Good, very, nothing. The The Good evening and welcome to Hear There Be Monsters podcast.

I am your captain, Derek Haynes.

It's that time of year.

The days are growing shorter.

The leaves are dying and the air is turning crisp.

Halloween is in the air and I'm anxious to get a little spooky.

So without further ado, let's do just that.

Our first story, the night, comes to us from Southern California.

Hello, Derek. My name is Ben Bossetter, and I have a story for you, a bit of a short

ghost story that happened to me. Not necessarily ghosts, but definitely something I can't quite explain.

Several years ago, a buddy of mine invited me over to his house to play a video game

overnight.

His parents were not the biggest fans of me, so the only time we could sing out were when

his parents were out of town.

So sure enough, they had gone on vacation, and he invited me over,

so he could stay up to the wee hours of the morning, trying to beat this game.

And myself and him were in the living room with his two dogs.

One was a kind of a hunting dog, and the other was a small, goofy chihuahua.

And we're both hours into playing a game.

And we hear on the other side of the house the front door open.

And what sounded like two people talking and walking into the house, like normal conversation you would hear people having some arriving home back and forth.

The dogs go bananas and run to the door.
