Hello, I'm Blair Bathory, and this is the Something Scary podcast.

Thank you so much for being here, whether this is your first time or you're one of the brave souls who join us every week.

Do you want to be part of something scary? We have so many ways for you to join us.

The easiest way is to join our Patreon. For just $4.99 a month, you'll get access to our members-only

discord and a chance to talk to others who love scary things as much as you do. Second, treat yourself

to a something scary cap to keep the sun away this summer,
