Welcome to Heart Starts Pounding, a podcast of horrors, hauntings and mysteries. I'm your host,

Kaelin Moore. This is a community for those with a dark curiosity. Those of us that like to

indulge in things that are spooky and sometimes a little macabre. This week in particular,

the week of Halloween tends to be a time where I indulge the most. I spend a lot of time thinking

about why things are scary and why some things are terrifying to us, but we choose to learn about

them anyways. People sometimes ask me how I can sleep at night with all of the dark stuff that I

consume, and to that I would say, I think you actually might be surprised at what makes me squirm.

I can pretty easily read about the illegal selling of human remains at Harvard. I'll walk into a

building that people say is haunted. The other day I even let two Scientologists pitch me on classes

for 20 minutes because while those things all do freak me out, my curiosity about them trumps my fear

and I have to learn more. But on the flip side, I couldn't watch the first episode of Domer.

You know the show on Netflix, the one about Jeffrey Dahmer that like 90 million people watched?

I'm so clearly in the minority, but I got so scared watching the first episode I couldn't keep going.

I think for some people though, Dahmer scratched that same itch. It's so scary to think about,

it's awful and obviously his crimes are unforgivable. But our curiosity about things like the

darkness that lies within people wins out and we're just pulled towards them. At least for me,

it's like a gravitational pull that I can't escape from.
