Hello, my dark darlings, I'm Archaia, and this is the Something Scary podcast. To our veteran listeners and those just voyaging into the dark with us for the first time, welcome. A new moon coincides with fresh starts and rebirth, but a full moon can leave an opening for evil to find its way into our lives. If you

Then don't ignore the signs.

Finally, in our featured story,

a new house isn't always an empty house.

I receive hundreds of creepy story submissions every single week,

and of those, the scariest ones, make it into our podcast. Along with the story that we've chosen to animate and post over at YouTube.com slash snarled. If you have a tale you're dying to share,

send me an email at something scary at snarl.com. If you like to support something scary,

then consider joining our Patreon. As a patron, not only can you help the show and see ad-free episodes, but you can also be a part of the horror,

and hear your name featured in one of our podcasts or weekly video stories.

Yusef surprised Anika with a week-long trip to Zambay River in the Himalayan forest. He specifically

planned this trip because every full moon when the light hits the trees near the river, they

illuminate and look like dancing bodies.
