Something Scary

Almost everyone grew up with at least one special doll or toy that acted as a cherished companion. Dolls spark imaginative adventures, and foster creativity and friendship. But not all dolls give you the same joy. Sometimes, their silent gaze and frozen expressions can transform into haunting visions, triggering a realm of living horror. First, time is running out Followed by a deadly puppet master Finally in our last story, trapped in perfect plastic Subscribe: https://bit.ly/subSNARLED Watch the latest: https://youtube.com/watch?playlist&list=PLlt49G0M7dfhhFe79kdPucjYzWv4CK8H1&index=1 Follow us EVERYWHERE: https://facebook.com/watchsomethingscary/ https://facebook.com/getsnarled/ https://instagram.com/wearesnarled/ https://twitter.com/wearesnarled Follow Steffany: TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@steffany_strange YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/SteffanyStrange Instagram: https://instagram.com/steffany_strange/ Follow Blair: TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@blairbathory Instagram: https://instagram.com/blairbathor

This week’s episode explores sleep paralysis, a temporary loss of muscle control just after falling asleep or before waking up. It can turn into a kind of nocturnal nightmare that traps our soul in an unknown realm. Paralyzed bodies, shackled by unseen forces, make us witness to grotesque apparitions lurking in the dark. The silent screams echo within our heads as the line between dreams and reality blur into waking nightmares. If you have experienced sleep paralysis, please let us know. First, endless night of terror Then, a final goodbye Finally in our last story, it’s always watching you Thank you to this episode's sponsor! • Füm - Start the Good Habit at tryfum.com/SCARY to save 10% off the Journey Pack today.

If you’re a decent person with a conscience, feeling guilt over something can be all-consuming. Like a relentless storm, casting a shadow over your every thought and action.

Exacting your revenge on someone might feel good in the moment, like winning a game. It can make you happy in that instant, but it can also make you feel sick to your stomach later.

We recently celebrated Veterans Day, a time to pay tribute to our courageous military veterans who have selflessly defended our nation.

We all have that one toy, doll, or stuffed animal that we were attached to as kids. The thing that could comfort us in our darkest times. But when we endow those items with so much power, it’s no wonder some of them use it against us. Some of our most precious items will turn on us, coming to life and bringing evil into our world. The problem is, you have no idea if the doll that lays beside you at night is a good one, or one that will haunt you forever.  First, horror caught on tape Followed by the corpse bride Then, evil emerald eyes Finally in our featured story, a taste of terror Thank you to this episode's sponsors! • Füm - Join Füm in accelerating humanity's breakup from destructive habits by picking up the Journey Pack today.

We are so drawn to haunted places because they offer a unique blend of fear and fascination. Erie locations allow us to confront our primal fears while also satisfying our intrigue about the mysteries of the area. It also makes them irresistible destinations for adrenaline seekers. But while some use these opportunities for entertainment, there are many who are scarred for life by what they encounter in a haunted place. That is if they’re lucky enough to survive it.  First, a deadly sight Followed by a monster beneath the surface Then, reflection or horrific reality?

We love that Friday the 13th falls in October this year, our spookiest month. Statistically this is actually very rare. As others are gearing up for playful movie nights and superstitious tradition, we know the truth. We must be on the lookout for the darker side of Friday the 13th. The date that calls for the supernatural to reveal itself. A date that can make rational humans go insane. A time when nefarious spirits come out to do their evil bidding. A night that can be so unlucky, it just might kill you.  First, the sins of my mother Followed by a bad influence  Then, an unlucky rabbit’s foot Finally in our featured story, a deadly past Thank you to this episode's sponsors! • Füm - Join Füm in accelerating humanity's breakup from destructive habits by picking up the Journey Pack today.

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?

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.
