    RE-RUNS
    I’m begging, please just label your re-run a as re-runs. It’s so frustrating as a listener. Love the show and don’t mind re listening to certain episodes, but I just don’t understand why you can’t label it as such. You guys do not care about your listeners at all. So frustrating.

    Scary, not gory.
    This is just scary enough for me. Great stories and really well done. I download them and save them for daytime cleaning.
  • Myr F
    Love it, aside from the sound effects
    This is a great paranormal story-telling podcast and definitely worth a listen. I will say that the sound effects can be annoying, though. Just listened to the most recent episode where they were eating dinner in the story and a sound effect of a person chewing food sent me into a spiral. Whyyy

    Real Life “Twilight Zone” . . .
    Wow. Such a magical, mystical, insightful show! From incredible intros (sometimes sinister, sometimes silly, always compelling) to the stunning production -- TEN STARS! Minute one, Spooked had me hiding under the covers. Be afraid, and don't turn out the lights!!

    Sister sister
    This story is an urban legend and has been done (better) on another podcast. Spooked, you’ve gone downhill and I’m over it. Yawn.
  • Dirt on you
    So good
    This is in a class by itself. The music is perfectly timed and constructed, the host is the easiest to dive in with-personal and smooth, the narration is spot on, never too much-never too little, the editing is impeccable. Hearing these stories from the people who have had the experience is the punch that takes this all the way. I cannot get enough. I share it with everyone I can. Thank you all for your incredible work.

    Long time listener and fan
    I love this podcast! Great story telling and amazing community. I remember when it was just a segment on the Snap Judgment podcast. Seeing how it evolved through the years is amazing. If you’re looking for some high quality audio theatre of the mind, check out this podcast

    Love the show but…
    I really wish new episodes were always new, instead of reruns set up as new.
  • GimmeStrawburry
    Not just spooky but deeply emotional
    Host Glynn Washington brings tears to my eyes with almost every intro story. Understanding another human’s experience is a privilege and Glynn not only brings his life and experience into full color but gives others the opportunity to do the same. There are stories I have heard on Spooked that I will never forget. This isn’t just another platform for creepy stories. It’s an emotional journey. The music is great, the production quality is top-notch and other podcasts just aren’t good enough. Thank you Mr. Washington for putting so much of your heart and soul into this work and sharing it. It’s not lost on me.

    Enough music.
    Get to the story. You don’t need 30-45 seconds of instrumental spooky music. Skip skip skip skip all the time
  • Apft girl
    Very cool and surprisingly unique!
    I’ve listened to a lot of scary “true” story podcasts and this is by far the best in terms of standing out. The host is fantastic, the production really adds to the vibe, and the stories are actually different from those shared among other pods in the same genre. Really great execution!
  • pooishpea
    Spooksters, the show starts NOW
    This show is my whole vibe. I heard about this show from the podcast None of This is Real. I’m so glad that I followed their suggestion. I absolutely adore this show and their creators.
  • Spookingme
    Re-runs
    Stop posting re-run episodes as new. I love this show so much and pray there will be new episodes every week! Such a disappointment when it’s a re-run.
  • Good Vibes Only 369
    This could be good but….
    The music is too dang loud I can’t take it! I want to hear the people talking not loud rap music. The host of the show speaks so fast his words mesh together and he can be hard to understand too.
  • BigEinThumb
    My favorite
    I will say I look forward to each episode and some I’ve heard from when it was on it’s original platform. The host is interesting and engaging, the spooksters are good, just every episode feels like a story. I know one season wasn’t so gray but a bad season of Spooked is better than the best of most podcasts.
  • esilesetin
    Repetitive
    I used to LOVE this podcast, especially around Halloween, but the stories are becoming increasingly unbelievable. How many times can people put young ghost girls, footsteps, and giggling into one podcast? Many, MANY times, apparently. Of course, that doesn’t stop me from listening to it, but please. Some variation would be nice.
  • artist-who-uses-sketch123
    So good!!!
    ‘Spooked’ is one of my favorite podcasts (and I listen to MANY being an animator working from home:)) The production is flawless, the host is engaging and I enjoy his voice, and the stories are told well. Fabulous editing, sound, music—always a quality listen! Thank you!!!
  • Kbumb
    I become giddy…
    When I see a new episode become available!
  • ludfisk
    Top notch
    I love Glynn Washington, and I love Spooked! The production quality is top notch.
  • mooglitz
    It gets better story needs workshopping
    Love the podcast- big fan- hope last story is an anomaly. it was hard to follow and not up to spooked storytelling standards!
  • rameyramey
    Scripts and ads in the middle = not spooky
    For as long as I’ve been searching, this podcast has been the *only* one to really nail the ghost story format, largely because the guests come from all camps (with some being skeptics), and the stories seem natural and told from memory (+ some editing and production magic to make them more coherent). Lately, the stories have been sounding like creative writing assignments recited at theatre camp, and the increasingly frequent reveal that the guest has some book out about their “ghostly experiences” at the end completely shatters the illusion that these encounters actually happened (Glynn’s calls for stories from listeners also take away from this - the idea that these stories are from people who aren’t necessarily fans is crucial). The mid-episode ads deliver the final blow, absolutely destroying any spooky ambience that the story *has* managed to build.
  • KGirl,K
    BANGER- New episodes soon?!
    What else is there to say ? If you love spooky stories in the dead of night (or whenever), you’ve come to the right place. G and the team do fear top-notch with Spooked. ♥️♥️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Side note: As a repetitive listener, can we expect new episodes soon ?! LOVE THIS SHOW.
  • munchiekat
    ads in the middle really ruin the vibe
    I love this podcast, I've been listening to it since it first came out. However, this newish thing with putting ads in the middle of a scary story just isn't cool. Totally ruins the moment and it takes you out of the story. Put them at the beginning or the end but please take them out of the middle.
  • CareySmith777
    Great spooky stories!
    Love the format of the show from the small vignettes that Glynn tells about his life to the spooky stories told by folks around the world. A polished and engaging series!
  • mysterymach
    still a classic.
    I used to hate Glen's stories at the beginning but now they have grown on me. It was the only thing i didn't care for about this pod. This and Radio Rental are my go-to's for true stories. However....the Murmur was THEEE WORST show i have ever heard in this series. OMG. Terrible.
  • Stella_lunaa
    Best spooky show
    Best podcast for spooky stories, I just wish the episodes we longer!
  • Everard61
    Host is super annoying
    Not sure the point of the extended weird monologue.
  • shirkinerd
    Captivating, well-produced
    I love this podcast! I would have given it 5 stars but I don’t like the host’s commentaries so I usually have to skip past the intros and monologues to the stories themselves.

