Do you have a dark curiosity?

Heart Starts Pounding, Horrors, Haunting, and Mysteries is a weekly podcast hosted by me, Kaelin Moore.

Each week, I'll take you on a dark journey through terrifying true urban legends,

bizarre true crime cases, chilling tales of backwoods horror, and more.

So if you're looking to join a passionate community of the Darkly Curious,

check out Heart Starts Pounding on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. And remember, stay curious. A tall man stood perfectly still at the foot of my bed, facing me, his shadow stretching long across the floor.

Nothing where a head should be.
