What a good one needs

a story with genuine dread in it — either a firsthand experience (theirs, or one they witnessed) or a real documented case they know — plus the turning point where it stops being normal, and where it actually landed. For firsthand stories their detail is the credibility; for real cases, accuracy against the documented record is the credibility, and research handles that.

The interview

  1. 01

    What's the story, and is it yours, or a real case you're telling?

    Tell it like you'd tell it at 1am. Say whether it happened to you or it's a documented case. If it's a real case, it needs to be one where proceedings have finished, nothing that's still at trial or under active investigation.

  2. 02

    The exact moment it stopped being normal?

    The detail that turned it, what was seen, heard, found, or realised. As exact as you can.

  3. 03

    How did it end, and what still doesn't sit right?

    Where it actually landed. Unsolved and unexplained are real endings, say what's still open.

  4. 04 · optional

    Anything else you want to add? More detail, another angle, anything you didn't get to?

    Optional: Fill, if you've got more to say. Skip, if you don't.

How it works

  1. 01Answer the questions above, in the app, about the real thing.
  2. 02Postbarrel asks the follow-ups a sharp interviewer would, if an answer is thin.
  3. 03Read back a script built only from what you said, with delivery notes — then film it from the built-in teleprompter, or record right there.

Every line traces back to your answers. Postbarrel never invents an opinion, a claim or a story on your behalf, and it never makes the video — you show up and say it.
