The Hollow Rooms Part 1 by Ian Harris | A twisted Christmas nightmare
Season 1 · Episode 11
mercredi 10 décembre 2025 • Duration 31:08
The perfect holiday retreat holds a deep, dark, twisted secret...
"The Hollow Rooms stood on the crest of the mountain like a black crown…. A long drive curved up through wrought iron gates, their bars twisted into the shapes of roses and thorns. The two figures who had been waiting were staff members—a man in a black suit with a gold watch chain, and a woman in a gray dress buttoned high to her neck. Both were pale in a way that spoke of years indoors, but there was something else, too: a stillness in their faces, as though their smiles had been painted on and dried there. “Welcome to the Hollow Rooms,” the man said, bowing slightly. His voice was low and smooth, like polished wood. “You must be the Morgan family. We’ve been expecting you…”
This original paranormal horror story explores isolated hotels, eerie hosts, and the creeping realization that some places don’t let their guests go.
This is part one of a two-part Haunted Holiday story.

Driftstone Marsh by Jason Wells | A dramatic holiday horror
Season 1 · Episode 10
mercredi 3 décembre 2025 • Duration 45:54
A late-night drive. A snow-covered road. Something moving just beyond the headlights...
"Heart pounding, he exhaled a shaky breath and forced himself to look left, then right. Nothing. No headlights, no shapes, nothing at all. Who else would be out here on a night like this? He was about to move off when something caught his eye—a flicker of movement in the field opposite...A dark shape, large, powerful, tearing across the snow. He couldn’t tell what it was, only that it moved fast, until it vanished into the swirling snow and the ink-black night beyond.
‘What the hell…?’ Riley muttered. He rubbed condensation from the windscreen, but it made no difference. Muttering a curse, he shoved the door open and stood half in, half out, peering across the hedgerow. The night pressed close, thick with falling snow.
Then it came..."
What should have been a quiet journey home after a Christmas party quickly turns into something far more terrifying, as something unseen begins to follow — just out of sight, just beyond reach.This original paranormal horror story explores isolation, winter dread, and the terrifying moment when you realize you are not alone in the dark.
If you enjoy this story, continue your listening with:
Deathly Cold (a chilling winter horror where the environment itself becomes the threat)
The Hollow Rooms (a twisted and disorienting story where reality itself begins to break down)
Okuri Inu and Rain? (a terrifying tale of something that follows… and what happens if you stop)

The Overcoat by LD Brown | A sweeping Victorian style vampire story
Season 1 · Episode 9
mercredi 26 novembre 2025 • Duration 01:02:11
A simple request. A careful craft. A garment that carries something far darker within it.
"My father was in a strange mood that day. He welcomed me with genuine warmth and appeared, to me at least, quite comfortable and content in his soft armchair and his cup perched delicately on the left knee. His words, however, were of the most serious sort; he betrayed no emotion by stating the facts clearly and with a certain stiff formality. I was informed that he had something very important to tell…"
What begins as a routine commission soon becomes something far more unsettling, as a tailor finds himself entangled in a request that feels wrong from the very beginning.Some things are simply not meant to be made... This original paranormal horror story explores influence, control, and the quiet horror of becoming part of something one doesn't fully understand.
If you enjoy this story, continue your listening with:
Bleakmore: A Gothic Tale (a richly atmospheric story steeped in gothic tradition and quiet dread)
Mother Never Liked Dead Things (a haunting tale of love, attachment, and the consequences of refusing to let go)
The Wedding Dress (a sweeping, time-laced story where the past refuses to stay buried)

Blackdamp by T. J. McLaughlin | A supernatural thriller
mercredi 19 novembre 2025 • Duration 30:49
Some things should never be unearthed...
"Pierce saw a large group of men appear from a bellowing wall of white. Like ghostly figures emerging from beyond the supernatural veil. They were carrying a man on a makeshift stretcher. Pierce’s eyes still were not great, and he thought someone had covered the man in a velvet blanket for warmth, but as the struggling group got closer, he could see that it was no blanket. Blood covered the man from head to toe..."
Beneath the surface, where air grows thin and light disappears, something ancient waits, and once it’s disturbed, there may be no way to contain it.This original paranormal horror story explores underground terror, unseen forces, and the deadly consequences of digging too deep.
If you enjoy this story, continue your listening with:
Spores (a deeply unsettling tale where something unfamiliar begins to spread and take hold)
Fossils (a disturbing discovery that proves the past is never truly buried)
The Thing in the Wall (a creeping horror where something hidden begins to make itself known)
About the Author
T.J. McLaughlin writes dark, suspenseful fiction influenced by authors such as H.P. Lovecraft, Clive Cussler, Agatha Christie, and Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. He is currently developing Blackdamp into a full-length novel.You can find more of his work via the links below:
