Shelby is like spooky Ms. Rachel and I’m totally obsessed

I love SYTS and have been listening for four years now! It’s the reason I got into horror and it also inspired me to write stories of my own. I don’t listen to it to help me sleep because I love listening to the stories and it probably wouldn’t put me to sleep considering the ads in between stories. Shelby does an incredible job with the voice acting and sound effects. It’s such a treat when she shares her original stories. Highly recommend for horror fans and writers!

Shelby you are a true star! Incredible story telling every detail and nuance is never overlooked by you! I LOVE this podcast so much, every episode is top notch! Above and beyond anything else I recommend this podcast to all lovers of the macabre and scary!! The talent of the host is unmatched! Thank you from a true horror aficionado and keep slaying girl 😉 (pun intended) -Chelsea Cortese

I am particularly fond of the episodes that you father sleep too and the sound effects with the house voice talking smoothly in the background. Excellent stories. I would like episodes a little more to fall asleep to it without the bit of chatter in the beginning and episodes end.

Love the stories- hate when I can’t get to my phone to turn it off before the rambling 😂

The look on my therapist’s face when I told her I like to fall asleep to a horror podcast was incredible. She started taking notes immediately, haha. But yes the podcast is good.

🙄🙄

I thought I was crazy for listening to scary/creepy podcasts to fall asleep but clearly I’m not alone! Shelbys voice and the sound effects in the background are so soothing. Thank you for making this podcast I love it

Just started listening to this podcast so I’m only 26 episodes in. Just listened to Quietus episode 25 and it actually brought tears to my eyes. One very talented lady!!! Her voice is relaxing and she is an amazing story teller. Would be a great voice on audio books!!

The stories are good and the story telling is good. If it was left at that, I’d rate it a 5. Problem comes in at the end of each episode when she decides to ramble on for way too long about her life. I listen for the stories and could not care less about this person. Please create another podcast of your ramblings. They have nothing to do with scary story telling.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for several months now, and I’m just blown away that one person can create an incredible story with all the different characters and voices! Raw Talent Indeed! I love her to pieces, and I look forward to all her new stuff that’s yet to come!

Just found you today and I’m loving your voice and narration. Glad you have episodes I can binge on🔥👍

Love this podcast. Never been into podcast and wanted something that would satisfy my horror craves. Luckily came across this and fell in love. My very first podcast and been listening for years. Always enjoying myself when I go back and listen to the other episodes. Would definitely recommend and would rate it a solid 10 stars if I could

Great stories and great voice

Shelby does an exceptional job creating the feeling of perfect balance between tension and calm.

Great voice, great storytelling and well produced. Give it a listen

Her voice is hauntingly beautiful. Superb voice work. I don’t use this podcast to fall asleep, though, because it creeps me out too much.

I love your podcast

I absolutely love this podcast! I love Gothic horror, as well as thriller and suspense, but don’t handle anything with gore very well, so I appreciate that I can hop around and find episodes suited to me based on the descriptions and trigger warnings. I’ve also become a little obsessed with the “guided nightmares” - they actually give me nostalgia for the second-person “choose your own adventure” stories I remember reading as a kid in the 80s and 90s! (However, in this case, you can’t really choose what happens, in the most delightful scary way.)

Voice is soothing and stories can be creepy. Definitely a good listen if you like falling asleep to something

My last review was not posted because I mentioned the person cannot leave politics out of scary stories. The title says it is scary stories to sleep but the advertising segments are in the stupidest placements for someone who just wants to listen to good stories at night. Ads don’t bother me but the placement indicates this person has no clue. The stories are mostly good except when storyteller ads in her own woke ideology. Why cannot people just tell stories instead of getting political? She has a nice voice. Your agenda should be to tell a good story. Let’s see if this one gets posted.

Here from Creepy! I’m so glad Jon put you on. Your voice is awesome and I am thoroughly enjoying your content.

You will not be disappointed!

Been binge listening. Her voice is incredibly soothing. Content is phenomenal.

Here from Creepy! I love this show new fav!

This may be one of the best horror podcasts I’ve ever listened to. The rendition of “Oh Captain, My Captain” at the end of the episode titled “Uncanny Package” gave me chills and all of the Dark Reddit stories are amazing!!

