Echoes Under Ashwood is a cinematic cosmic horror podcast about memory, friendship, and the quiet dread of returning home.
When a group of Gen-X friends reunite to settle a will, they discover their childhood in Ashwood, Ohio wasn’t what they remember. Disappearances. Missing years. A town that seems to shift when no one is looking.
Blending an ensemble cast, investigation, and slow-burn psychological horror, Echoes Under Ashwood explores nostalgia, trauma, and the things small towns bury.
Episodes begin April 27.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

Ashwood Archives - Old Fen Autopsy
Dr. Kessler is a no-nonsense coroner who's seen everything and surprised by nothing. Until now. Dr. Ellen Price is learning first hand how to observe weird without reacting to it while Deputy Hollis observes the handiwork.
From the Creator:
Echoes under Ashwood is more than a horror story...it is a deeply personal piece of autofiction. The slow-burn dread, the isolation of the rural Midwestern setting, and the unresolved history of the Gen X cast are directly informed by my own childhood trauma, processed and reframed through the lens of cosmic horror. This is an exploration of what it takes to look into the dark, face old ghosts, and survive the aftermath.
About Echoes under Ashwood: This is an audio-only cosmic horror podcast set in rural southeastern Ohio. Our story is a slow-burn analog mystery rooted in psychological dread, following a Gen X cast through an investigative narrative. While the story is completely improvised, the framework is heavily inspired by investigative tabletop RPG systems like Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green.

Episode 13 - I'd Like to Buy a Clue
In Episode 13, the crew finds themselves back at the Lake House...home away from home. They have a pile of clues, evidence, and a handful of what-the-hell to sift through. Dawn and Bex discuss the finer point of mushroom intoxication while Harry funbles through his memory for wizards? Or something? Anyway, Lance is preoccupied with the busines card from Evie Ross and finds her podcast to play for everyone.

Methulhu
Do you get the feeling you're being watched? All the time? By lots of eyes?
Do you find constant psychic intrusions bothersome and distracting?
If so, then Methulhu may be right for you.......
Do I really need to say this is satire? Ok. This is satire.
Jeez. Lighten up.
