Hello, everyone, and welcome back to National Park After Dark Trail Tales edition,

and it's a very, very special one because we have two of our bestest podcasting friends,

Taylor and Morgan, from Crips and Crimes.

Oh, my goodness. Hello, hello, hello, girls. We're so happy to be crimes. Oh, my goodness.

Hello, hello, hello, girls.

We're so happy to be here.

Yes, thank you for having us.

We're so happy to have you guys here and we're happy to dive into some creepy stories

because both of our audience are showing up today for some stories.

What are you guys bringing?

Okay, so we've got a little bit of a mix. We did do a call out in our last week's episode and we said basically, please, please, anything

that happened to you creepy in the woods, we need it. If you were abducted on Lovers Lane by

aliens, bears, a person, just send it in, please, thank you God, in the middle of a national course. And they did deliver. They showed up and they showed up. Oh, they really did. They did. And we did bring you one extra one that we had done back in 2021. It was one of our first creepy account episodes, which is kind of what we call our trail tale. Hold on. I'm glitching. One second. Let me get

my brain to recount. Back in 2021, we did a creepy account, which is like our version of

listener stories that you guys do too, and that we're on the episode right here, all doing.

And it was so good. It was so creepy. It scarred everyone, all of us. And so we just

needed to bring it to you guys and get your professional opinions about what happened in this

crazy story. Oh, now I'm very intrigued. Okay. I'm scarred easily. Oh, no. Sorry. This was probably

the first creepy account that had genuinely scarred the both of us. So I'm glad we get to reread it. I don't even really remember it. We did it, what, in 2021 or so?

2021. So it was volume 8. So that was eight months into the podcast. Wow. Well, speaking about the podcast before we start sharing stories and stuff, tell us a little bit about your origin story and how you created creeps and crimes and what the show is all about.

So Taylor and I were college roommates at the University of Tennessee. After college, we were like, hmm, what's a way that we could force ourselves to be together

at least once a week, which then ended up into twice a week? And then three times a week.
