Scare Tactics
Scare Tactics is a podcast that blends scary stories with social deception. Each week, three comedians try to convince our host Mickey May that their paranormal encounter really happened. The twist? Only one of them has an honest haunt and the other two are making up stories on the spot. Can we figure out the truth by the end of the episode?

Did that really happen or was it all just a dream? We’re asking those questions and more this week. Get in ghouls, we’ve got night terrors that feel just a bit too real, paranormal proposals, and a new reason to be scared of late night showers.
