It's officially summer where I live, and that means I can travel to even more haunted places.

I've visited over 200 spooky sites in the last year and always post my findings on TikTok

if you want to see where I've been.

These locations inspire some of the terrifying tales I bring you every week.

Most people go about their lives, going to work or school, hanging out with friends and loved ones.

The way we interact with people can have a deep impact on their well-being.

What we might say in a passing moment can all add up.

Say or do the wrong thing and it can consume someone and become catastrophic.

You might be the one unknowingly spreading words of the wicked.

First, a compelling ghost, followed by killer lies.

Then the parasite knows all.

Finally, in our featured story, a cursed poem.

I receive hundreds of creepy story submissions every single week, and of those, the scariest ones make it into our podcasts, 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. If you'd like to share, send me an email at something scary at snarl.com.
