Hey, creeps and peepers. It's me, Lindsay. And me, Dan. And we've got something special for you today.

We know you love terrifying, eerie stories that keep you up at night. So we think you'll love this

podcast. It's called Run Fool. And believe me, it will give you the chills. From Ballin Studios and

out of the terrifying mind of Rodney Barnes,

Run Fool is a weekly show that brings you grisly, harrowing tales guaranteed to make you scream.

Each week, Run Fool tells a new story of monsters, demons, vampires, the occult, or haunted places.

Rodney creates narratives that will leave you looking over your shoulder

and questioning what's real. In this episode we're about to play for you called stairway to hell,

two college roommates decide to explore a cursed chapel rumored to house a stairway to hell.

According to legend, anyone who dares to climb the stairs will awaken their darkest fears.

What begins as an innocent exploration quickly turns into a nightmare neither of them will ever forget.

New episodes of Run, Fool, come out every Tuesday and you can follow and listen anywhere you get your shows.

And now, a special presentation of, run, fool.

At least I thought so.
