Hi, Aadings. This is the Something Scary Podcast. I'm your Aute Sapphire.

The concept of making friends is kind of odd if you think about it. You meet a total stranger,

I receive hundreds of amazing story submissions every single week. As always, the first story you

hear is one that I'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

somethingscary at snarled.com. And if you'd like to support the show and receive bonus content,

demonic, black shadow figures in Islam. Yes, they have the ability to possess. Before humans

roamed the earth, jins were the inhabitants of the earth after dinosaurs, but they were bad,

and often had wars with each other. Hence, God killed them and banished them to stay here.

Jins also have families as well. Jins can be chased away with Quran verses being played or by a

high religious person. However, jins absolutely hate to be talked about, which is why there is not
