Hello, Something Scary fans. I'm Blair Bathory, the newest member of the Something

Scary team, and this is the Something Scary podcast. Before I begin, I wanted to say that I am so

excited to be here. I've been a fan of something scary for a long time, and I've been a

horror lover all my life. Some of you might know me from my TikToks or YouTube channel, but now I am

thrilled to be here, helping bring you the spookiest stories and the most frightening tales we can find.

I'm also excited to be working with Stephanie Strange, who we will hear from later in this podcast,

and you can see her debut episode over at YouTube.com slash snarled.

We all possess the ability to be both good and evil,

but it's our circumstances that will dictate which path we take. When we're on top,

it's much easier to be kind, giving, and sympathetic.

But when our luck runs out, when we're desperate, that is when we make deals with the devil.

First, a detective asks for help, followed by a battle of demons.

Then the devil's plaything wants company.

Finally, in our featured story, the truth yields deadly consequences.

We 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.

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

If you'd like to support something scary, then consider joining our Patreon.

As a patron, not only can you help the show and see ad-free episodes, but you can also be a part of the horror, and hear your name featured in one of our podcast or weekly video stories. Visit patreon.com slash snarled. So, want to hear something scary.

Deal with the devil.

We all want a safe place to live.

Streets we can walk down without looking over our shoulder.

But even the police can't stop everything, as in this story, written by Janine.
