Hello, spooky friends. It's me, Blair Bathory. Your horror host with the most bringing you the scariest

stories from around the world on the Something Scary podcast. I hope you're having a nice summer so far,

wherever you may be. My favorite activity during these warm months is to go camping. Spending time with my friends

under the moon and by a campfire is always a treat. Getting to tell scary stories in person is more

fun. For now, get cozy in your own home because I have some more terrifying tales to share.

We all do our best to count our blessings and be grateful for the abundance surrounding us.

But it's much easier to obsess over the bad things and all that we lack.

Life would be so much easier if there were a way to just get what we want.

When people feel that desperate, they'll

try anything to have it their way, even dabbling with the devil's magic. But people never

seem to realize when dealing with the devil, a hefty price must be paid, and you'll pay it with

your life. First, freshman year terrors,

followed by the unforgivable deal,

then shopping hell.

Finally, in our featured story,

Black Magic Backfires.

I receive hundreds of creepy story submissions

every single week, and of those, the scariest ones make it into our podcast, along with the story that we've chosen to animate and post over at YouTube.com slash snarled. If you have a tale you're dying to share, send me an email at something scary at snarl.com.
