Description
<p>Welcome to Tales from the Janitor, your slightly questionable, definitely sleep-ruining tour through Pennsylvania’s creepiest legends, haunted hollows, and why is that glowing in the woods? Mysteries... all told by your local mop-carrying menace who knows way too much about things that go bump under fluorescent lighting.</p><p>This episode? Oh, we’re diving deep into the Keystone State... where shadowy figures linger along old coal mines, phantom hitchhikers don’t wait for Ubers, and ancient things lurk somewhere between the Appalachians and the Wawa parking lot at 2am. From Gettysburg ghosts to strange whispers in abandoned steel mills, Pennsylvania’s got more hauntings than potholes… and that’s saying something. Every tale drips with atmosphere, slow building dread, and that slightly sarcastic janitor humor you only get from someone who’s swept up more paranormal messes than spilled chocolate milk. So if you’re into real ghost stories, roadside legends, or my grandma swears this actually happened”Appalachian folklore, you’re in the right place.</p><p>Why Listen?</p><p>• Bone-chilling Pennsylvania legends and small-town hauntings</p><p>• A darkly funny first-person ride with your suspiciously informed janitor host</p><p>• Perfect for fans of paranormal podcasts, horror storytelling, and spooky Northeast folklore</p><p>The show is free—but keeping the ghosts mostly chill and the lights flickering on purpose takes some effort. If you’re enjoying the ride, drop a review, share the show with your bravest friend, or donate a cup of Wawa coffee strong enough to banish a demon (results not guaranteed).</p><p>Thanks for tuning in… and whatever you do, don’t open the janitor’s closet in the abandoned high school off I-76.</p><p>There are… things in there. And they do not appreciate visitors.</p><p></p><p>Stories</p><p>The Bus to Nowhere</p><p>The Wonderful, Mysterious Squonk</p><p>The Story</p><p>Dead's Man's Hollow</p><p>The Goblin of Easton</p><p></p><p>Credits</p><p>Director – Roo Ryder</p><p>Developed & Created by – Steve Lloyd</p><p>Writer - Steve Lloyd</p><p>Script Writer – Jon DeBenedict</p><p>Script Editor – Gems</p><p>Executive Producer – Steve Lloyd</p><p>Editor - Steve Lloyd</p><p>Sound Design - Steve Lloyd</p><p></p><p>Starring Jeremy Tucker as The Janitor</p><p>Cast:</p><p>Call Screener - John Po</p><p>Radio Host - JPHinman</p><p>Samantha - MJ Guenther</p><p>Jeb - Johnny Penny</p><p>Elmer - NJ Unwin</p><p>Martha - Meagan Aldridge</p><p>Squonk - J.R.

Any overlap with real people, places, or that weird roadside attraction where a wooden sasquatch stares into your soul is purely coincidence… or the unavoidable result of eating mystery pierogies at a sketchy rest stop somewhere outside Scranton.</p><p></p><p>#horrorpodcast #pennsylvanialegends #paranormalstories</p>
