Ep 337: Your True Halloween Stories IV – Part 2
“I had a feeling overcome me. It was like a really hard feeling to describe, but I guess like goosebumps down your spine, like that type of deal.”
Description:
We hope the first round of spooky stories from our listeners has either got you warmed up for more or chilled to the bone for our next series of Your True Halloween Stories Part Two! Tonight, we first hear from Ray, who along with two other counselors at a summer camp, feel the fear when a little girl repeatedly refuses to go back to bed in, Nessun Dorma. Our second account comes from Brian who experienced frightfully powerful poltergeist forces and entities which turn from sweet to sour while living in San Luis Obispo, CA in, The Un-welcomed Guest House. And finally, we hear from Terry who was working the night shift as a nurse in a hospital’s coronary care unit when Andy Dies Screaming. It’s time to turn on the night lights and tune in as our listeners bring on the scary! 🫣

Best Friends Animal Society
Every October this show fills up with black cats, dogs nobody owned standing at the end of a dark road, and other familiars of one kind or another. So this year we went looking for an animal charity, and we found the Best Friends Animal Society. They've been at it since 1984. They run a sanctuary on nearly 6000 acres of red-rock country outside Kanab, Utah, with up to 1600 animals at a time – dogs, cats, pigs, you name it, and they're one of the most widely regarded no-kill animal organizations in the country. Their goal is no dog or cat killed in an American shelter for lack of a home. They call it Save Them All. And they're close. In 2025, more than two out of three shelters in the U.S. reached no-kill. Four million dogs and cats found homes. A record 83% of the cats that went into a shelter came back out alive. And a dog or cat is still killed in a shelter every 90 seconds, because there's nowhere to put them. Black cats especially. Best Friends says they’re usually the last ones out the door, and a Colorado State study found that an adult black cat waits three to six days longer than other colors to get adopted. Best Friends works with more than 5500 shelters and rescue groups nationwide, and in 2024, 87¢ of every dollar they spent went straight to programs and services. So folks, if the cats and dogs in these stories have ever made you want to do something, go to BestFriends.org/DONATE. A one-time gift buys meals, warm beds, and medical care. A monthly gift makes you what they call a Guardian Angel, and it keeps the help coming all year. Every black cat, or cat of any color, stray dog, or any other creature in a kennel tonight deserves a better life.

Monsters among us podcast
Have you ever heard a true paranormal story that stuck with you for years? Like, you wish you could forget it… But you can’t? That’s exactly what you get on Monsters Among Us Podcast. Every week, real people call in and share their true encounters with the unexplained: ghosts, strange creatures, missing time… things that just don’t make sense. And here’s the twist: you hear these stories in the witnesses’ own voices. So it feels… a little too real. Like Julie, who drove past a fatal car accident, then realized she had a ghostly hitchhiker, the deceased victim. Or a caller who saw three strange entities in the woods moving in unison, then lost 8 whole hours without any explanation. Or Mack from Mississippi, who broke his back when he fell out of his tree stand, only to be nursed back to health by a maternal sasquatch… literally. The show is hosted by Derek Hayes, who pulls these calls together into something that feels like a late-night radio show you probably shouldn’t be listening to alone. It’s got that classic Unsolved Mysteries vibe, mixed with the eerie storytelling style of Art Bell. There are over 500 episodes already waiting for you, so if you’re into the paranormal, or even just a little curious, this is a deep rabbit hole.
