    Can’t get enough!
    Can’t get enough of those beats, those words, and that voice! Keep em coming, Mr. Washington. You are the best!

    Spooky stories the best, host stories the worst.
    Most positive is the overall production. BIG SHOUTOUT to the crew and all the music and sound fx!! You guys crush it for easy and engaged listening. It’s great to hear produced stories that really building on the overall effect instead of just a one note kind of deal, there’s nothing like this out there tbh - the full production is really heard and makes the stories that much more effective. It makes for an easy listen and great for drives and traffic. It’s a 5 EXCEPT for the host and his off putting voices (and that is being VERY kind - they’re really offensive) and the constant reruns instead of new material. Some of Glynn’s stories make no sense, most seem made up — and he was always my least favorite part of Snap Judgement too. He could learn a thing from ITAH host who introduces the podcast and gives warning and then let’s the person tell their own story instead of pontificating about events that only happen in imagination (looking at you, Glynn!). And please stop having your friends defend you on here, mate, it’s weird and just pathetic. It’s clear most listeners aren’t a fan, maybe listen to them instead of being defensive. Honestly his stories seem fake and his fake voices are mildly insulting to southerners. Just skip over Glynn and enjoy the show!

    Love, but…
    Love this show and Glynn is an incredible host. His storytelling is so quality, it’s like a bonus when you hear the listener stories afterwards. I consistently look forward to finding a new ep on a Friday morning so, thank you Snap Judgement.

    Love it

    True stories of the supernatural?
    Stories from listeners about experiences with ghosts and the like. True or not entertaining to listen to.
  • pixiegirl1106
    The theme song alone is worth 5 stars
    Amazing stories from an entertaining host. I can’t get enough of the music.
  • Jessie in Chi
    Consistently great!
    As the title says, this show is consistently great. Glynn is an amazing host and I love his stories. I like the variety of stories shared. I absolutely love love love this podcast!

    Brilliant
    The fact that I don’t at all believe in the supernatural is testament to this show. Glynn has created (along with other fantastic creators) a genius combination of sound, storytelling and ambience that transports me to another realm. I love listening at night. I can close my eyes and drift off to the sound of Glynn’s hypnotic voice and go to sleep listening to this podcast, or I can listen to fun fictional accounts while doing house chores. I absolutely believe these stories… what I mean by that is the storyteller probably experienced some sort of anomaly that they can’t understand or explain, and they, along with the producers, did what humans have done since humans: used imagination and creativity to spin the experience into a great story. While I don’t believe in the supernatural, I love a good mystery! I like the theme music, written by songwriter Patrick Misti-Miller, so much that I added it to my playlist. I highly recommend this to anyone. Even a skeptic. If you are a true believer, listen with caution and maybe not at night. Cuz you’ll be super super spooked!

    Great but….
    I have always loved this podcast. So much that I subscribed to it to pay for luminary monthly, but I have noticed that for the past year many many many episodes are repeat and I am actually about to cancel the subscription because of this. Makes me sad but, I don’t feel like I need to pay that money for reruns
  • mysterymach
    still a classic.
    I used to hate Glen's stories at the beginning but now they have grown on me. It was the only thing i didn't care for about this pod. Now I look forward to his openers! This and Radio Rental are my go-to's for true stories. However....the Murmur was THEEE WORST show i have ever heard in this series. OMG. Terrible. But its so rare to get a truly terrible story that i am always excited for a new episode.

