After moving to southeastern California, paranormal investigator [[TheDanza Jeremy Enfinger]] impulsively decides to make a bid on an abandoned storage unit. Being as he was the only one bidding on it, he was given the the storage unit's contents: a series of papers belonging to a private detective identified only as 'Ron', documenting all manner of strange, disturbing, and supernatural phenomena over the course of decades. Curious, Jeremy decided to begin documenting the papers in the form of a podcast as he tries to get to the bottom of the mystery behind the papers, and finds himself in for more than he bargained for when he stumbles into a massive conspiracy.

** The Grinner is ''not'' human, and Benjamin Scanlon is able to tell he's bad news the second they meet because of how ''off'' he is. It's hinted he might be some kind of vampire or one of the MenInBlack. "The Divine Acolytes" reveals [[spoiler:he WasOnceAMan named Malcolm Foy, until ''something'' (implied to be DemonicPossession) happened to him.]]

* LukeIAmYourFather / ConnectedAllAlong: [[spoiler:Ron reveals in season 4 that he is the long-lost biological father of Ben and Brianne Scanlon, having been forced to give them up to Project Hydra in their infancy after he was manipulated into a felony conviction and into working for Hydra. Ron states that Ben died never knowing, and Brianne only found out from Ron at Ben's funeral.]]

* LuringInPrey: "Baby Cries" features a creature that resembles a bald pale young woman that the narrator remarks is only "clearly not human". It can mimic a baby's crying and uses this to lure its unsuspecting prey into the woods near its lair, each time the cries seeming ever so close until it's close enough for them to attack.

* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:The Grinner]], after the attempted banishment ritual at the end of Season 2. [[spoiler: [[TheBusCameBack His host Malcolm Foye returns]] as of Season 4, having been arrested and imprisoned sometime during Season 3, smugly implying that the Grinner will likely returning as well.]]

This trope /can not/ apply to something that is horror from the get go.


* CerebusSyndrome: While Season 1 isn't light and fluffy, the narrators generally tended to get out alive and at the very least physically unharmed. Season 2 has a much darker tone, with an increased emphasis on how dangerous Jeremy's line of work is and a lot of DownerEnding{{s}}. Season 3 is even darker, with much more offbeat and unsettling stories and generally having a more melancholic tone.

** Season 2 as a whole ends on one. [[spoiler:Jeremy is left emotionally shattered by the climactic confrontation with the Grinner, Malcolm Foy is able to escape (albeit with a binding symbol carved into his chest), the Grinner isn't banished to Hell and is just lying in wait for some other poor schmuck to summon it, Benjamin Scanlon and Preston Nicklesworth are dead, and Ron is revealed to be an agent of Project Hydra.]]

Added DiffLines:

** Similarly, the Man in the Khaki Suit's name is never properly revealed. He is alternately referred to as the Dream Killer or [[spoiler:Project Hydra's third test subject]], but no one knows his name, despite [[spoiler:Brienne having been friends with him as a child.]]


Added DiffLines:

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:Both Jacob Stone the werewolf and Preston Nicholson the psychic pointedly vanish during the season 2 finale, and receive little to no mention in season 3. Jacob has a HealingFactor, so he likely survived his encounter with the Grinner. Preston, however, was last seen having been [[TeleFrag telefragged]] into the church's floor and being ''possessed'' by the Grinner, so anything could have happened to him after disappearing.]]

* ArcVillain: The Grinner/Malcolm Foy is the primary antagonist of seasons 1-2.
** The Dream Killer/The Man In The Khaki Suit takes center stage of season 3's conflict, after [[spoiler:the Grinner is PutOnABus.]]
