Hello, welcome to Scary Stories and Rain. Before we get into tonight's stories, I want to quickly announce the winner of our Nintendo Switch 2 bundle giveaway.

Out of all the entries, the randomly chosen winner is Carolyn LaJoy. I apologize if I mispronounce that.

Congratulations. I'll be reaching out to you shortly via email. I'll be posting a link in

my next video's description with a screenshot showing proof of shipment, just so everyone

knows that my giveaways are legit. And if you didn't win this one, don't worry. The next

giveaway starts right now today, September 1st. And it's a nice one. Honestly, I like this

one better. I'm giving away a PlayStation 5.

Entries are open right now through October 15th. If you want a chance to win, just subscribe to my

podcast for $2.99 a month. You'll be automatically entered into all of the giveaways,

plus you'll get an ad-free experience across every single episode.

And you'll be supporting my show at the same time.

So if you're interested, $2.99 a month.

Check the details in the description to learn how you can subscribe.

And last thing, thank you so much for being here.

I really hope you enjoy. My brother used to repeat this mantra to me when we were just children.

My mother died of a horrible illness when we were young, and it did not take long after that

for my father to become distant. Really, growing up, me and my brother only used to have each

other. I remember being so young. After my mother left us, everything seemed so scary. During

thunderstorms, on the nights where the wind and the rain would seem to take on an entirely different form,

my imagination would, as young imaginations do, run away with itself.

My father was no longer able to offer any kind of reassurance, so naturally I would seek shelter in my

big brother's room.