    Real Life “Twilight Zone” . . .
    Such a magical, mystical, insightful show! From incredible intros (sometimes sinister, sometimes silly, always compelling) to the stunning production -- TEN STARS! The host is a special type of wizard who sets the stage for amazing narrative journeys. Be afraid, and don't turn out the lights!!
  • Sandy D S
    Just the story please
    I’m sorry, but ben Washington’s monologues are just too long and superfluous. They’re not even true stories and they take up so much of the episode. If I’m being honest, I just want to hear the spooky story that’s been submitted and cut Ben out entirely.
  • JXG.XO
    My favorite podcast!
    I’ve been listening for years and I absolutely love this podcast!! Thank you spooked!
  • MossyBank
    Perfection
    My all time favorite for spooky stories. A well made podcast with a great host. You can’t get anything better, truly.
  • Abcdnopqrstuvwxyz123987
    Talk less host
    Quarter of the episode is dude rambling
  • lovely_702_310
    Spooked
    This has got to the the best podcast on the market! If you like spooky stories. Then your in the right place. Please no need to look elsewhere! I really look forward to the new episodes that drop every Friday!
  • 😭😭😭 😭
    RE-RUNS
    I’m begging, please just label your re-run a as re-runs. It’s so frustrating as a listener. Love the show and don’t mind re listening to certain episodes, but I just don’t understand why you can’t label it as such. You guys do not care about your listeners at all. So frustrating.

    So sigma And poopy Good
  • General Xiao
    Scary, not gory.
    This is just scary enough for me. Great stories and really well done. I download them and save them for daytime cleaning.
  • Myr F
    Love it, aside from the sound effects
    This is a great paranormal story-telling podcast and definitely worth a listen. I will say that the sound effects can be annoying, though. Just listened to the most recent episode where they were eating dinner in the story and a sound effect of a person chewing food sent me into a spiral. Whyyy
  • Noethanku
    Sister sister
    This story is an urban legend and has been done (better) on another podcast. Spooked, you’ve gone downhill and I’m over it. Yawn.
  • Dirt on you
    So good
    This is in a class by itself. The music is perfectly timed and constructed, the host is the easiest to dive in with-personal and smooth, the narration is spot on, never too much-never too little, the editing is impeccable. Hearing these stories from the people who have had the experience is the punch that takes this all the way. I cannot get enough. I share it with everyone I can. Thank you all for your incredible work.
  • Shinguil
    Long time listener and fan
    I love this podcast! Great story telling and amazing community. I remember when it was just a segment on the Snap Judgment podcast. Seeing how it evolved through the years is amazing. If you’re looking for some high quality audio theatre of the mind, check out this podcast
  • Mrs. Nardo
    Love the show but…
    I really wish new episodes were always new, instead of reruns set up as new.
  • GimmeStrawburry
    Not just spooky but deeply emotional
    Host Glynn Washington brings tears to my eyes with almost every intro story. Understanding another human’s experience is a privilege and Glynn not only brings his life and experience into full color but gives others the opportunity to do the same. There are stories I have heard on Spooked that I will never forget. This isn’t just another platform for creepy stories. It’s an emotional journey. The music is great, the production quality is top-notch and other podcasts just aren’t good enough. Thank you Mr. Washington for putting so much of your heart and soul into this work and sharing it. It’s not lost on me.
  • Spookypickle420
    Enough music.
    Get to the story. You don’t need 30-45 seconds of instrumental spooky music. Skip skip skip skip all the time
  • Apft girl
    Very cool and surprisingly unique!
    I’ve listened to a lot of scary “true” story podcasts and this is by far the best in terms of standing out. The host is fantastic, the production really adds to the vibe, and the stories are actually different from those shared among other pods in the same genre. Really great execution!
  • pooishpea
    Spooksters, the show starts NOW
    This show is my whole vibe. I heard about this show from the podcast None of This is Real. I’m so glad that I followed their suggestion. I absolutely adore this show and their creators.
  • Spookingme
    Re-runs
    Stop posting re-run episodes as new. I love this show so much and pray there will be new episodes every week! Such a disappointment when it’s a re-run.
  • BigEinThumb
    My favorite
    I will say I look forward to each episode and some I’ve heard from when it was on it’s original platform. The host is interesting and engaging, the spooksters are good, just every episode feels like a story. I know one season wasn’t so gray but a bad season of Spooked is better than the best of most podcasts.
  • esilesetin
    Repetitive
