Good Night, Alex

It was the best performance Blackwood University had ever seen. She never came out for her curtain call. The lead actress poured her grief into the role — real tears, real loss, a character she wore like a second skin long after rehearsals ended. On closing night, the house was full. The cast filed out for their final bow. She was gone. Now, in footage from every play performed on that stage, some...

Someone keeps leaving an old gaming console in the dorm room closets at Blackwood University. It has no logo, no name, and only one game loaded on it: Get Out of the Forest. No map. No enemies. No sound. Just a small pixelated character walking through endless dark trees. Students who find it always start playing. They always get obsessed. And then they're gone — and the console turns up in someon...

He spent weeks having coffee with her, studying with her, watching her laugh at his jokes. He had no idea she was already dead. Before cell phones, a person could simply disappear — and the silence that followed was louder than anything we know today. Blake Scott vanished from Blackwood University under circumstances the newspaper called "ritualistic." But no one told him that. And she kept showin...

To join the most powerful sorority at Blackwood University, there is one final thing every pledge must do. She must lie in a casket. In an open grave. Alone. It is a tradition kept in memory of a girl who was murdered and left in the dark to die. But the girl who drowned during initiation didn't stay gone — and she doesn't want anyone else joining the sorority either. Ally Clifford tells the story...

It always comes back. A full-length mirror with a dark carved frame has been returning to the same antique store in Ravenbrooke for years. No one who owns it can explain why they gave it up. Every morning, without fail, a single kiss pressed into the glass in red lipstick — at exactly face height. Ally Clifford tells the story of Mary Anne's mirror, and the woman inside it who has been waiting a v...

There is only one road in and out of Ravenbrooke. And the more times you drive it, the more you start to see. Old brick. Cast iron lamp posts burning in the middle of the day. And beneath the flickering ones — shapes. Still. Watching. Waiting for someone to slow down. Ally Clifford takes over her brother's podcast with a story about the only way in or out of their town, and the women who never mad...

Before Alex went silent, he had one question: why would anyone build a town inside an ancient forest — and then make it bigger? In his very first episode, Alex Clifford tells the story of Ravenbrooke, the small town swallowed by a forest that doesn't have a name. Nine women vanished here centuries ago. The town stopped cutting trees. And then someone built a university on top of everything they we...
