The following audio horror presentation is intended to frighten and disturb.

Join us on this dark and unsettling journey at your own risk.

Because behind these doors there will be no sleep.

Brace yourself for the No Sleep Podcast.

It's the No Sleep Podcast. I'm David Cummings. Thanks for joining us.

On the show this week we have five tales about sinister seniors intimidating islands and terrifying train tracks.

Welcome to the premiere of season 10. We've hit double digits and we're all so glad you've joined us for this special season.

It's hard for me to believe we've reached this point but of course it wouldn't be possible without our wonderful No Sleep Podcast team who help create the episodes each week.

And of course you are fantastic fans who support what we do.

And a big thanks to both Brandon Boone and Phil Micalski who created this season's theme music.

Staring Symphonic Strings Gentlemen.

We've got a lot of special stuff in store this season. We've got bonus episodes planned, the You will Tide Christmas episode, and you just might hear some voices from the past.

And not just the ones in your own head this time.

And don't forget you can see us live next February and March for the sleepless 2018 tour.

Fun and festive flights all season long.

So my friends it's season 10 its episode one and the stories are ready. Let's start the journey.

In our first tale we meet a woman who recounts her younger days when times were tough and family was all she had to cling to.

Performing this tale are Nicole Goodnight, Erica Sanderson and Erin Lilis.

So while you might enjoy a nice warm soak you'll want nothing to do with Grandma's tub.

Growing up I lived in a three story Victorian with my mother, little brother, and what I think was my grandmother.