    I used to LOVE this podcast, especially around Halloween, but the stories are becoming increasingly unbelievable. How many times can people put young ghost girls, footsteps, and giggling into one podcast? Many, MANY times, apparently. Of course, that doesn’t stop me from listening to it, but please. Some variation would be nice.
  • artist-who-uses-sketch123
    So good!!!
    ‘Spooked’ is one of my favorite podcasts (and I listen to MANY being an animator working from home:)) The production is flawless, the host is engaging and I enjoy his voice, and the stories are told well. Fabulous editing, sound, music—always a quality listen! Thank you!!!
  • Kbumb
    I become giddy…
    When I see a new episode become available!
  • ludfisk
    Top notch
    I love Glynn Washington, and I love Spooked! The production quality is top notch.
  • mooglitz
    It gets better story needs workshopping
    Love the podcast- big fan- hope last story is an anomaly. it was hard to follow and not up to spooked storytelling standards!
  • rameyramey
    Scripts and ads in the middle = not spooky
    For as long as I’ve been searching, this podcast has been the *only* one to really nail the ghost story format, largely because the guests come from all camps (with some being skeptics), and the stories seem natural and told from memory (+ some editing and production magic to make them more coherent). Lately, the stories have been sounding like creative writing assignments recited at theatre camp, and the increasingly frequent reveal that the guest has some book out about their “ghostly experiences” at the end completely shatters the illusion that these encounters actually happened (Glynn’s calls for stories from listeners also take away from this - the idea that these stories are from people who aren’t necessarily fans is crucial). The mid-episode ads deliver the final blow, absolutely destroying any spooky ambience that the story *has* managed to build.
  • KGirl,K
    BANGER- New episodes soon?!
    What else is there to say ? If you love spooky stories in the dead of night (or whenever), you’ve come to the right place. G and the team do fear top-notch with Spooked. ♥️♥️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Side note: As a repetitive listener, can we expect new episodes soon ?! LOVE THIS SHOW.
  • munchiekat
    ads in the middle really ruin the vibe
    I love this podcast, I've been listening to it since it first came out. However, this newish thing with putting ads in the middle of a scary story just isn't cool. Totally ruins the moment and it takes you out of the story. Put them at the beginning or the end but please take them out of the middle.
  • CareySmith777
    Great spooky stories!
    Love the format of the show from the small vignettes that Glynn tells about his life to the spooky stories told by folks around the world. A polished and engaging series!
  • Stella_lunaa
    Best spooky show
    Best podcast for spooky stories, I just wish the episodes we longer!
  • Everard61
    Host is super annoying
    Not sure the point of the extended weird monologue.
  • shirkinerd
    Captivating, well-produced
    I love this podcast! I would have given it 5 stars but I don’t like the host’s commentaries so I usually have to skip past the intros and monologues to the stories themselves.
  • Peeweesah
    Best Podcast
    This has been my favorite podcast for years. I looked forward every year to the “Campfire” episodes on Snap Judgement 10 years ago. So happy that they made an entire podcast of those scary stories. I love Glen! Love Glen’s stories. My favorite host by far. I don’t mind the repeat episodes, the work that goes into making each episode is extensive! This podcast is art.
  • frainch toast
    Glen is the best storyteller ever
    I love Glenn and his preludes and I love this show. Well done thank you so much.
  • jfdrijdyjf
    Love Glenn
    One of my favorites. Always look forward to the next episode.
  • devil zilla
    Still talking??
    It’s enough to be a good host and curator. Leave it there.

    Best creepy podcast stories
    I am so glad I found this podcast. Spooked is the best! Mr Washington really has some great stories to tell as a prelude. The way he describes events and things are so realistic that you truly can ‘see’ in your mind’s eyes! And all the stories are just so creepy that it brings chills down my spine. I listen to this podcast everyday except at night. Not going to creep myself out😁
  • DevDavi11
    Spooked lover
    Me and my son have been listening to spooked for at least two years now and we always listen to it in the car but refuse to listen to it at night during bed time we thank you deeply Glynn for creating this podcast.
  • intenseboat
    Used to be good
    I used to really love this show. I feel like recently the quality of the stories has gone downhill and whoever decided it was a good idea to put ads in the middle of a story should be fired.
  • KrissyDub
    Repeat Episodes
    I’ve been listening to Spooked for years now and have always been a huge fan. So much so that I decided to pay for additional content. Now though, can anyone explain why they keep re-releasing old episodes?! Seriously thinking about canceling this subscription.
