The podcast episodes featured explore the topic of true stories, presenting chilling, real-life accounts of home invasions, murders, mysterious encounters, and more.

These episodes often emphasize the authentic nature of the stories, with hosts and narrators explicitly framing the content as factual rather than fictional, adding to the sense of unease and dread. Examples include Vol. 226: Disturbing True Stories from Reddit, Vol. 211: 3 Disturbing TRUE Stories from Reddit, and Introducing: Very Special Episodes.

The topic of true stories also extends to podcasts that may be inspired by or based on real events, such as Someone is Killing the Wolfhounds, which is described as being 'based on a true story.'
