Hello, I'm Blair Bathory, and this is the Something Scary podcast.

Thank you so much for being here, whether this is your first time, or you're one of the brave souls who join us every week.

Before we get started, I wanted to say thank you to all of our friends who have

recently joined our Patreon. If you'd like to support the show and everything we do at Snarled,

join our Patreon at patreon.com slash snarled. You'll get bonus content and you can chat with other

horror fans on our members-only Discord, and we'll

even use your name in one of our upcoming stories. It's St. Patrick's Day this week, a day that

commemorates the saint and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. It celebrates the Irish

luck that people feel because of the occasion. And while many of us

count on our blessings and have moments of feeling lucky, there are those who seem absolutely cursed.

Some people just can't catch a break and suffer through with a string of terrible luck. Is it just a coincidence?

Or was there something done to anger the spirits?

Either way, when death comes knocking,

you better hope your luck hasn't run out.

First, an unfortunate chain of events, followed by a fatal mistake.

Then, everything is dying.

Finally, in our featured story, death is calling.

So, want to hear something scary?
