Hello, spooky friends. Welcome back to your weekly dose of chills. I'm your hostess, Blair Bathory,

and I'm thrilled to bring you scary stories I know you're going to die for. Snuggle under the covers,

turn off the lights, and prepare to drift off to the sound of my voice

as I share a few nightmares with you. Children, teens, and even young adults possess the power

of imagination. They're not weighed down by the rules of the world. They have the ability to see the paranormal and experience things adults cannot connect to.

But by being young means they're also more susceptible to the evils of the world and the afterlife.

After all, only the good die young.

First, surviving high school, followed by haunting childhood memories.

Then, the missing children headcount.

Finally, in our featured story, tragedy never strikes twice.

I receive hundreds of creepy story submissions every single week, and of those the scariest ones make it into our podcast, 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'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?

Only the good die young.

High school is supposed to be the time of your life,

not the only time in your life.

But for some, it's difficult to make it out of high school alive,

like in this story, welcoming back one of our favorite featured writers,

Jennifer Helen Coates.
