Hello, spooky friends. It's your Something Scary podcast hostess and Usher Into the Darkness,

Blair Bathory. Follow along as I take you on a journey through the unknown and discover together

what we fear most. Don't worry. I won't leave you to navigate these terrors alone. Just let my voice be your guide.

It's that time of year again when everyone has either started or is gearing up for a new school year.

Everyone gets a fresh start and new routines.

But you're also stepping into the unknown.

Unknown schedules, classes, and teachers, fellow classmates coming back changed

themselves, and when you don't know what to expect, the unknown can be an extremely dangerous place.

First, a brush with death, followed by a little girl from hell, then into the unknown.

Finally, in her featured story, a reminder to never go alone.

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 snarled.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 podcast or weekly video stories.

So, want to hear something scary?

Yeah. So, want to hear something scary? New school gear, new terrors.

Sometimes we can be peer-pressured into doing things that can frighten us, and while sometimes

it makes us stronger, other times it sucks the life out of us,

like in this story inspired by Jack.
