Tales From the Janitor

Tales from the Janitor: Chilling Urban Legends from Pennsylvania | Horror Audio Drama

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. 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. Why Listen? • Bone-chilling Pennsylvania legends and small-town hauntings • A darkly funny first-person ride with your suspiciously informed janitor host • Perfect for fans of paranormal podcasts, horror storytelling, and spooky Northeast folklore 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). Thanks for tuning in… and whatever you do, don’t open the janitor’s closet in the abandoned high school off I-76. There are… things in there. And they do not appreciate visitors.

Tales from the Janitor: Chilling Urban Legends from Oklahoma | Horror Audio Drama

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.
