Hello, my dark darlings. I'm Marcia. And this is the Something Scary Podcast. To our veteran

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

a battlefield in Russia and encounter some violent memories.

Today's episode was recorded live at LA Comic Con. Be sure to follow us on social media

to find out where we pop up next, and maybe you too can experience the horrors of something

scary in person. We receive hundreds of creepy stories that missions every single week,
