Listener stories are always welcome at Superduperstitious, but not without raising the immortal question: are these stories GOOD?

Listener Nick Smith kindly provides a pair of personal accounts of the spooky, so Wyatt and Jake kindly provide feedback on their quality, since that’s what Nick was surely wanting. And they of course achieve this by comparing to some top notch stories from the Website of Only Good Writing, Reddit!

Wyatt begins by revisiting sleep paralysis. From ticked off Anubises to cuckolding ghosts, this segment’s got it all. Jake then goes Full PedanticTM with grammar as he looks into some haunted house happenings. NOTHING is more terrifying than verb/subject agreement.

Strap in for some good listening, and consider sending your own tales to [email protected]!

Previous Episode

Episode 94 – Strigoi Boiz

The Boiz are back, just as you’ve always known them and going by that one name you’ve always called them!

Thanks to a listener suggestion, this week is one full of not-quite-vampires, and their amazing similarities across cultures! After a positively thrilling update from the show’s official Field Correspondent, Jake starts with the Aswang, one of several billion terrifying mythological creatures to come out of the Philippines. Although both Jake and Wyatt learn that they had totally the wrong idea about what the Aswang is, they are able to at least continue to be creeped out by that damned tongue. So I guess fetuses are safe for now?

Wyatt then turns to Romania, not for your standard Transylvanian fare, but instead for some background on the strigoi, a pre-vampire with far more complicated rules and apparently much more involved methods of disposal. And thankfully, there is hope that these undead creeps may become functioning members of society again (at least once they stop stealing cattle).

Keep away from any lickholes in your domicile and be prepared to pry open your dead loved ones with a pitchfork while you tune in to another fun episode of Superduperstitious!

Next Episode

Episode 96 – Sedimentary, My Dear Watson

Mountains: you can be on them, near them, and maybe even under them if things aren’t going great for you. Here’s an ep about that!

Jake’s up first, with both a PSA about not believing every viral video you see AND a story about ghostly experiences in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Is The Presence of Mount Washington real, or are people just freaking themselves out on a windy peak? Nail down a pair of boots and find out!

Following an especially visceral round of Shadowlands Roulette, Wyatt describes the Sheppton Mine disaster, complete all the popes that were definitely there and the Louises who definitely weren’t. But who among us hasn’t wanted to make at least A FEW burgers out of our friends and coworkers, I mean REALLY.

What even are release dates, anyway? Nobody knows! Here’s a new episode of Superduperstitious.
