Hello, my dark darlings. I'm Marquia, and this is the Something Scary podcast. To our veteran listeners and those braving the dark with us for the first time, welcome. The full moon is the lunar phase where the moon is round and completely illuminated.

It is at the height of power, a sign of rebirth and peak of clarity.

But when the moon glows brightest, it shines a light in the darkest corners of the earth.

The moon becomes a menace, waking all of the beasts that otherwise would lay dormant in the dark. First, a game turned into a haunted reality, followed by a bad

morning that keeps getting worse. Then, terrifying family origins. Finally,

and our featured story, Dark Secrets Uncovered. I receive hundreds of creepy story submissions

every single week, and of those the scariest, 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 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.

They say that art imitates life, but when we create things so frightening for entertainment, we are sure to bring

those things into reality, like in this hair-raising letter from Sayuri Shake.

Dearest Marquia, I had moved to a rather quiet neighborhood with no other houses in sight.

I didn't have any friends yet because I had switched schools, but I didn't care.
