Hello, my dark darlings. I'm Marquia, and this is the Something Scary podcast. To our veteran

listeners and those sheltering in the dark with us for the first time, welcome. This has been a tough

week, a tough week out of a number of tough week. It just seems that everything

keeps on piling on top of everything else. In a way, it's almost like a hero's trial.

We're all going through what we need to, to come out the other side, better people than we are now.

A thing to keep in mind is when you hear narratives being spun in different ways.

It's like the spiders web that stories create online. They're spun over and

over as they get retold and spread. The lines blur fact and fiction, and as you get closer to

look, it's already too late. You're trapped. It's dangerous to believe every scary story you read online

because even the most ridiculous tales hold a frightening grain of truth.

But we never know for sure since so few live to spread the word.

Only scraps of digital footprints remain and even those grow cold as death.

First, we search for Smile Dog, the iconic creepy pasta abridged. Next, beware what you say. It's dying to come true. After that, a cyber threat befalls us in the

theater, a beloved creepypasta. And finally, a couple's retreat makes for some killer romance.

I receive hundreds of creepy story submissions every single week. As always,

the first story you hear is one that we'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 snarl.com.
