A pretty decent collection of real life experiences with the supernatural. I do wish the show would investigate the claims rather than just recount them for the most part.

Naprawdę nie wiem, czemu tego słucham. Pewnie przez te wszystkie stare nawiedzone domy, moją największą słabość. Znowu, podcast w tym samym formacie co wszystkie pozostałe z produkcji Robinsa i boleśnie brytyjskie, a jak słyszę wypowiedzi "ekspertów" to parskam śmiechem. Sprawdza się jako dźwięki tła do tarcia marchewki i sprzątania szczurzej klatki.

Uncanny and Haunted Podcasts Reviews
Uncanny:
My first introduction to the cheesy Danny Robin’s, thanks to a recommendation from a friend. I only recently got into horror podcasts after stumbling on the Magnus Archives but this is my first dalliance with investigative non-fiction or “real life” ghost stories.
The whole set up of having two parapsychologists a ‘sceptic’ and ‘believer’ debate their sides on each case is super camp and often leads to incredibly earnest and unintentionally hilarious moments. Add in a line up of everyday people with big characters and a story to tell, the bumbling Danny Robins and some genuinely good ghostly tales- whether true or not- and I’m sold!
Haunted:
Having to put my Haunted review here as it not on Goodreads currently. Haunted walked so Uncanny could run. I did enjoy this as a much slower less produced version of Uncanny. However my main critique is I really missed the sceptic versus believer analysis. Evelyn Hollows is the best bit of Danny Robins’ podcasts.

A really great listen, very interesting way of exploring all things spooky and love the experts input. Not quite enjoying season 3 as much as the rest, but that may be because I just love a British ghost story!

Less interesting than the Battersea Poltergeist, as not enough attention is given to each case.

I really like uncanny. I love the balanced view and the audience participation from week to week. I’m team sceptic but I love a good ghost story.
