Descripción

Cats disappear. It’s what they do. But when Barnaby - a grumpy, soot‑coloured moggy with a decade of predictable habits - vanishes for exactly twenty‑four hours and returns bone‑dry in a storm, something about him is… different. In this unsettling spooky story, a beloved housecat comes back marked: a perfect white triangle bleached into his fur, too sharp and too precise to be natural. His eyes shift from murky green to bright, predatory gold. And his behaviour changes from aloof to observational — not affectionate, not curious, but analytical, as though studying the narrator rather than living with her. What begins as odd staring escalates into something far stranger. For listeners who love uncanny pet horror, slow‑burn domestic dread, and stories where the familiar becomes alien, this episode delivers a creeping, existential terror that lingers long after the final line.

episode The Estate artwork

The Estate

Some houses collect dust. Others collect you. In this claustrophobic, antiquarian horror story, an estate liquidator is hired to catalogue the belongings of a reclusive hoarder, only to discover that the house has already begun cataloguing him. For listeners who love antique horror, cursed objects, haunted houses, and stories where the past refuses to stay boxed up, this episode delivers a suffocating, object‑driven dread that lingers long after the final clink.

episode Take Out artwork

Take Out

Some deliveries nourish you. Others claim you. In this creeping suburban horror story, a couple’s new home becomes the drop‑off point for groceries they never ordered, tailored with unnerving precision to their cravings, their memories, and eventually, their future. As the deliveries escalate, the couple spirals into a debate - stalker or ghost? Surveillance or haunting? But the truth feels like something in between: a presence that knows their habits, their hunger, their future. A presence tending to them like livestock. For listeners who love suburban dread, uncanny domesticity, and stories where generosity becomes possession, this episode delivers a slow, suffocating horror that lingers long after the last delivery. Not for kids - listener discretion advised. ------------ Beth's Spooky Story Time is your new favourite horror podcast, best enjoyed alone with headphones.

episode The Guest in the Margin artwork

The Guest in the Margin

A quiet cottage on the edge of town should be a sanctuary, but in this slow‑creeping, water‑logged haunting, the guest room becomes a place where something unseen lies down to sleep. She lives alone in a spacious old cottage, the kind with heavy oak furniture and a guest room no one ever uses. But one morning, the perfectly made bed bears a deep, unmistakable indentation. She smooths it out. Locks the door. Vacuums the carpet into flawless lines. Tapes the frame to catch any movement. The next morning, the tape is intact. The carpet is pristine. But the bed is occupied again. And this time, wet footprints - small, bare, and impossibly crisp - lead from the mattress to the closet door. For listeners who love water hauntings, domestic dread, and stories where the past seeps through the floorboards, this episode delivers a chilling, atmospheric ghost story that lingers like damp air long after the final line.

episode Eleventh Hour artwork

Eleventh Hour

Deadlines are supposed to be stressful, not supernatural. In this suffocating, time‑bending spooky story, a freelance designer pulling an all‑nighter discovers that the minute before midnight can stretch into something far more sinister. Ten years ago, desperate to impress a global client, she works through the night in a drafty Portland apartment. As she grinds through the project, the digital clock on her desk freezes at 11:59 PM. Minutes pass. Hours pass. Entire sections of work are completed... but the clock never moves. Then the world goes silent. Doctors blame carbon monoxide poisoning. She tries to believe them. But every night since, when the clock hits 11:58 PM, she finds herself staring at the doorway, waiting to see if the world will freeze again… For listeners who love liminal time horror, cosmic bureaucracy, and stories where the mundane becomes metaphysical, this episode delivers a chilling reminder that some deadlines aren’t just professional — they’re existential.
