Yesterday we celebrated July 4th, our Independence Day.

There were barbecues, fireworks, and celebrations.

While many gathered happily with friends and family,

they were blissfully unaware of the horror stories happening all around them.

Each of the 50 states have their own creepy history,

with curses, ghosts, and murders.

And here are just a few of those chilling tales.

First, deadly games, followed by the scars of childhood.

Then, remember to just keep driving.

Finally, in our feature story, be careful what you wish for.

I receive hundreds of creepy story submissions every single week, and of those, the scariest

ones make it into our podcast, along with the story that we've chosen to animate and post

over at YouTube.com slash snarled.
