A Friend Called Fear

My friend S tells me about the thing in her room, a weird child and her recurring nightmare. This has taken a while but hopefully we can return to a few more stories I've planned with lesser intervals!As always thanks for listening, spread the spooky word and do give my insta page a follow:instagram.com/afriendcalledfearpod

When he was young, Anhad always felt like an outlier. From the topsy-turvy world of his boarding school, where he witnessed something otherwordly - to coming face to face with real horror during his college life, one thing is for sure - Anhad has always stood out to me as someone who never shies away from the human responsibility of helping a person in need. It's what gives his story heart and ultimately, makes me utterly terrified of the nightmares that lie hidden in this world. Experienced something you cannot explain?

This episode features my friend, who didn't want to be named, but her tale is indeed very strange. Made up of many ups and downs, the start of how we got to know each other is quite sweet. She and her sister met my parents on a train; my father invited her over for Eid, and the rest is history. From her college life to fairly deep into her married life, she has had myriad weird and unexplainable things happen to her. Listen to episode 2 of A Friend Called Fear now for more! If you have had weird and borderline supernatural things happen to you or to anyone you know, please reach out to me or write to me at [email protected]

Welcome to A Friend Called Fear! This is episode 1 in what I hope will be a continuous series where I can keep bringing you spooky and weird tales told by my friends. This episode features Anand, who I met at work around 10 years back and while coming back home in a shared cab almost every other day, he would often regale and creep me out with his tales. Well, they all just happen to be true and now you can hear them for yourself! *Headphones recommended* Once you're done with the episode, go follow my Insta page and let me know what you'd like to hear so I can keep bringing you such stories. Also, stay tuned as there's much more to come! Cover art by Nitish Singh. Editing by Aritra Gayen. All music (except intro music) by mellowghost.
