About this podcast

Macabre Miscellanea is a curated collection of classic curiosities… and original nightmares. Expect first-person horror stories, public-domain readings, and Dark Posts from the archives—haunted objects, wrong-number calls, black-eyed kids, and the kind of quiet that feels watched. Dark humor shows up as a defense mechanism. Happy endings do not. Full video versions are on YouTube.
