It’s Halloween season, and even some of the most avid true-crime enthusiasts go from listening to cases about serial killers and missing persons to gravitating to stories about the paranormal. If that’s you, give Monsters Among Us a listen.
It’s a collection of first-hand audio recordings made directly from experiencers of various types of terrifying paranormal encounters. The host, Derek Hayes, gets the listeners in the right frame of mind in the first few seconds of every episode with his intentionally creepy voice. The Unsolved-Mysteries-like theme music does a good job of that, as well.
The show offers deep dives into supernatural subjects ranging from ghosts, UFOs, and alien abductions to bigfoot, sasquatch, and other cryptid creatures.
All of the stories presented in the podcast are, as the Monsters Among Us website reads, “true to the best of our knowledge.” Despite that disclaimer, skeptics may be quick to assume some stories are fabricated. However, most of the accounts are such that, at the very least, those telling the stories truly believe that what they witnessed was truly paranormal.
Whether you believe the stories or not, the podcast is definitely entertaining.
