Spotify Podcast About Urban Legends Drops for Halloween
It’s never officially spooky season until one gets their fair share of scary stories — and with Parcast and Spotify’s latest Halloween-inspired podcast Urban Legends, there’s no shortage of classic, frightening folktales to tune in to.
Every day this month a new episode of Urban Legends is released, retelling some of pop culture’s most iconic scary stories soundtracked by scary soundscapes and sound effects — perfect for a pre-Halloween hang with friends or fright-night-fanatic types who want to soak in as much of the season as they can.
Has Marie Antoinette’s guillotined death ever crossed your mind? Know the origin of Slender Man, the internet meme turned spooky phenomenon?
Each episode dives into the history behind quintessential Halloween tales and how true events morphed into modern-day myths and legends. Stories such as the Queen Mary I inspiring the tale of Bloody Mary, Marie Antoinette’s beheading, the Salem witch trials, and the New Forest coven are all a part of the Urban Legends seasonal podcast lineup. The episodes are divided into designated chapters depending on what fright one may want first — true crime, unsolved murders, medical mysteries, and female criminals are just a handful of the haunted tales the series has in store. For anyone who’s ready to embrace all things creepy for the remainder of October, the options are limitless.
The series will continue to post new episodes daily until the 31st — so there’s plenty of time left for a binge session. The episodes are a perfect segue into the season as Halloween looms ahead — and an eerie reminder that some of our most treasured spooky stories stemmed from true events.
