IN THIS EPISODE: This episode was originally aired on April 1st, 2019. Many podcasts and YouTube channels today are taking advantage of the date on the calendar and playing practical jokes on their subscribers in celebration of All Fools Day. I admit, I was tempted to begin a story and then Rick-Roll you, but instead I thought it might be fun to bring some dark stories into today’s podcast that have a funny or amusing twist to them. Still creepy, but comical as well. I don’t believe any of these stories are true – but that doesn’t mean they’re not entertaining.
