Hey, folks, this is Max Young Rice from the StoryCorps podcast.

Just want to remind you that you can tell us your personal stories by calling our voicemail at 702-706 talk.

This week, tell us your favorite memory from Halloween.

The spookier, the better.

That's 702-706, T-A-L-K.

So we've been called StoryCorps for over 20 years, but I cannot tell you how many people

actually struggle with our name. I am recording with StoryCorps, M-O-B-A-Labama.

StoryCorps.

I get it.

That silent ass on the end is tricky.

But StoryCorps is not really the vibe we want to bring.

There are pumpkins on porches, plastic skeletons in front yards.

So maybe just for this week, we can take you into our tomb beneath the Library of Congress,

In this episode, we're digging up our favorite Halloween stories to find the

spookiest moments hidden in ordinary lives.
