Good evening. I'm storyteller, oldest Jairie, and hi,

your grandfather. From where I'm from, we know do-bid time stories, and if that's what you

were expecting, you're in the wrong place. If its terrifying tales are after, well then,

I've got just the thing. Get comfortable, settle in, turn off the lights, if you dare.

Your night is about to get a whole lot darker.

Who needs sleep anyway?

Good evening. You're listening to Scary Stories told in the dark.

Welcome to season 4, episode 17. I'm your host, oldest Jairie. In tonight's episode,
