It's time to turn off the lights and turn on the dark.

Chilling tales for dark nights. The

The Good evening and welcome to chilling tales for dark nights.

I'm your host for this evening, Nicholas Ghoroff, filling in for Steve Taylor.

Tonight's tale takes us into the kind of small town where the roads are quiet, the backyards are fenced,

and the woods beyond them are so familiar that no one thinks twice about the sounds coming from the trees,

until those sounds begin to change.

What starts with a few strange howls in the night soon gives way to shattered lights,

missing animals, frightened families, and the growing suspicion that whatever is moving

through the pines is no ordinary predator.

In a place where everyone knows everyone, the most terrifying thing of all may be realizing

that something has come prowling out of the dark and it isn't afraid of people at all.

Settle in and dim the lights, because we're about to find out, and the show is about to begin.
