Summary

Happy Halloween! In honor of this joyous holiday, we're giving everyone a bonus episode and to mix it up a little, we're steering away from our typical format. We're telling you true firsthand stories about creepy encounters and close calls and they are spooooooky (f'ing terrifying, really). This episode features 4 stories read by us from the POV of the brave people who experienced them. From being stalked by Michael Myers to a bizarre encounter in the woods to surviving violent criminals, be prepared to not sleep.
