Hello, my dark darlings. I'm Archaia, and this is the Something Scary Podcasts.

To our veteran listeners and those voyaging into the dark with us for the first time, welcome.

It's comforting to imagine killers behind bars, but what if they get loose?

Some could be stalking around your neighborhood

or even be that dark shadow outside your window.

Today's stories all talk about killers, close to home.

First, we'll watch some live coverage of a murderer gone loose.

Next, we'll order some odd-tasting ice cream from a disgruntled employee.

After that, we'll take a dip in the pool at a roadside bed and breakfast.

And finally, we'll visit a small town and get in deep with some bad kids.

I receive hundreds of creepy story submissions every single week.

As always, the first story you hear is one that we've chosen to animate

and post over at YouTube.com slash snarled.

Then, I read a few more stories for the podcast.

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