Wilhelm Presents: Frightening Tales & Other Weird Stories

For more Frightening Tales visit me at frighteningtales.com

Welcome to Wilhelm Presents: Frightening Tales and Other Weird Stories—a carefully curated collection of unsettling fiction, paranormal encounters, and truly strange tales from writers around the world.

Each episode explores the uncanny: stories that linger, disturb, and quietly unsettle rather than simply shock. Some are frightening. Others are strange, folkloric, or deeply weird—but all are rooted in the paranormal and the unknown.

The current season releases new episodes every Friday from May 1 through October 30, bringing you a steady procession of eerie and curious tales to carry you through the darker half of the year.

Until then, dive into more than 130 episodes from past seasons—an extensive archive of paranormal fiction, available to listen to for free.
