Haunting podcast

Haunting

Haunting, Purgatory’s premier podcast, shares weekly, real-life paranormal stories told by those who experienced them first-hand. Some will be unsettling... Some unnerving… And some are even downright terrifying! Haunting brings audiences into the story through first-hand accounts and immersive audio, giving listeners the feeling of coming face-to-face with the unexplainable. Hosted by Theresa (Teh-rez-ah), an "influencer" who tragically died before she could get the proverbial "little blue check in life," is stuck in the Eternal Twilight until she figures out how to finish her "unfinished business." Just like when she was alive and active on every social media platform, Theresa promises to always give her audience the -- mostly -- unfiltered look into her life, now afterlife. But instead of snarky social commentary, OOTDs, and hyper-edited selfies, with the help of her producer, Len, and succubus from Hell turned intern, Naomi, Theresa aims to help the living see that ghosts are just former people who want to have a little fun like anyone else, even though it's often in the form of mortal fear and suffering.

While dealing with intern issues and personal drama, Therésa shares JJ’s experience as a late-night hospital security guard who was in over his head.

Introducing: Haunting

Haunting is Purgatory’s premier podcast. Each week, Haunting shares real-life paranormal podcasts told by those who experienced them first-hand. Hosted by Therésa (Teh-rez-ah), a dead person and influencer from the "other side," she's heard the other shows out there and believes nothing says lifeless like a paranormal podcast hosted by a mere mortal. The role of Therésa will be voiced by the quick-witted and hilarious comedian Lauren Lapkus, who starred in the projects The Wrong Missy, Netflix's The Characters, and Orange Is The New Black.  If you would like to reach out to the Haunting team and share your own ghost story, email us at  [HauntingThePodcast@gmail.com.] (mailto:HauntingThePodcast@gmail.com)   See [omnystudio.com/listener] (https://omnystudio.com/listener) for privacy information. ...
