Echoes in the Dark: Original Stories, True Hauntings, and Horror Genre Explored
The Dark Side of Storytelling…
Echoes in the Dark: Original Stories, True Hauntings, & Horror Genre Explored is a horror podcast focused on psychological and folk horror, featuring original short stories, true haunting accounts, and deep dives into the lore, films, and cultural nightmares that shape the genre.
Each episode invites listeners into unsettling worlds designed to make you question the noise in the hallway, rethink old houses, and linger in the quiet dread that lives between myth and memory.
The podcast is hosted by John Keaser Jr., founder of Dark Hollow Media LLC, with the occasional unhinged commentary from Macabre Bob. Echoes in the Dark blends twisted storytelling with research, realism, and just enough adult sarcasm to make your therapist concerned. Expect dark humor, creeping atmosphere, folklore-driven horror, and honest reactions fueled by caffeine, trauma, and questionable life choices.
If you like your horror atmospheric, your folklore unsettling, and your jokes a little too inappropriate for HR—welcome home.
Some echoes whisper.
These ones bite.
