Spooky Story Time

Havenwood’s quaint December charm hides a ritual that chills the town to its bones. Each Christmas Eve, a reclusive resident dons an immaculate scarlet suit and walks the streets in silence. At first a local eccentric, his midnight rounds become something far darker when families begin to change, children fall ill, and a tiny carved token appears on a windowsill. But one year, Arthur stops outside my home. A perfectly carved wooden mouse is left at the window, etched with the initials A.F. and the single word NICE. That small object becomes a terrifying guarantee and a parent’s ultimatum: keep their child on the right side of Arthur’s inscrutable tally or face consequences no one can explain. This episode blends folklore and domestic horror, exploring how a silent figure in a red suit can become an arbiter of fate. Is Arthur Finch is a protector, a judge, or something far worse?

I never thought a greeting card could ruin my life, but for twelve Decembers it has. Every year a new card arrives—first a glittery Santa, then a photo taken through my window, then a strand of my own hair tucked behind a pressed flower—and each one escalates the terror. I moved, changed my locks, installed cameras, and even filed reports, but the cards keep coming, always beginning the first week of December and always getting closer. This episode is my story of escalation and resolve. I describe the creeping dread of being watched, the small, personal details the sender somehow knows, and the moment this year’s card arrived with a jagged hole and a message that felt like a final warning. I tell you why I’m done waiting for the police to catch whoever is doing this, why I’m going back to the place it started, and how I’m preparing to confront the person—or thing—behind the annual harassment. If you like tense, personal horror that blends true‑crime dread with domestic invasion terror, press play. This is for listeners who want a chilling, first‑person account of obsession, surveillance, and the holiday season turned into a countdown. I’ll be honest, raw, and unflinching—this is my plan, my fear, and my last chance to stop the December deliveries.

A twenty‑year nightmare becomes disturbingly real when I return to my childhood street to confront the source of decades of sleep‑paralysing dreams. What was meant to be a rational, daylight exorcism of memory turns into a confrontation with an impossible, decaying house that matches every architectural detail of the recurring dream. A brass key, a chipped ceramic fawn, and a black‑peepholed door built on a void forces them to face the terrifying possibility that the dream is not merely a product of the mind but a place that can appear, and disappear, at will. This story blends psychological horror with uncanny architecture and the sensation that some places are alive with intent. For fans of suburban hauntings, dream‑logic horror, and stories where the boundary between waking life and nightmare collapses.

Turn off the lights for tonight's chilling tale of shared living gone impossibly wrong. In The Outside Lock, a new tenant moves into a perfect Victorian flat and meets their roommate Chloe only once - a brief glimpse through a cracked door. For three months, Chloe exists only as notes on creamy cardstock, the scent of rosewater, and precise morning sounds. But when she discovers Chloe's door is bolted from the outside and uses the spare key to investigate, they find an empty room with only a farewell note thanking them "for never asking." Yet every morning at 7:30, the clink still sounds from the vacant, locked room. A haunting story about the tenants who were never quite alive and the keys that open doors to nothing. Perfect for grown-ups who've lived with strange roommates.

On this episode, a grieving sibling downloads a viral app as a desperate distraction and receives a reply that should be impossible. What begins as cynical curiosity turns into a bone‑deep shock when the app answers with private memories only the narrator and their late sister shared. A hidden locket, a childhood secret about a botched haircut, and a napkin note no one else knew about arrive as text messages from beyond - or from a disturbingly clever scam. This episode explores themes of loss, longing, and the dangerous comfort of technology that promises to bridge the final silence. Listeners who enjoy modern ghost stories, tech‑tinged hauntings, and emotionally charged twists will find this tale both unsettling and heartbreakingly human. Tune in to decide for yourself whether EchoLink was a cruel trick or a last, impossible message from someone who won’t let go. ------------ Beth's Spooky Story Time is your new favourite horror podcast, best enjoyed alone with headphones.
