Happy Halloween.

I'm Dan Cummins.

I'll be sharing another original short story of the fictional horror variety.

Thanks so much for wanting to hear more of these stories. And a big thanks as well to AMC's Fear Fest for sponsoring this bonus nightmare fuel story and the replays of some of my favorite past nightmare fuels earlier this week.

Some of you heard a version of this tale when I read it on the live show, Haunted Halloween, True Tales of Hallows Eve 4 last October from New Orleans.

Uh, this is the first time it's shown up in the feed with the immersive scoring and I've edited and altered it a bit.

Uh, added some extra scare. So I hope you enjoy it.

Highly recommend noise cancellation headphones as always to get the most out of the sound design.

Hope you enjoy this new nightmare.

Time now for the tale of the dead house.

If you truly, truly believe, I'm talking beyond a shadow of doubt, in something like ghosts or demons, or any kind of supernatural monster, right down to the very core of your being, then I know you can remember exactly when and why he became a believer.

For me, it was Halloween night, 1985.

If you haven't actually ever experienced something firsthand,

and I mean really, definitely,

that was no trick of the light or my imagination,

experience something in a way that your mind can never deny as much as you might desperately

want it to, then you can be open to the paranormal. You can believe it in the same way someone who

has never seen a UFO or an extraterrestrial can believe in aliens. But you can't know,

not until it happens to you. All you can do is try your best to trust in the

stories of others, to choose to believe that they're telling the truth, or that at least one of them is.
