About This Podcast

Step into the firelight… and listen closely.

From chilling encounters in the dead of night to whispers of government cover-ups, this show dives headfirst into the shadows. Gather around the campfire — or tune in wherever you dare — for Scary but True tales of the supernatural, UFO sightings, Bigfoot encounters, dark conspiracies, and the kind of lingering creepiness that stays with you long after the story ends.

Featuring listener-submitted experiences alongside deep research into history’s most infamous urban legends and unexplained events, each episode blurs the line between myth and reality.

Hosted by acclaimed audiobook narrator and Las Vegas entertainer Matthew S Newbold, every story is carefully revised and masterfully told to pull you into the unknown — where the question isn’t just “Is it real?”

It’s “What if it is?”
