Tales From the Janitor

Welcome to Tales from the Janitor, a spine-chilling plunge into Oklahoma’s most unsettling urban legends, prairie-born folklore, and red-dirt hauntings… all told through the mop-wielding perspective of your eerie (and oddly well-informed) custodial guide. In this episode, we drift past the wind-beaten plains and into the quiet corners of the Sooner State—where phantom oilmen wander forgotten rigs, ghostly cries echo through dust-covered small towns, and something ancient still hums beneath the red clay and cracked church floors. Every story is soaked in atmosphere, slow dread, and that dry humor you only find from someone who’s spent too many nights sweeping empty hallways in a haunted schoolhouse. Whether you crave true ghost stories, roadside legends, or chilling encounters from deep in Tornado Alley, Tales from the Janitor brings you Oklahoma horror with a wink and a warning. Why Listen? • Bone-chilling tales rooted in Oklahoma history and lore • A darkly humorous first-person journey with your cryptic janitor host • Perfect for fans of paranormal podcasts, immersive horror, and eerie Midwestern-Great Plains legends Each episode is free—but keeping the lights flickering and the spirits whispering takes a little elbow grease. If you like what you hear, consider leaving a review, sharing it with your bravest friends, or donating a cup of ghost-proof coffee. Thanks for tuning in… and whatever you do, don’t go snooping around that old janitor’s closet in the basement of the abandoned high school off Route 66. Some stains just don’t wash out.

A Story Carried in Silence follows the intimate, emotional journey of a mortician who prepares the dead with care, dignity, and quiet reverence. Through whispered conversations with the departed and encounters with the grieving, the mortician reveals the hidden weight of memory, loss, and the stories we leave behind. What begins as routine preparation becomes a haunting meditation on love, regret, and remembrance when a forgotten poet’s notebooks surface, connecting the living and the dead in unexpected ways. This story blends elements of psychological drama, gothic atmosphere, and quiet horror, offering listeners an immersive exploration of grief, dignity, and the echoes we leave behind. Perfect for fans of dark audio dramas, emotional storytelling, supernatural mysteries, and hauntingly beautiful narratives.
