The Scarecast: Scary Stories, Mysteries, and True Crime

5 Scary Stories: Ghostly Granny, Sleep Paralysis, and Creepy Hotel Owner

Episode Description from the Publisher

Five true scary stories where the paranormal crosses paths with real-world danger. From a dead relative appearing in a hallway to a shadow figure that may be more than sleep paralysis, these encounters leave behind questions that are hard to answer. But the most frightening stories may not involve ghosts at all... A grocery-store worker is pressured to leave the safety of the light and approach a suspicious stranger waiting in the dark. A young woman working far from home accepts a hotel room from her employer—only to discover that the person offering her safety may have had far more sinister intentions. Lock your doors, turn down the lights, and settle in. Because some encounters don’t end when you finally make it home.
