Hello, spooky friends. It's your hostess Blair Bathory. Back again to share chills,

thrills, and nightmares with you. Now is a good time to turn off all the lights, curl up in a ball,

and prepare to be scared. That's my personal guarantee to you.

So many of us have four-legged furry friends

that we consider members of our family.

Pets are there to greet, love, and console us.

There's a reason they are called man's best friend.

No matter how domesticated they are,

they are still animals. And four-legged creatures, particularly ones in the wild, have their own agendas. They may be possessed by spirits,

or will kill you if the circumstance is right. You must always be careful to never turn your

back on an animal, because you never know if they will turn on you.

First, haunting of the black cat,

followed by the future brings death,

then destiny preordained.

Finally, in our featured story, the contaminated bloodline.

I receive hundreds of creepy story submissions every single week,

and of those, the scariest ones make it into our podcast,

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 snarled.com.
