    Amazing
    One critique may you could be a little less repetitive? You tend to repeat short phrases a bit. Otherwise an incredible creepy podcast!

    One of a kind! 💙
    This is one of my favorite horror podcasts on the platform. Everything from Carmen’s beautiful and Erie voice, the sound effects, the stories themselves, everything about Freaky Folklore is just amazing. Definitely worth listening to! 10/10

    Love this!
    I look forward to new episodes and I’m still catching up on all the old ones as well. Carmen’s voice is perfect for the content and the way the stories are intertwined with the facts and history of each subject. Can’t get enough!

    Amazing
    This show is beyond amazing. I love mytholgy so much and am in the field of psychology and my brain is so happy with this show. Carmen is everything you could ever want in a Podcast host, she's just fantastic! Each episode is so exciting. What a fun and freaky way to explore different aspects of fear across cultures!
  • Omar_Decartel
    Unnecessary soundtrack
    I tried listening for 4 months and I hate the soundtracks used on each episode. They are loud ,distracting and nonsensical. Good luck I’m unfollowing

  • FreakyPod with Carmen
    Freaky folklore- host
    Loved the way the theme of the cast was told. Kept me wondering what was gonna happen next, mingled with lore, personable like story. With nibbles of the fear and doubt in the hints of what made it spookier, Carmen Carrier sealed the lore behind a rustic buckle.
  • Jazzermass5
    Good show!
    Good show. Jolly Good Show!
  • NJ-GandyDancer
    Excellent!!
    I have been listening to Freaky Folklore for the better part of two years now. Although all the episodes are fantastic, The Black Annis episode was the best I’ve heard! I like to tell stories by the fire pit in the colder autumn nights… I’m going to remember this one!
  • dark ivyxxxx

  • StillAwake45674
    Disruptive background music
    Can we tone down the background music? Grief, I couldn’t hear and pay attention with all that rackety music in the background. Had to close it out and just take the miss on the Asmodeus episode.
  • Inkicrown
    Horrificly Awesome!!!
    I love anything creepy! And these just fuels it! The lady is chill. I also enjoy how it’s structured like a actual book. This can help me write my own books! But, I can nearly finish one. So long. But, now it’s summer I have all the time for it. Except back to school. Darn it procrastinating, FREE ME!

    Folklore
    Love this podcast. Very informative about the creatures and gives good background. I hope it has more monster vs monster battles.
  • Lubby502
    Meh…mispronouncing words constantly
    I’m listening to the Stacy Arras disappearance in Yosemite episode and the narrator says, “Cases with SIMULAR circumstances” it’s SIMILAR not SIMULAR. She has a very heavy Eastern Kentucky mountains accent where she pronounces words such as LIKE and BIKE with a long A sound. So Bike sounds like BAAACK and Like sounds like LAAACK. I’m not crazy about that accent and the mispronunciation of words. Mispronouncing words is just a lack of education, not an accent problem. It’s like people that call a chimney, a CHIMLEY. Very annoying. Other than that, this podcast literally puts me to sleep. Her low whispery voice is just boring.
  • 👻cat
    Nice
    I like how it gives you a history about the monster.👻👻👻
  • Kimera29
    I’m completely hooked to this podcast!
    I have always been fascinated by myths and folklore. This podcast has not only introduced me to creatures I’ve never heard of before but has also shone light on the histories behind ones I thought I knew quite a bit about. The addition of the stories adds to the fun. Hearing a tale about each monster helps bring each of them to life. I hope we can begin to explore more exotic monsters of myths from less know lore from around the world! ❤️❤️❤️
  • Darkside1939

  • MythDragon451
    I love this! 😍
    This podcast is amazing! I love learning about creatures of myth and folklore, and this podcast is perfect for doing just that. I really liked the Kodama episode. Japanese creatures are so cool!

  • Slivjack
    Wonderful (except the commercials)
    Huge fan of Carman’s work here. The more I listen to her, the more I like her. However the same plague than has infestated every YouTube video & other podcast rears its head here. Intrusive commercials. I listen to podcasts to relax at bedtime. Wind down at the end of the day to escape exactly this sort of mind numbing bludgeoning over the head during every waking moment of the day. If I have to hear one more putrid Draft Kings spot I’ll lose my mind. So I’m chilling to Carman beginning to drift off then BOOM! The kiss of death. I realize everybody unfortunately has to make some dough by adding this blather. But it is at the point of insanity. At least if they were all at the start of the episode, you could stomach it. But nope. In the middle too. AND they are always so LOUD & practically blown your ears off. I like podcasts where the HOST just does the commercials. Much less jarring. Just continue in your pleasant voice “this episode is sponsored by…”. That I can deal with. So yeah, a BIG FIVE STAR show here Carman. You are wonderful. Docked a star by horrid intrusive commercials. 😭

    RIP
    You should do one about love potion number nine.also you should do scp 1471
  • Smooth Oar
    Wow
    One day I randomly searched up podcasts about spooky, supernatural, and bestiary tales. On that day I found something special, for real! Carman has a 50s/60s Diner conversation tone about her and it makes these podcasts so easy to listen to. I love that she goes into lore and research in the middle of the story she’s weaving . A format that’s great for getting through work and also setting a spooky soothing mood when decompressing from stuff . Much love

    Great quality and interesting, I enjoy listening to this too and from the way to work. I think you should do more of the modern folklore (you could do Smile Dog or Jeff the Killer)

    Could use some polish
    I don’t to be too harsh. Making a podcast is quite the undertaking. The premise is one that would get my interest: tell an original short story about the monsters featured, and then give some info and background about the topic. That’s something I’d like to listen to. The problem I struggle with is the presentation. The narration in the episodes I’ve listened to can be monotone, which makes it hard to listen to. There are also several times I’ve heard words mispronounced. And I won’t want to be harsh about it because I don’t know the circumstances behind either of those things. Unfortunately those two factors are partly why I’m not a regular listener. Which is a shame since I believe this podcast has a lot of stuff I actually like. I would recommend looking into a voice over coach or teacher to help identify the type of line delivery you want to go with for your podcast. Telling a scary story doesn’t require monotone reads, and a coach is the most qualified individual to help with that. Best of luck in your future endeavors. Maybe I’ll tune in again sometime in the near future.

    It is a real test that happened and it’s so sad what Russia does to their own people
  • SaraJean0612
    One of my favorites
    I listen to over 20 podcasts and this is in my top 5. Love how how the story incorporates the legend/myth.
  • Ttroika
    Love This Podcast
    I am very happy I found this podcast. I fond the stories to be very intriguing and the way Ms. Carrion interjects facts about her research and related stories is a nice addition. Ms. Carrion’s voice is very soothing and melodic. Her reading style is top notch. Once again I am very happy I found Eeriecast.
