Something Scary

The hope when we die is that we go peacefully, that our family and friends can mourn us properly, and that we can quickly pass over to the other side to live out our existence among the clouds in heaven. Unfortunately, there are so many things that can go wrong. With other people in charge of our human remains, unsettled souls, and ones seeking vengeance, we are lucky if we make it to the afterlife.   First, who made the call Followed by a killer prank Then, a deadly dorm room Finally in our featured story, watching someone die Thank you to this episode's sponsors! • Zocdoc - Go to Zocdoc.com/SCARY and download the Zocdoc app for FREE. • Füm - Join Füm in accelerating humanity's breakup from destructive habits by picking up the Journey Pack today.

Hello spooky friends, it’s my Birthday this week, and I love nothing more than getting to share scary stories with you. But not all jobs are as great as mine. There is nothing more noble than having a job, paying your bills and contributing to society. But not all jobs are created equally. Strong, able bodied young people can take on more dangerous, physical jobs. Some people have jobs that mentally destroy them. And no matter how easy you think your job may be, there can always be an evil entity that can make your place of work a living hell.  First, spelling solves a murder Followed by terror unleashed  Then, a job too good to be true Finally in our featured story, a wagon that carries death Thank you to this episode's sponsors! • Zocdoc - Go to Zocdoc.com/SCARY and download the Zocdoc app for FREE. • Betterhelp - Visit BetterHelp.com/SCARY today to get 10% off your first month.

Most people hate going anywhere near a hospital, since it usually means someone sick or dying. The halls are shadowed by the devastated souls that could not be healed. There are, however, heroes who dedicate their lives to saving the injured and diseased. But despite their oath to do no harm, sometimes the person standing between life and death, gives one a complex. And that can lead to deadly decisions, not caring whose life is at risk.  First, a story you’re dying to unhear Followed by stained forever Then, the spirits around you Finally in our featured story, the brutal revenge Thank you to this episode's sponsors! • Zocdoc - Go to Zocdoc.com/SCARY and download the Zocdoc app for FREE. • Wondery - Follow THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts, and you can listen to THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING ad free on Wondery Plus.

There are many uncertainties in life, but one thing we know for sure is, we will all die. We all know the options of an afterlife. Be it in the spirit world, a restful place beyond, or the fiery pits of hell. But no matter what you believe happens after death, we all know it will come for us. Some people are accepting of that fact, and others will do whatever they can to avoid their fate and run from the reaper.   First, when will you die? Followed by chasing death Then, do not stop, just drive Finally in our featured story, a haunting sacrifice Thank you to this episode's sponsors! • Zocdoc - Go to Zocdoc.com/SCARY and download the Zocdoc app for FREE. • Betterhelp - Visit BetterHelp.com/SCARY today to get 10% off your first month.

Sometimes there are situations or things in our life that leave deep scars etched into the fabric of our memory. With the help of good people, over time, those deep wounds can be healed. But for some people, they are plagued by the person or event that scared them. No matter how much they try to repress their experiences or heal themselves, their trauma will torture them or worse, turn them into an evil person.  First, Misery seeks company  Followed by living the dream Then, the dead lurking Finally in our featured story, an urban legend you’ll die to hear Thank you to this episode's sponsors! • Zocdoc - Go to Zocdoc.com/SCARY and download the Zocdoc app for FREE. • Betterhelp - Visit BetterHelp.com/SCARY today to get 10% off your first month.

While many are happily preparing for their first days back at school, for others it's causing pure dread. The idea of learning a new routine, having to make new friends and impress new teachers, all while trying to survive life- can be unbearable.

As summer winds down to its end, people are desperate to get in their last minute barbecues and trips to the beach, as if summer will never come again. But some of us are careless not realizing all the dangers that lurk when the weather is still warm. If we’re lucky, we won’t be aware that all of the ghosts and desperate entities are out just dying to get our attention before we disappear back inside.  First, a haunting discovery Followed by a narrow escape Then, a desperate plea Finally in our featured story, scared to death Thank you to this episode's sponsors! • Zocdoc - Go to Zocdoc.com/SCARY and download the Zocdoc app for FREE. • Betterhelp - Visit BetterHelp.com/SCARY today to get 10% off your first month.

We have all been warned about Satan, the pure evil who will try to lure us into doing terrible things. He is often shared as a warning to let our conscience be our guide. To lead us to all be kind, helpful, citizens in our communities. And while we do need to be aware of terrible temptation and avoiding the likes of evil… sometimes the true evil comes from the people in which we’re surrounded.  First, a devilish love affair Followed by the drum beat of hell Then, a daring risk Finally in our featured story, the deadly price of beauty Thank you to this episode's sponsors! • Zocdoc - Go to Zocdoc.com/SCARY and download the Zocdoc app for FREE. • Betterhelp - Visit BetterHelp.com/SCARY today to get 10% off your first month. • Wondery - Enjoy "The Vanished" on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Most people go through the motions of a normal life: Going to camp, school or work, then seeing friends and family at night or on weekends. But some of us feel like we’re on the outside looking in. Never feeling quite “normal” or like we belong. There are some of us that belong to the world of the paranormal. Seeing and feeling things that most people can’t. Sometimes that can be terrifying, but other times, finding a haunted haven, that place where the spirits and monsters reside, can be quite comforting.  First, a window to horrors Followed by unfinished business  Then, a wicked warning Finally in our featured story, dying to be famous Thank you to this episode's sponsors! • Betterhelp - Visit BetterHelp.com/SCARY today to get 10% off your first month. • Zocdoc - Go to Zocdoc.com/SCARY and download the Zocdoc app for FREE.

A full moon is upon us, and while many of us look up at the night sky and enjoy the glow of the lunar light, there are others who see it as something much more sinister. It’s a sign for all of nature to come out and show their true colors, even if that means showing their evil, murderous selves. Because some things in nature, just like some people can’t help their true essence, some are just natural born killers.  First, death disused in beauty  Followed by an urban legend Then, a killer in plain sight Finally in our featured story, the media made a murder  Thank you to this episode's sponsor! • Betterhelp - Visit BetterHelp.com/SCARY today to get 10% off your first month.
