Hello, my dark darlings, I'm Archaia, and this is the Something Scary podcast. To our veteran

listeners and those just voyaging into the dark with us for the first time, welcome. With Earth Day

coming up, we tend to take a better look at the planet around us. Typically, we see the lush trees, dancing rivers,

and the earth on which we ground ourselves. But the climate is changing, and Mother Nature isn't happy.

Hidden in her darkest corners lurk powerful crystals, trees that breathe, and monsters that would do anything to protect the

sacred secrets of the earth, especially if that means killing humans. First, nature's always

listening, followed by a deadly family secret. Then a trapped soul's revenge. Finally, in our featured

story, the shrill cry of death. 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 support something

scary, then consider joining our Patreon. As a patron, not only can you help the show and see ad-free episodes,

but you can also be a part of the horror,

and hear your name featured in one of our podcasts or weekly video stories.

So, want to hear something scary?

Wrath of Mother Earth.

The Earth is a thing of wonder and beauty.

Nature should be respected and cared for.

But not everyone acts that way,

so at times nature fights back.
