Hey, Prime members, you can binge eight new episodes of the Mr. Ballin podcast one month early

and all episodes ad-free on Amazon Music. Download the Amazon Music app today.

Today's podcast will feature three horrifying stories that will make you wonder who or what

may be lurking in the forest. The audio from all three of these stories has been pulled from our main YouTube

channel and has been remastered for today's episode. The links to the original YouTube videos

are in the description. The first story you'll hear is called pound cake, and it's about a

girl who takes a shortcut on the Appalachian Trail. The second story you'll hear is called The Dream,

and it's about three hikers who attempt

a rugged hike in terrible weather. And the third and final story you'll hear is called

Big Footprint, and it's about a mysterious set of footprints that are found in a marsh.

But before we get into today's stories, if you're a fan of the Strange, Dark, and Mysterious,

delivered in story format, then you've come to the right podcast, that's all we do and we upload twice a week, once on Monday and once on Thursday.

So, if that's of interest to you, please befriend the Amazon Music Follow button, and when they hand you their phone for you to input your own number, Venmo yourself $1,000 and then hand their phone back.

Okay, let's get into our first story called Poundcake.
