Ghost stories and horror podcaster
Scary films, old local stories and honest nights in haunted buildings
I’m Corbin. I make a weekly podcast about scary films, old stories from the archive and honest nights in reputedly haunted buildings, write each one up here, and sell printable planners, log sheets and two video courses.

A night in the Methodist chapel
Seven hours in a small stone chapel, one friend, one flask. A quiet night: the log shows 12 minutes I could not explain.

Review: a found-footage film that earns its jump scares
Content note: five jump scares, shaky camera, no gore, a very tense last ten minutes. Best watched with the lights on low.
Oct 22, 2026 · 47 min
A night in the clapboard house
Six hours in an empty house on the edge of town, beside the stairs and the old stove. Most of the noise had a plug.

The jail bell that rang by itself, as the 1902 paper told it
A short story from the local archive, with what the paper printed, what it left out and what we found when we went to see the bell.

A night in the old jail
Eight hours in the cells and corridors. The cold, the pipes and one door that would not stay shut.

Review: a folk horror film set in a hay field
Content note: slow dread, one disturbing scene in a barn, very little blood. It is more unsettling than frightening.
Where the night goes
Of all the minutes in an old building after dark, very few were anything at all. Here are four nights, line by line, with the ones I can’t explain at the bottom.

About
About me
I grew up in Natchez, Mississippi, and I have loved horror since I was nine and watched something I was far too young for under a blanket. I am a skeptic who is fond of the subject. I like the dread, the old stories and the way a building feels when it is empty, and I like finding out what the noise really was.
Every few weeks a friend and I spend a night in a building with a reputation: a cotton mill, an old jail, an empty clapboard house, a chapel. We ask permission first, we write down every minute, and most of the time nothing happens. I think that is worth showing. The logs are honest, and the page at the top of this site is drawn from them.
In between episodes I review scary films with a short content note on each, so you know about jump scares, gore and dread before you press play, and I read old local newspapers for ghost stories and odd tales. I do not name real victims, and I keep it free of gore. What I sell are the sheets, cards and planners I use myself, and two courses for doing it carefully.
