moved past our spooky holidays and are hopping right into our turkey and wintery filled ones. 2020 has been a difficult year for lots of us, so I’m hoping that these holidays give you the ability to be thankful and find a little joy in an otherwise tumultuous time.