    Best Podcast
    This has been my favorite podcast for years. I looked forward every year to the “Campfire” episodes on Snap Judgement 10 years ago. So happy that they made an entire podcast of those scary stories. I love Glen! Love Glen’s stories. My favorite host by far. I don’t mind the repeat episodes, the work that goes into making each episode is extensive! This podcast is art.
  • frainch toast
    Glen is the best storyteller ever
    I love Glenn and his preludes and I love this show. Well done thank you so much.
  • jfdrijdyjf
    Love Glenn
    One of my favorites. Always look forward to the next episode.
  • devil zilla
    Still talking??
    It’s enough to be a good host and curator. Leave it there.

    Best creepy podcast stories
    I am so glad I found this podcast. Spooked is the best! Mr Washington really has some great stories to tell as a prelude. The way he describes events and things are so realistic that you truly can ‘see’ in your mind’s eyes! And all the stories are just so creepy that it brings chills down my spine. I listen to this podcast everyday except at night. Not going to creep myself out😁
  • DevDavi11
    Spooked lover
    Me and my son have been listening to spooked for at least two years now and we always listen to it in the car but refuse to listen to it at night during bed time we thank you deeply Glynn for creating this podcast.
  • intenseboat
    Used to be good
    I used to really love this show. I feel like recently the quality of the stories has gone downhill and whoever decided it was a good idea to put ads in the middle of a story should be fired.
  • KrissyDub
    Repeat Episodes
    I’ve been listening to Spooked for years now and have always been a huge fan. So much so that I decided to pay for additional content. Now though, can anyone explain why they keep re-releasing old episodes?! Seriously thinking about canceling this subscription.
  • podgirlfromtheblacklagoon
    I used to love this podcast.
    This was a great podcast until they started on the repeats. Rarely get a new episode and they refuse to label the repeat episodes so you have to look it up on the web to see which ones are new and which ones are old.
  • 941kingd
    Simply Amazing
    I love the show I listened from the first season all the way through most current episodes. I paid for premium just to make sure I did not miss an episode. I love it so much I find myself wanting to start listening from the beginning again just Incase I missed something 🤣

    Weekly ghost story fix!
    I’m always excited for Fridays even more because new episodes drop. I love the highly produced first person ghost tales. I’m so glad this podcast came back to weekly broadcasts! Thanks, Spooked! 💖👻
  • jaxferg
    Incredible but
    This host is the utter worst! His babbling never goes with the stories, just skip 3-5 minutes ahead to get to the great stuff!
  • Kenare23723
    Great stories
    Spooky and compelling

    Love listening to the show on my weekends when I’m cooking or making art. The host is engaging, the show atmospheric, and the stories riveting.
  • An average Spooked enthusiast
    Great podcast
    I would rate this 6 stars if I could. Great editing and choice of music. The stories are always amazing and so entertaining.
  • Feisty Al
    Always Great
    Always a great listen every week. One of the top three paranormal podcasts out there.

    Listening to the Fog- hits home
    I just discovered the podcast. Fellow Michigander and claustrophobic, the opening of this one had me saying, “yes, exactly!” Aloud, mid-chore, indeed. Do.not.bury.me.
  • rayanne53
    Whoa.
    I am for the first time horrified and suddenly surprised at the same time, but in a terrifyingly wondrous way… speechless 😶
  • madcopygirl
    Lovely. Moving. Terrifying.
    I cannot come up with enough positive adjectives about this podcast. All I can say is, as I enter my third year of job searching nonstop (never stopping, its almost as if I’m cursed, I tell you, blacklisted, marked, stigmatized), I can only pray with all my tired, weary, spooky heart that, someday, I can find a workplace in which so much creativity (writing, music, poetry, whistles, footsteps, heartbeats) and gasp-causing, genuine spooks come together to create such a bone-chilling, skin-tingling result. I don’t even care if I end up with a hitchhiker (oh it’s a thing, not exactly a good one). Please God, let me have a livelihood as lively as all the dead in all these many stories that sometimes lull me to sleep. Amen.
