Skinwalker: Horror Stories
Creator at Obomedia
136 episodes
What would you do if something in the dark could imitate what feels familiar without truly being human? Skinwalker Horror Stories brings you unsettling tales built around terrifying encounters with strange figures that seem to cross the line between person and predator. We explore stories where fear grows from uncertainty. You may recognize a voice that should not be there or notice a presence behaving almost correctly. We keep the tension focused on one disturbing question: what happens when you cannot trust what you see? We publish new episodes every day so you can return to a different encounter and another mystery waiting in the darkness. Each story gives us a new way to explore the fear surrounding skinwalker legends while giving you another reason to keep listening. The most frightening moment may not be when something appears. It may be when you realize it has been watching long enough to know how to seem familiar, and you still have to discover what is actually standing there. :::
