Hello, my dark darlings. I'm Marquia, 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.

So, how many of you have listened to our new Scarity Chat Podcasts? If you haven't, go to Apple or Spotify and listen now.

Caitlin and Monica are true fans and horror culture affectionados. Each week, together with one of their friends or fellow horror

junkies, they talk about what scared them when they were young and what still scares them today.

In a world filled with ghosts and spirits, the most frightening thing is often other humans.

Be careful who you trust and remember to listen to your own intuition, because that

uneasy feeling in the pit of your stomach may be your only warning of the killers

hiding in plain sight. First, small

town terrors, followed by a love worth dying for, then a shadowy killer. Finally in our featured

story, an octopus and a monster. I receive hundreds of creepy story

submissions every single week, and of those, the scariest ones make it into our podcasts, 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'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 podcasts or weekly video stories.

Killers hiding in plain sight. You may figuratively kill yourself trying to make new friends,

but sometimes your new friends may end up literally killing you,

like in this story inspired by William.

Persephone was a goth and proud of it.

She gravitated towards dark clothing and black nail polish.
