594: The Midnight Game | When Ancient Shadows Come To Play (STRIPPED)
🕑 Added 2025-05-21 09:00:00 +0000 UTCThe Midnight Game begins with a drop of blood, a candle, and 22 knocks at the stroke of midnight. What follows is an ancient pagan ritual reborn in the digital age – a deadly game of hide and seek with a shadow entity known as the Midnight Man.
From its origins as punishment to its spread across college campuses worldwide, this ritual has left countless participants traumatized by what they've encountered. The rules are simple: maintain your candlelight and avoid the Midnight Man until 3:33 AM.
Victims report seeing the same entity – a tall, thin shadow with unnatural movements and conscious intent. The Midnight Man isn't alone, however, but part of a global phenomenon of shadow beings that appear consistently across cultures throughout human history.
Scientists and paranormal researchers alike have documented strange occurrences during ritual attempts, from sudden temperature drops to inexplicable equipment failures. The Midnight Man waits in the darkness between worlds, just a ritual away.

One thing I’ve noticed with their ads and I don’t want something to change now but regardless of platform you’re always able —-the way he does it —-to fast forward through them a lot of creators you have no choice but to watch that damn ad so I know it doesn’t help your situation, but Overall they’re really good with ads over all if you really don’t like them.

That’s just in that podcast if you go down to the video version and just listen to that same audio no ads.
