Take Out
Some deliveries nourish you. Others claim you. In this creeping suburban horror story, a couple’s new home becomes the drop‑off point for groceries they never ordered, tailored with unnerving precision to their cravings, their memories, and eventually, their future. As the deliveries escalate, the couple spirals into a debate - stalker or ghost? Surveillance or haunting? But the truth feels like something in between: a presence that knows their habits, their hunger, their future. A presence tending to them like livestock. For listeners who love suburban dread, uncanny domesticity, and stories where generosity becomes possession, this episode delivers a slow, suffocating horror that lingers long after the last delivery. Not for kids - listener discretion advised. ------------ Beth's Spooky Story Time is your new favourite horror podcast, best enjoyed alone with headphones.

The Guest in the Margin
A quiet cottage on the edge of town should be a sanctuary, but in this slow‑creeping, water‑logged haunting, the guest room becomes a place where something unseen lies down to sleep. She lives alone in a spacious old cottage, the kind with heavy oak furniture and a guest room no one ever uses. But one morning, the perfectly made bed bears a deep, unmistakable indentation. She smooths it out. Locks the door. Vacuums the carpet into flawless lines. Tapes the frame to catch any movement. The next morning, the tape is intact. The carpet is pristine. But the bed is occupied again. And this time, wet footprints - small, bare, and impossibly crisp - lead from the mattress to the closet door. For listeners who love water hauntings, domestic dread, and stories where the past seeps through the floorboards, this episode delivers a chilling, atmospheric ghost story that lingers like damp air long after the final line.

Eleventh Hour
Deadlines are supposed to be stressful, not supernatural. In this suffocating, time‑bending spooky story, a freelance designer pulling an all‑nighter discovers that the minute before midnight can stretch into something far more sinister. Ten years ago, desperate to impress a global client, she works through the night in a drafty Portland apartment. As she grinds through the project, the digital clock on her desk freezes at 11:59 PM. Minutes pass. Hours pass. Entire sections of work are completed... but the clock never moves. Then the world goes silent. Doctors blame carbon monoxide poisoning. She tries to believe them. But every night since, when the clock hits 11:58 PM, she finds herself staring at the doorway, waiting to see if the world will freeze again… For listeners who love liminal time horror, cosmic bureaucracy, and stories where the mundane becomes metaphysical, this episode delivers a chilling reminder that some deadlines aren’t just professional — they’re existential.

The Basement Tap
Silence isn’t empty - it’s a signal waiting to be decoded. In this deeply unsettling story of isolation, intrusion, and Morse‑code dread, a tenant in an old Victorian duplex discovers that the tapping in the pipes isn’t plumbing… it’s communication. At first, the sounds are just the usual quirks of an ageing house. But soon the taps become rhythmic, deliberate, and mobile, following them from room to room. For listeners who love domestic horror, voyeuristic dread, and haunted houses, this episode delivers a slow, claustrophobic terror that lingers long after the taps stop.

Computer Says Go
Numbers don’t lie... until they start predicting your disappearance. In this unnerving spooky story, an accountant who has built her life around the clean logic of spreadsheets discovers a hidden tab buried inside a document. A tab that shouldn’t exist. A tab that records the exact dates her colleagues ceased to exist — whether they resigned, vanished, or died. Every name has a date. Except hers. Now she finds herself checking her pulse, avoiding long‑term plans, and staring at her own reflection for signs of a “rounding error” in her life. For listeners who love corporate horror, digital hauntings, existential dread, and stories where the machine knows more than you do, this episode delivers a cold, procedural terror that lingers long after the spreadsheet closes.
