Hi, Ottings. This is the Something Scary podcast. I'm your Ate Sapphire. In today's episode, we'll be

learning about that dangerous demon called greed. We'll begin with an urban legend from Spain,

then follow a truck driver on his late night route, look for cursed buried treasure, and pay a

visit to Crimson Grove.

I receive hundreds of amazing story submissions every single week.

As always, the first story you hear is one that I've chosen to animate and post over at

YouTube.com slash snarled.

Then I read a few more stories for the podcast.

If you have a tale you're dying to share, send me an email at something scary at snarled.com.

So...

Want to hear something scary?

Gold coins.

The following is based on an urban legend from Spain.

Many years ago, there was a large and beautiful house in the center of Cordoba, Spain.

It was owned by the Belasco's, a very wealthy family comprised of a father, mother, and their nine-year-old daughter, Sophia.

Since her parents were usually busy and away for work, Sophia was practically raised by her maid, Isabella.

She lived in the house with Sophia and would only go home to her own family one weekend every month. Despite all her

years of service to the Belasco's, Isabella wasn't being paid a fair wage, but she knew she was

better off staying with them than trying to find work elsewhere. One day, Isabella came back to the

Belasco's house in tears. What's wrong? asked Sophia.

My son's not doing well.

He needs to see a doctor, but I don't know how I'm going to afford it.
