S4E58 – See them staring.

We all gravitate to horror stories at this time of year. It’s getting darker sooner, and there’s a chill in the air that can’t be ignored anymore. It feels right, huddling around a warm fire, having something hot to drink, and telling stories about what goes bump in the night. 

Okay, ready to get spooked?

S4E55 – I’ve never felt alone.

After a wild and crazy few months, with more curve balls than I had catcher’s mitts for, I’m happy to say that I’m back to bring you some terrifying tales that will keep you shivering even through these sweltering summer months. I haven’t been sitting idle, either; these stories are carefully collected to really remind you what scary can be…and don’t think I’ve forgotten that we’re rapidly approaching Halloween! It’s practically spooky season already, which means it’s the perfect time to settle in with a few scary stories.

I know I, for one, can’t wait to dive in.

S4E54 – Cabins and Curiosities.

Many things can be considered paranormal other than those involving spirits. The true meaning of paranormal is any event that can’t be scientifically proven or occurs beyond the scope of scientific understanding. From sounds of footsteps in long abandoned woods to seemingly benign childhood restaurant terrors, these stories fall beyond the scope of normal understanding and traditional hauntings.

S4:E52- After about a week of this, I stopped telling fortunes.

The cold winter nights are still stretching ahead of us, but I don’t want anyone to worry – I’ve got the perfect collection of stories ahead for you to curl up under a blanket with. (Just…maybe don’t focus too hard on that dark corner on the other side of the room.)

From demonic possessions to fortune-telling, to poltergeists, today’s episode has everything you could wish for that goes bump in the night, and make you wonder what, exactly, that sound was that you heard in the frozen darkness outside…

S3:E49 – The best way I can think to describe it is that it seemed to be a portal to hell.

As a general rule, when we think about being watched by supernatural entities, or spirits from beyond, it’s terrifying, right? Who wants to be watched, especially when you thought you were alone?

Well, maybe some of today’s stories will have you rethinking that. While nevertheless terrifying to find yourself not as alone as you might have thought…maybe fear is what we make it. And maybe being afraid isn’t what our watchers intended at all.

I feel like I always take a minute here to talk about how excited I am to tell you the stories that I’ve collected today…but I’m actually really excited to share the stories I’ve collected today.

They could happen to anyone…even you, as you’re listening to me talk about them.
