Dayna Pereira is the sarcastic solo host of Loreplay, where she serves up paranormal stories filled with creepy folklore, haunted history, and weird legends, all with a playful twist. Equal parts storyteller and skeptic, she masterfully blends dark humor, spooky vibes, and a love for the bizarre into binge-worthy episodes that delight fans of ghost stories, urban legends, and true crime with a paranormal twist.

Welcome to Loreplay—the podcast where history gets weird, folklore gets feral, and your host, Dayna Pereira, continues to wonder how the hell humanity survived thus far.
Each episode dives headfirst into eerie legends, forgotten history, true crime-adjacent chaos, and the kind of folklore that feels like it was absolutely written by someone used fear as a crutch (and a control mechanism). Think witches, monsters, cursed places, moral panics, haunted villages, and the deeply unhinged decisions of people who definitely did not have access to antibiotics.
Told in a fast-paced, story-first narrative, Loreplay blends well-researched history with dark humor, modern commentary, and the occasional existential spiral. These are the stories you half-remember being warned about as a kid—now unpacked with adult skepticism, millennial sarcasm, and just enough reverence to admit that maybe… something weird really was going on.
If you love folklore that’s creepy but clever, history that’s messy and human, and storytelling that feels like a campfire tale told by your funniest friend with a microphone—welcome home.
Grab a drink. Lock your doors (emotionally).
This is Loreplay.
