Welcome back horror fans, to Walking Dread! Today, we present a chilling tale that will leave you looking over your shoulder and questioning the thin veil that separates us from the abyss. Get ready for...The Oathbreaker!

This episode follows a group of college students, led by the arrogant Chris, who decide to hold a seance in a musty basement. Seeking forbidden knowledge and cheap thrills, they stumble upon something far more sinister than they could have imagined. Their incantations awaken a powerful entity, not a spirit to be questioned, but a Guardian bound to protect our world from an ancient and unspeakable horror.

Blinded by their thirst for knowledge, they unknowingly break the ancient pact that held the Guardian in place. The consequences? A terrifying glimpse into the void, a chilling realization of their grave error, and a desperate attempt to right their wrongs.

Chris, in an act of self-sacrifice, steps forward to rebind the Guardian. He becomes the new anchor, his very essence fueling the weakened barrier against the encroaching darkness. His friends, traumatized and haunted by their experience, are left to live with the knowledge of the horrifying truth and the ticking clock of the weakened pact.

The world, blissfully unaware, continues to sleep while a monstrous entity hungers just beyond our reality, waiting for the moment to break free and reclaim its dominion.

Will the Guardian's hold last? Or will the students' reckless actions condemn humanity to a fate worse than death? Tune in next time to find out, on Walking Dread!

Deep in the heart of a small town nestled near a haunted forest, hikers are going missing. The townsfolk are scared, whispering about bears and serial killers...but they're ignoring the age-old legends that lurk just beneath the surface.

One man isn't afraid – Old Tom, a seasoned hunter who knows the secrets of the woods. He’s seen the monstrous tracks, smelled the stench of decay… He knows the truth: a Wendigo walks among them.

This isn't just any monster, folks. This beast is fueled by the forest's rage, a physical manifestation of climate change’s wrath. As the woods wither and die, the Wendigo grows stronger, hungrier.

Old Tom knows the only way to stop this terrifying creature is to fight fire with fire. He journeys deep into the Wendigo’s lair, armed with the ancient knowledge passed down through generations. He's not going to kill this monster; he's going to make a deal with it, a bargain that will cost him everything.

In a chilling confrontation, Tom faces the Wendigo spirit to spirit, offering himself as a vessel for its monstrous hunger. The woods fall silent as the beast retreats into the shadows, but Tom knows the price of his sacrifice. **He returns to town, forever changed, a chilling reminder that the old ways are never truly forgotten. **

Welcome back to Walking Dread, your daily dose of terrifying tales! Buckle up, because tonight's story will leave you sleeping with the lights on. We're talking about a family who thought they were dealing with a harmless little ghost, but boy were they wrong!

This episode starts with a family experiencing strange events—scratches, toys moving on their own. They chalk it up to their daughter's imaginary friend, Sallie. Then, the little brother gets attacked, covered in bites and bruises, and claims "Sallie did it!".

Paranormal investigators are called in and their equipment goes haywire. Spooky messages on the Ouija board hint at a little girl trapped in the house. The family, feeling sympathy, tries to help Sallie find peace. Big. Mistake.

Things get REALLY scary. The house reeks of decay, the father gets thrown across the room by an unseen force, and Sarah wakes up with a ghostly hand over her mouth. The investigators drop a bombshell: This isn't a little girl! Sallie was just a mask hiding something ancient and evil that the family has now unleashed!

Banishments fail, attacks worsen, and terrifying, inhuman shapes crawl out of the shadows. The family is trapped in a living nightmare. Finally, the investigators find a hidden symbol, a beacon for dark spirits, that can only be contained, not destroyed!

The haunting lessens, but the family is forever trapped in a house that's become a gateway to evil. They tried to help a ghost child but ended up chained to something far worse. Sarah still sees shadows and hears a chilling laugh… the laughter of something truly evil.

So, dear listeners, if you think you've got a friendly ghost, think again! You might just be inviting something truly terrifying into your home.

