Happy Halloween my friends. I hope you are having a spooky, fun and safe season. Today I have a very special treat for you. Not only is this a story share based on Halloween, it comes with a few twists. This is the first time I’ve allowed authors to send in fictional work not just true tales. One is a true story by the way. Next, this is my first cross-over episode. I am joined by Mary Kate and Sam from the podcast East Coast Haunts. Together we shared the responsibility for which stories were accepted, the reading of them, and a post-story feedback session. I had such fun working with these ladies, I hope you have a good time hanging out with us.
There are stories about thrilling monsters, haunted objects, scary kids, and places. A perfect buffet of spooky stories for this time of year.
