Send us Fan MailFourteen downloads. That’s the gap between this weird little paranormal podcast and 10,000 total downloads, and I’m not quietly refreshing the stats until it happens. I’m turning the final stretch into a listener challenge, because the best part of this show has never been the numbers. It’s you, the people sitting on stories that still give you chills.I talk about what it’s like building an independent, niche show for nearly three years, why “slow burn” growth is still real progress, and how easy it is to compare yourself to massive podcasts that have been publishing since 2017. I also share a bit of what’s working behind the scenes, including why I use Buzzsprout and how it makes it easier to distribute the show and hear directly from listeners through messages and voicemails.Then we get to the fun part: send me your ghost stories, haunted house experiences, UFO sightings, cryptid encounters, and local legends, or pitch a paranormal topic that’s so strange I need to investigate it. I’m choosing one submission to win a personally put-together mystery prize box, and Michigan listeners get an extra challenge with the possibility of meeting up to join me on a real paranormal investigation.If you love spooky stories, urban legends, and true paranormal experiences, hit play, share this with a friend, and help push us over the line. Subscribe, leave a review, and send me your story so we can keep this strange community growing.Support the show
