Hello, my dark darlings. I'm Archaia, and this is the Something Scary podcast. Before we get started, I wanted to share some news with you. I am going to be leaving something scary at the end of the month. It's been close to three years of amazing times of producing, story editing, and narrating your horror stories and getting to

know you all. The past two years weren't the easiest for any of us, but knowing y'all

were vibing to our content every week helped to ground me. Now I'm going off to do some new

projects. Follow me on social media to keep our conversation going. Meanwhile, there will be a new host,

and Snarled will be sharing more information about them soon. But I'll be here for a few more

weeks, so you want to hear something scary. Many of you have seen a shadow out of the corner of your eye or had a feeling in your

gut so that you were not alone. Most likely you encountered a ghost. But the idea of an entity

is so terrifying is often brushed off as nothing. An apparition can be friendly, but it can also be a murderous

phantom seeking revenge. One thing is certain if an entity is lurking, it wants something

from you. First, enter at your own risk, followed by discarded totems inviting death.

Then, killer history repeats itself.

Finally, in our featured story, Respect the Dead or Become One.

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 snarl. 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, they consider joining

our Patreon.

As a patron, not only can you help the show and see ad-free episodes,

you can also be a part of the horror and hear your name featured in one of our podcasts or weekly video stories.

So, want to hear something scary.
