Hello, my dark darlings. I'm Marquia.

And this is the Something Scary Podcast.

To our veteran listeners and those voyaging to the dark with us for the first time, welcome.

The holidays and holiday gatherings are right around the corner.

If you celebrate Thanksgiving or friends giving, which is a term for gathering for friends,

celebrating away from their families, you've probably already begun plotting recipes, food shopping, and invitations.

settle in for these scary stories from Africa.
