Hello, my dark darlings. I'm Marquia, and this is the Something Scary podcast.

To our veteran listeners and those sheltering in the dark with us for the first time, welcome.

It's been Halloween for us for a bit now, but welcome to official October.

So this is when everything would ramp up just a bit more. So as Halloween grows closer,

so do all the scary creatures that come along with it. Scarier than any ghost or mythological

monster, however, are the evils that people are capable of doing to each other. The inner demons that can drive

humankind to do the unthinkable, like kill another person in cold blood. And how that

taste has led to notorious murders throughout history, from Jack the Ripper to the Zodiac Killer.

These homicidal tendencies have inspired the most chilling of tales,

enough to give you serial shivers. First, by popular demand, the horrific return of the grim

gouger, and then were lured astray by a familiar whistle, followed by a tragic update on the Radonica murder case.

And finally, a young girl's investigation uncovers deadly secrets. I receive hundreds of creepy

story submissions every single week. As always, the first story you hear is one that we've chosen

to animate and post over at YouTube.com slash snarled. Then I read a few more

stories for the podcast. If you have a tale you're dying to share, send me an email at something

scary at snarl.com. And if you'd like to support something scary, consider joining our Patreon.

The Return of the Grim Gounder.

One year ago, we told you of a serial killer, a serial killer who had rampaged through the city.
