Hello, my dark darlings. I'm Marquia, and this is the Something Scary podcast. To our veteran

listeners and those sheltering into the dark with us for the first time, welcome. All-consuming

terror can bring us to our most vulnerable. Like a hunger, it can strike suddenly or slowly creep into our minds.

It makes monsters and also monsters of us.

That's how it feeds ravenously.

First, a haunted doll is a terrifying inheritance, followed by a stomach-churning letter.

Then, the thing in the fields feeds and discriminately.

Finally, in our featured story, some horrors are insatiable.

Before we begin, I wanted to make a correction from the podcast we ran two

weeks ago. The story Yuki Ona was not credited correctly. The original fan submitted inspiration was

Santiago Georgi. We wanted to apologize for this error and make sure we gave credit to Santiago,

one of our snorled fans, for sharing

such an amazing story with us. Thank you so much. I receive hundreds of creepy story submissions

every single week, and 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.

So, want to hear something scary?

Ravenous ratings.

The things we inherit can often leave traces of their former owners.

Some gifts are nothing more than a curse, like in this story inspired by Chris B.

Ronald and his wife Marie were a middle-aged couple living in a lavish home in one of the nicest areas of town. If they weren't running any of the high-brow events going on, they were

definitely on the guest list. And of course, with such reputations came scrutiny from others.
