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.

We are taught to try to ignore the little things that get on our nerves and bug us,

like a noisy neighbor, a pesky sibling, or even a little shoefly. But when something really gnaws at you, getting under your skin, you must address it.

Or it could end up being the death of you. First, death from deep within. Then a sleepover turned terrible

nightmare, followed by a neighbor's kindness that kills. Finally, in our featured story, a deadly bite.

I receive hundreds of creepy story submissions every single week,

and of those, the scariest ones, make it into our podcast,

If you have a tale you're dying to share, send me an email at something scary at snarl.com.

If you'd 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

podcast or weekly video stories. Visit patreon.com slash snarl.
