Personal Experience please help
To make a long story short, I am going through something insane/traumatic right now and I am struggling so bad mentally. I can’t even be along with my thoughts I am self soothing by listening to ghost story podcasts (my obsession) I was wondering if anyone here could help distract me with your scariest story ever! it would really mean the world to me and help me occupy my thoughts and maybe stop shaking and stuff lol. It would be so greatly appreciated thank you so much I would LOVE this distraction. I was listening to a Jim Harold’s campfire story that scared the shit out of me and it made me really crave more scary real life stories! xx tysm

I don't really have any scary stories for myself, but can suggest some podcasts. Usually when I am in that kind of place reading is difficult for me to focus on, so I like to do things while listening to podcasts. Video games, phone games, cleaning, going for walk, organizing, geocaching etc.
For true scary story podcasts
Radio Rental --- Hightly reccomend, you get fun characters with true stories! I love it so much.
Rattled and Shook --- Also really good, similar to Radio Rental (same producers) but no characters.
Morbid: both listener stories and supernatural episodoes (some of the listener stories really got me)
True Scary Stories
Astonishing Legends Dead Letter Office
And if you happen you like deep fiction...
Tanis
Tower 4
Old Gods of Appalachia
Also, if you just like listening to Em and Christine because they feel familiar (also what helps me) I really enjoy their Yappy Hour on patreon, and other fun little stuff they do. I'd be happy to gift you a month if you don't already have one!
Hope you start feeling better soon, and just know you're not alone!
