Welcome, dear listeners, to scary stories told in the dark.

I'm Malcolm Blackwood, your host and storyteller.

And you know where I'm from, we don't do bedtime stories.

So, if that's what you're expecting, you're in the wrong place. If it's

terrifying tales you're after, well, then I've got just the thing. So, get comfortable,

settle in, turn off the lights, if you dare. Your night is about to get a whole lot darker.

Besides, who needs sleep anyway?

Good evening, listeners, and welcome back to scary stories told in the dark.

I'm your host Malcolm Blackwood.

Tonight, we lift our eyes to the heavens, and our tale today serves as another reminder that fear doesn't always come from what hides in the cellar

or what waits beyond the door. Sometimes it hangs quietly overhead, watching from a place

we've mistaken for familiar all our lives. So, dim the lights, settle in, and steal yourself for another descent into the unknown.
