State of Fearredcircle.com

Every Friday, State of Fear goes from state to state to uncover unusual or horrifying stories that tend to fly under the radar of other podcasts. Everything from cryptids to ghosts to demons to serial killers, if it's underreported we cover it.

Is your morbid curiosity piqued? Follow us anywhere you get your podcasts to hear all the lesser-known, but just as frightening, tales of murderers, demonic possessions, and silver-suited chicken eaters you never knew existed.
