Before the human race harnessed the power of fire, there was only darkness, an inky black foreboding abyss that concealed danger, mystery, and fear.

There, no. The The Good evening and welcome to Here There Be Monsters podcast. I'm your captain, Derek Hayes.

Tonight I'm going to play a mixed bag of stories, a little of this and a little of that.

But first, I owe you all an apology.

an encounter or know someone that has, please call the hotline at 888-608-night.

That's 888-608-6444.

I know there are several of you sitting on the fence debating whether or not to share your
