Good evening, my little trigger-treaters. I see you've come looking for a scare.

Somewhere you can be horrified. Well, you've come to the right place.

As your host, I'll be taking you through a guided tour of Funhouse Terror.

Mountain Tales brought to you by some of the most twisted minds in podcast land.

Some of these stories are terrifyingly true, while others have been brought to life by an

electrifying imagination. But before warned, this episode isn't for the light of heart.

So close your curtains and lock your doors and settle yourself in for a night of terror.

Welcome to our Ghoulish 2017 Halloween Special.

Our first cryptic tale, called The Princess, comes from the host of creepy John Grills.

I smiled as you hung my picture on the fridge. Your daughter was a wonderful artist.

While you shouted at him in the kitchen, I soothed her and stroked her hair. She was my girl,

and I loved her when you didn't have the time.

I remember the empty bottles of whiskey that marked the day he left, and many days to follow.

Often, I would remind you that such habits were bad for your health, but you didn't listen to me.

You never listened to me. I was sitting with her when you gave her that glass of water.

I remember that it smelled wrong, as she coughed and choked.

I was helpless. I watched you wait until you know it was too late before driving her to the hospital.

I was in the back of the car with her when she drew her final breath.
