Summary

OCTOBER IS “OVERCOMING THE DARKNESS” MONTH when I dedicate the podcast to raising funds to support organizations who help people struggling with depression, anxiety, and thoughts of suicide or self-harm. Please help with either a small donation or share this link in your social media to encourage others to give, to get more information about the fundraiser and organizations we are helping, or to get the help that they or a loved one need: https://weirddarkness.com/hope.

IN THIS EPISODE (Originally aired Halloween 2021): As we step into the Halloween weekend, I thought it might be fun to share some Halloween-themed creepypastas. Four fictional stories, in fact. And to add to the “Halloweenishness” of this episode, rather than spooky music in the background, as you can already tell, I’m back at the campfire to tell you these spooky stories – because it just feels more like Halloween that way.
