Summary

You know, we don’t have to scar children with stories of how they’re going to be eaten in the woods. But also, if we didn’t, would we have as many wonderful listener submitted stories to read in our Urban Legends episodes? Also, what is the most haunted appliance in your house and why is it your printer? 


Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about or mentions of death, family member death, decapitation, mental health struggles, child death, cannibalism, gender dysphoria, drug use, parental illness, drowning, and spousal death.
