Hello, my dark darlings. I'm Markia, and this is the Something Scary podcast. To our veteran listeners and those sheltering into the dark with us for the first time, welcome. We're going to do something a little bit different for you this week. You know how during our live streams, and for those that don't know, we have a live stream the last Wednesday of every

month at 3 p.m. Pacific time at YouTube.com slash snarled. One of the questions that tends to come up is

what crystals am I using? What are my protection stones? We want to give you some true supernatural

tales this time just so that you know an inkling of why you too should do protection stones.

And for those that ask, black termaline is, along with stones like onyx.

You can also do fools gold, also known as pyrite, is a really good protection and also a prosperous

stone amongst others.

But remember, allowing yourself to be a conduit to the energies around you is a bold choice.

Be careful.

Taking the path less traveled is adventurous, but attuning yourself with the right energy is key.

Take protective measures, respect the spaces you move through because if you don't, you can open yourself up to horrors beyond your imagination.

Today, we explore true supernatural tales.

First, beware what you awaken when you trespass.

Next, not all family gifts are blessings.

After that, death follows from birth.

And finally, we discuss the harrowing event of The Suitcase Found on Randonautica.

So make sure you listen all the way to the end.

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.
