Summary

We all need money to survive so we can pay our bills and put food on the table. But money and greed possess an insidious power, capable of turning even the most kind-hearted souls into monsters. If we give in to the allure of wealth, empathy disappears, replaced by a relentless pursuit of profit at any cost. The insatiable hunger for more blinds us to the consequences of actions. Ultimately, this pursuit can destroy the human spirit, turning once decent people into unrecognizable creatures. First, a tale from Japan Followed by curse of the eldest Then, a deadly sibling rivalry Finally in our featured story, The urban legend of Tula Bechulude, who some call Zimbabwe’s Annabell tale Thank you to this episode's sponsors! • FUM: Start the Good Habit at https://tryfum.com/SCARY to save 10% off the Journey Pack today. • Liquid IV: Get 20% off your first order when you go to LIQUIDIV.COM and use code SCARY at checkout.