As someone who loves podcasts and loves horror, Shelby and this show have been on my radar for literally years. But, funnily enough, it was hearing Shelby talk about Cronos on Knight Light that finally got me to check out Scare You To Sleep. Y’all. I’m blown away. Shelby, your talent is immense. The writing. The narrating. The voice acting. The last two weekends, I’ve been binging the podcast and I’m absolutely hooked. I’m so glad there is so much for me to catch up on.

Amazing stories I listen to them at night. My cat keeps the ghosts away. How do I support?

Sigh 😔

Just started listening over the past few days after Jon and Creepy put you on. Really great Job, just listened to “The Smile” and that was really well done!

Very good show love the stories and I also think that it is better than creepy currently, although old creepy a few years ago was better. Either way, great show and it always keeps me entertained. (Also the guy who complained about the add is not even worth looking at)

I miss the old style of episodes. Getting too gruesome to listen to.

Note to Listeners: Shelby Scott gives the absolute best reading of The Yellow Wallpaper. I’ve listened to many others and there is no comparison. The story is an all time classic and one of the best short stories ever written. Ms. Scott nails it perfectly. Pace. Tone. Voice. A complete mastery of the story and of the language. Well done!! If you haven’t listened to it yet, do it now!!

I am so stoked to find this in the past week … but please put ads at the beginning because I seriously listen to it to fall asleep… over and over again. Such great sleep until the ad in the middle, ugh, wakes me back up. That said I love it and it should be a 4.9.

Love having this podcast back on my main hub!

One of my favorite podcasts, also Shelby is Mother

I really did enjoy this podcast every evening as I fell asleep, but the virtue signaling about the sham BLM totally turned me off. Maybe just stick to creepy stories and leave your personal opinions out of it.

Was looking for a show to go to bed to, found Scare you to sleep and have been binging every episode. This show is a genius idea and Shelby executes it to perfection! Love it!

I love Shelby. I love this podcast. I get ads are necessary. The one in the middle though… It really ruins the vibe. Still worth listening to I just don’t use it to fall asleep anymore 😢

Might be good, but the ad right in the middle woke me back up.

I’m so glad I found your show, I was looking for guided meditations for sleep and found your “guided nightmares”. As a fan of horror, your guided nightmare meditations are super unique and an amazing concept. I wish more horror fans were in the know about the guided nightmares in particular, they would LOVE them. Please make more and longer ones, they are AMAZING!!

I am panicking because I’m almost done with the 263 episodes!! What am I going to do with my life? Lol Shelby is amazing. I recommend this podcast 100%!

Let’s stick to stories. If I want current affairs I will follow those podcasts. And our forefathers wouldn’t say “yo”.

Shelby has the voice of an angel. Her voice will captivate you, and makes you literally feel like you are in the story, seeing everything she is saying. A Woman’s Ghost Story is my favorite thus far. She is just absolutely memorizing. Keep up the solid and beautiful work my friend.

This WAS a great show. It COULD be 5 stars. UNFORTUNATELY I have to give it 1 because of the timing of commercials AND how political the host is making things. You’re right in the middle of a scary story and BAM…commercial. Totally ruins the vibes. If they were at the beginning or end of a each story, I can deal with that. Not the freaking middle of a story smh! Not to mention she calls her fan racists and pushes her politics on a freaking scary story show! Why do politics have to be in everything?

Thee concept is great considering how many folks fall asleep listening to True Crime and scary stories. I wish the ads weren’t so abrupt, they can actually wake you up because they’re also louder than the podcast. The stories aren’t particularly scary but the host has a soothing voice.

im absolutely obsessed!!!!

My friend just told me about this podcast and I’m obsessed! Love your voice and all these scary short stories! So happy there are so many episodes

How can you be “lulled to sleep” by nightmares? When I heard the advertisement, I thought it was a joke because only a serial killer would enjoy falling asleep to horror, nightmares, and violence. I checked out the podcast and yep I was right. If horror is “relaxing” and “puts you to sleep”, you are very disturbed. TBH I didn’t think there were enough people like that to make a podcast. W-t-f man, let’s just make violence so benign that we stop caring about the value of life….Horror is good for excitement and entertainment not a lullaby. Future serial killers will enjoy this podcast tho.

The narrator as a sweet, whimsical voice, telling stories of terror, which makes it even more creepy! Keep up the great work! Love this podcast!
