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

listeners and those just voyaging into the dark with us for the first time, welcome.

Krishna Jan Mashhtami is an important Hindu celebration. It marks the birth of Lord Krishna, an avatar of the Lord Vishnu,

and the intention of ridding the people from the tyranny of King Konza.

It was envisioned as the embodiment of good versus evil.

Yet somehow, as you will see, evil always finds a way to prevail. First, eyes that stalk

in the night, followed by paranoia underlined with a death stroke, then literally, being blinded by evil.

Finally, in our featured story, death lurks in the banyan trees.

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

ones, make it into our podcasts, 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 me 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 podcasts or weekly video stories.

Visit patreon.com slash snarled.

So, want to hear something scary?

Evil will prevail.

Those that typically care for us can also, in an instant, turn into our worst nightmare.

What would you do if someone you trusted implicitly suddenly wanted revenge and no matter what was always watching?

Maybe your reaction would be similar to the people in this story, inspired by Cheyenne.

I am the youngest of seven siblings.
