About this listen

 Step into the shadows with Obscurata, the latest podcast from The Whispering Woods Studio.


Here, we unravel the darkest corners of the human experience—exploring unsolved mysteries, true crime, paranormal encounters, and tales of the occult. Obscurata dares you to question the boundaries of what we believe to be true… and what we fear may be lurking in the dark.


Each episode delves into mysterious events, blending atmospheric storytelling with a touch of the unexplainable. Whether it’s an intriguing crime, a ghostly legend, or strange phenomenon, we uncover the stories that refuse to be silenced—because some have no ending.
