Things We Bury - Stripped
You tell yourself it's only paperwork. A signature here. A changed date there. Nothing worth losing sleep over. When a powerful funeral director offers you a promotion that could save your family from poverty, saying no feels impossible. But every favour draws you deeper into a world of disturbed graves, hidden secrets and questions that should never be asked of the dead. As Día de los Muertos approaches in Oaxaca, a series of increasingly disturbing assignments leads you towards a ritual buried beneath an old funeral home. In this haunting tale of guilt, greed and the things we can never truly bury, you'll learn that some ghosts don't need to haunt houses. They haunt consciences. Not for kids. Listener discretion advised. . This episode is a stripped edit - no SFX, just ambient music and dialogue to help you drift off into your nightmares. A full edit will be with you shortly.

Closing Time
You stay behind. Just fifteen more minutes, you tell yourself. One final edit, one last paragraph, and then you'll leave the university library. But when midnight passes and the building falls silent, you realise you may not be alone... What follows is a chilling encounter with something that doesn't merely watch. It studies. It learns. And it follows. In this unnerving tale of obsession, imitation, and the terror of being mirrored, you'll discover why some things are far more frightening than being alone.

Voice Memo
You think you know what happens while you sleep. You think the night is quiet, uneventful, yours. But when I began recording my sleep to check for snoring, I uncovered something far worse than restless nights. In this chilling tale of intrusion, imitation, and the dangers of being known too well, you’ll discover why some questions should never be answered in the dark.

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.
