"Scare-filled oral storytelling at its absolute finest. Host Glynn Washington is one of the best storytellers in podcasting, which is why the regular Snap Judgment podcast is also well worth a listen."

"Immediately I was transported into another world, listening to episode after episode until there were none left. You know you’ve come across something great when you can get lost inside inside your own mind as you listen to the words while time seems to slip away. I also recommend this show because it’s well produced. The host is amazing,…"

"Episodes are backed by original, creepy scores for musically-driven storytelling its sister podcast Snap Judgment has become known for. Spooked shows that no matter where you come from or what you believe, sometimes we’ve all been afraid to turn out the lights."

"You might be lulled into a relaxed state of mind when the beat of its opening song comes on, but trust me – you will be wide-eyed and on high alert when listening to some of the frightening stories told...While not every story is terrifying, every story is at the very least interesting, and I finished each one, wanting to see how each story turned out."

"You can almost picture Washington sitting around a campfire with a flashlight positioned below his chin as he tells ghost stories about his death pact with his brother and letting us hear from one woman’s visit by a recently-deceased spirit, another person’s encounter with an eerie voice that demanded action and a tale about a crowd possessed by animal spirits. Pass the s'mores, please!"

"Within this episode, there are 2 stories, but the one I'm submitting my review for is the story, "Hot Water." This was actually the first episode of Spooked I listened to that got me hooked on the Podcast. The story starts off with a group of friends taking a vacation in the Rio Grande Gorge. The girls are in the hot spring just hanging out when they encounter a strange man with a dog. With the sun setting, no one else around, and only 1 trail leading out to the parking lot where their car was parked, their only option is to run. "
