They possess an eerie aura, hinting at a darker presence lurking within their innocent exteriors.

We all love to cool off on those hot summer days by jumping into a pool, lake or the ocean, but safely must come first. Not the obvious learning how to swim or wearing gear like wetsuits, but safety from the unknown. The slippery creatures that lurk under the surface. We should beware the call of the water. It may promise wonders, but beneath its seductive facade lies sinister secrets that may lead us to a fate worse than death itself.  First, a deadly reflection  Followed by a dangerous dive Then, a dream pool turned hole of nightmares Finally in our featured story, a monster in disguise Thanks to our sponsors! • Go to Zocdoc.com/SCARY and download the Zocdoc app for FREE.

The 4th of July 4th is Independence Day in America. And while we can all celebrate the freedoms and blessings we have in this country, it doesn't come without great risk.

We wake up in the morning with a long to-do list of things we have to get done just to survive. Everything from school work, to jobs to paying bills. Sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do. And sometimes we have to make unimaginable decisions that have unimaginable consequences. You must be careful, because the wrong choice can lead you down a path of death and destruction. And when we’re left with the daunting task of selecting the lesser of two evils, we fervently hope to emerge from that hell unscathed.

Over the course of a lifetime there are many things we celebrate and many secrets we keep. Everything from small embarrassing stories, to the worst things imaginable. We all have skeletons in our closet, some are just bigger than others.

Love is in the air as “wedding season” is officially upon us. But while love-struck couples are celebrating their nuptials with friends and family, there are those who are not living in such bliss. Some of us are tortured by exes, unrequited love, or relationships that ended when one now lives beyond the grave. And then there are those of us who are just tortured by the rituals of a wedding, figuratively, and some literally. So wherever you fall on the list, take care to guard your heart this season, because a broken heart can be deadly.  First, a deal too good to be true Followed by a deadly lovers quarrel  Then, the wedding of your nightmares Finally in our featured story, fear of the dead Thanks to our sponsors! • To match with a licensed therapist today, go to Talkspace.com/SCARY to get $100 off of your first month and to show your support for the show • Go to Zocdoc.com/SCARY and download the Zocdoc app for FREE.

Summertime is finally here! For many of us school is out, and we can indulge in summer barbeques, outdoor games, beaches and pools! But we're not the only ones outside enjoying the warm summer air. The season also calls forth all of the creepy crawly bugs and beasts who have been in hibernation. And not the cute furry ones, but the ones who need to feed.

For those of us who have siblings, it often means that we have someone to lean on, and a built-in best friend to go on adventures with us. But that's assuming we like one another. Sometimes, our siblings seem to have gotten all the bad traits in the family. They can be ill intentioned or even (pause).. evil. And those terrible brothers or sisters will haunt you from birth till death…. if you last that long.   First, a connection beyond the grave Followed by a book of death Then, a sister’s sweet revenge Finally in our featured story, survival of the fittest Thanks to our sponsors! • Go to Zocdoc.com/SCARY and download the Zocdoc app for FREE. • To match with a licensed therapist today, go to Talkspace.com/SCARY to get $100 off of your first month and to show your support for the show More about the show! • Go to SomethingScary.com to check out the awesome Something Scary Merch.
