Scared To Death

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2025! Dan starts us with  a very, very strange story set in Brazil in 1966 that sure reeks of an alien abduction. Then, we explore what seems to be an intensely haunted inn in Ashland, Massachusetts’: Stone’s Public House. Lynze brings us a classic-ish Hat Man tale followed up by a very peculiar hitchhiker story! Enjoy this start to 2025, friends!

A haunting that reads like the basis for a really good horror movie. Then, Lynze shares an interesting haunted apartment s...
