You better watch out

It's our last Nosleep of the season, so we've got another bits and pieces episode today. This one is featuring four tales by Nosleep author Travis Brown (u/grand_theft_motto), one of which was written just for the show. 

Two brothers map out a mysterious forest in search of answers to an old family mystery. 

This recording was recovered from the ruins of the historic Haywood Estate. 

Today's episode follows the journey of one doctor exploring a precarious and dangerous ecosystem. 

This season wouldn't be complete without a horse episode. And this horse is even spookier than The Long Horse was in season one. You could even call it... The Worst Horse. Today's episode was written by Helen Theodora Waite, or as you might know her from reddit; u/PreistessOfSpiders.

"It's just like it goes to sleep. When it gets some air, it awakens again. People might forget about it for a while. But you know, it's always burning down there somewhere."

- Connie Dunkle, New Straitsville Historian. 

"Others emerged from the light, shadow, and sound of a lonely wood. Others are straight-out lies, cousins to the tall tale, spun by frontiersmen, woodsmen, cowboys, and carnival sharps to prank the tenderfoot and pass the time. All are part of an unnatural natural history that reaches back to our earliest mythology." 

- Alvin Schwartz on his book 'Kickle Snifters and Other Fearsome Critters'

"If the Lord puts something on you and wants you to do it, you better do it. I fear the Lord." 

- Jimmy Harston (creator of the HELL IS REAL billboard)

This episode was written by Weird Tales Legend Clark Ashton Smith. For those unfamiliar with his work, the quote that I think best sums up his general vibe was one said by fellow author and critic L. Sprague de Camp. de Camp said of Smith that "Nobody since Poe has so loved a well rotted corpse." Enjoy. 

!!! It's our fourth of july spooktacular !!! 

In this episode, a group of friends go on an all-American vacation! They experience nature, rednecks, guns, and of course, fireworks!

"Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry." 

- Richard P. Feynman

Todays' story was written by D.D. Wikman, or as you might know them from Nosleep; U/Saturdead. 

"The lizard brain is not merely a concept. It's real, and it's living on the top of your spine, fighting for your survival. But, of course, survival and success are not the same thing."

- Seth Godin

 

Nothing is more inviting to an urban explorer than a locked gate and a threatening sign. 

Today's episode, written by Matt Dymerski, is a tale of two people exploring the true depth of friendship. 

"Humans are the reproductive organs of technology."

- Kevin Kelly

You've heard the stories about alien-like beasts roaming around on the outskirts of Cleveland Ohio. Legend has it they used to be orphaned children experimented on by an evil doctor, then turned loose and left to go feral in the woods. 

Well, that's all nonsense. Today we bring you the true story of the Cleveland Melonheads, as told by the man behind the legend. 

In this tale by prolific Nosleep author Travis Brown, two men attending an AA meeting help each other with their addictions.
