Introducing: Fear Daily

Hi, listeners! Allow us to introduce you to Fear Daily, the brand new retro horror show that takes you into the shadows of the past, unearthing the 1990's most terrifying tales of monsters, madness, and life after death. Every day, from Monday to Friday, Fear Daily brings you two new stories of hauntings, monsters, cults and killers, all from the 1990s or before. Some of them might even be true, if you know where to look. Written by Brennan Storr of The Ghost Story Guys podcast, and narrated by Brandon Schexneider, creator of Southern Gothic, Fear Daily is pure handcrafted horror from two veteran storytellers. With most episodes clocking in around 25 minutes or less, Fear Daily is bite-size horror at its very best. Like what you hear?

Simon Gilbert | Perfect Water

Something tells you this two-pump station isn’t a contactless kind of place. Google Maps gave up the ghost several miles ago. You go inside and pay in cash.
