Haunting

iHeartPodcasts and Glass Podcastswww.iheart.com

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.

We follow Karoline as she questions everything she thought she knew about her partner of over 20 years. Listen here and subscribe to Betraya...
