Welcome to Tales from the Janitor

Dive into the eerie landscapes of Oregon with Tales from the Janitor, a spine-chilling exploration of the Pacific Northwest’s most unsettling urban legends, forest-born folklore, and coastal hauntings.

In this episode, we meander through misty forests and haunted coastlines, where spectral whispers drift through fog-covered small towns, and ancient spirits pulse beneath the mossy ground and crumbling church steps.

Every story drips with atmosphere, creeping dread, and that dry humor only found in someone who's spent too many nights sweeping the dim hallways of a haunted schoolhouse. Whether you’re hungry for real ghost stories, local legends, or chilling encounters from the depths of the Oregon wilderness, Tales from the Janitor serves up Pacific Northwest horror with a wink and a warning.
