The Something Scary podcast brings listeners the chills and thrills of horror stories. Listeners better prepare for their worst nightmares. The stories narrated on the podcast could be mistaken for horror movie plotlines. Fans of the occult, paranormal, and good storytelling may find the podcast engaging.
Something Scary began as a YouTube animated series. When Sapphire Sandalo created the show in 2016, she had no idea how popular it would become. The show expanded into a podcast series in 2018. The following September, Sapphire left the series. Self-proclaimed witch and medium Markeia McCarty began hosting the podcast soon after. Mid-2022 saw Blair Bathory and Steffany Strange become cohosts of the podcast. Bathory is a filmmaker and founder of Fear Haus, a production company. Strange calls herself a psychic medium and has a large social media following. She is famous for sharing scary stories on her platform.
Despite having gone through several hosts, Something Scary has maintained its originality. The scary essence that defined the show's success from early on is present in each episode. Whether the story is about bloodlust or vengeful ghosts, each episode is hair-raising. The storytelling and hosts' vocals on the podcast are commendable. The musical ambiance amplifies a great experience.
Most of the tales narrated on Something Scary are listener-submitted. Podcast episodes also contain several stories. One story per episode becomes a YouTube animated story. Examples of tales on the podcast include stalking demons, haunted hospitals, and nightmares that bleed into the real world. The stories challenge the boundaries of reality, forcing listeners to re-examine their beliefs. The horror stories shared on the podcast are not scary for the fun of it. They come from experiences shared by real-life people. New episodes come out each week.