Welcome back to Walking Dread, the daily podcast that sends shivers down your spine! Tonight's tale of terror takes us to a town haunted by a chilling curse. For generations, the town has lived in fear of May Eve, when a thick fog rolls in and claims a victim.

But three brave teenagers, Mia, Ben, and Jake, decide to fight back against the curse! They sneak into Maude's creepy cottage and discover her secret diary. The diary reveals the truth about the curse and how to break it. All they have to do is return a stolen bell to the old church, easy peasy right?

WRONG! While their actions stop the fog from taking a victim, they unwittingly unleash something far worse. Maude, in all her vengeful glory, rises from the grave! Turns out, she wasn't cursed, but sacrificing herself to protect the town from an even greater evil!

The town is now at the mercy of the vengeful witch, and it's a bloodbath. But this is only the beginning of their nightmare. Maude's resurrection was just the first step in a far more sinister plan!

Welcome back to Walking Dread, the daily podcast that explores the dark corners of reality and the unsettling truths that lurk there.

Hold onto your sanity, folks, because tonight's story is a real mind-bender. We're talking about Lara, a psychic whose talent was more of a burden. Instead of predicting winning lottery numbers, she was cursed with seeing glimpses of the future–and let me tell you, they weren't pretty.

Think fire, famine, and shadowy figures rising from a shattered Earth. Not exactly the stuff of sweet dreams, right? But this wasn't just some vague premonition. Lara stumbled upon a cursed crystal ball, an artifact so evil, it didn't just show these apocalyptic visions, it seemed to revel in them.

Driven by her gift, or maybe her doom, Lara became obsessed. She pushed away her clients and their petty problems, diving headfirst into this vortex of terrible futures. The ball became her world, her prison. She desperately searched for a way to change what she saw, to break free from this horrifying preordained path.

And then, in a moment of desperate inspiration, she found it. The answer wasn't some complex psychic ritual, but a simple act of destruction. She smashed the ball, the visions flickered and died, and Lara...well, Lara vanished. Poof! Gone! Leaving behind nothing but a few shimmering fragments of the cursed crystal.

But here's the twist: Lara's sacrifice wasn't in vain. She might be gone, but her psychic fingerprints are all over the timeline. Instead of one massive catastrophe, her actions splintered the future, scattering those terrible events across time.

So, the next time you hear about a natural disaster narrowly avoided, or some evil plot foiled at the last second...think of Lara. Lost in the timestream, fighting an endless battle against the very horrors she unleashed.

It's a sacrifice few would make, a struggle fought in the shadows of a broken future. That's Lara's story, and that's Walking Dread, your daily dose of existential terror!

Sleep tight, listeners...if you can.

Welcome back to Walking Dread, your daily dose of terror! Buckle up, listeners, because today we're taking you deep beneath the bustling streets of Paris, into the bone-chilling depths of the Catacombs.

Imagine: miles of tunnels shrouded in darkness, the silence broken only by the drip, drip, drip of water, and oh yeah, the bones of SIX MILLION SOULS lining the walls! It's enough to give anyone the creeps, right? But for our adventurous trio, Alex, Marie, and Jules, it's just another day exploring the hidden corners of the world... or so they thought.

Jules, our resident medium, starts picking up some seriously bad vibes - and it's not just the stale air. He senses the presence of restless spirits, the lost and forgotten yearning to be heard. As he chants, shadowy figures begin to appear, and Jules becomes a conduit for their voices - a chorus of the dead, whispering their tales of sorrow and longing. But this connection comes at a terrifying price.

The shadows consume Jules, twisting him into something... else. He becomes a puppet for the spirits, his eyes reflecting their eerie glow, his voice a discordant symphony of the dead.

Alex and Marie try to escape, but it's too late. Jules, now a spectral shepherd, leads them deeper into the darkness, away from the world of the living and into the realm of the dead. Some say they still wander those tunnels, lost in the labyrinth of bones, forever bound to the whispers of the forgotten.

So, are you brave enough to venture into the Catacombs? Just remember, if you hear a whisper in the darkness... it might not be the wind.
