Last year I shared five creepy podcasts that really capture the feel of fall and everyone’s favorite upcoming holiday, Halloween. I realized I’ve discovered several more over the past year, so why not make this an annual tradition?
From UFOs to cryptids to history’s mysteries, these podcasts will give you a plethora of fun stories to ponder (or keep you up at night).
On to the 2021 list…
- Spooky Scouts: The Spooky Scout troop is lead by scoutmasters Holly and Kayla who created a podcast and so much more. There are of course creepy tales about Mothmen, spontaneous human combustion, conspiracies, folk magic, and even more obscure mysterious topics like number stations. I love the fact or fiction segment, where listeners submit stories that are fact, fiction, or a mix of both, and Holly and Kayla take turns reading and taking their guesses on the origins of the stories. Holly and Kayla also have an Etsy store full of creations that blend the creepy and nerdy with a touch of cottagecore.
- UFO Chronicles Podcast: This podcast consists entirely of interviews with people who have claimed to have made contact with aliens. The tales vary from seeing lights in the sky to repeated, full on abduction scenarios. While some stories feel very believable, others feel completely fantastic but all are intriguing to listen to!
- Witches, Magic, Murder, & Mystery: WMM&M is a true crime and paranormal podcast that has episodes covering witchcraft, unsolved mysteries, murder cases, and the supernatural. The hosts have cute, bubbly personalities and share creepy tales of historical events, folklore, and modern mysteries with some humor mixed in.
- Unexplained Mysteries: This podcast covers some of the world’s most puzzling and unsolved phenomena, ranging from historical to modern mysteries. The show covers topics like strange disappearances, cryptids, ancient civilizations, UFO sightings, and paranormal events. Each episode thoroughly investigates a particular mystery, exploring various theories and possible explanations while remaining open to the unknown.
- Astonishing Legends: Astonishing Legends delves into a wide range of mysterious, strange, and paranormal topics. The episodes cover famous legends, unsolved mysteries, supernatural occurrences, and historical oddities with lots of deep dives into each subject over multiple episodes. The topics are well researched and over involve interviewing experts and witnesses when possible. This show covers everything from UFOs and cryptids to conspiracy theories, hauntings, and lost civilizations in a conversational voice.
