The Podcast Inside Your House - A Horror Show

"...particularly on the occasion of Samhain, bonfires were lit with the express intention of scaring away the demonic forces of winter, and we know that, at Bealltainn in Scotland, offerings of baked custard were made within the last hundred and seventy years to the eponymous spirits of wild animals which were particularly prone to prey upon the flocks - the eagle, the crow, and the fox, among others. Indeed, at these seasons all supernatural beings were held in peculiar dread."- From the book 'British Fairy Origins', by Lewis SpenceSend us a message!

"Others emerged from the light, shadow, and sound of a lonely wood. Others are straight-out lies, cousins to the tall tale, spun by frontiersmen, woodsmen, cowboys, and carnival sharps to prank the tenderfoot and pass the time. All are part of an unnatural natural history that reaches back to our earliest mythology." - Alvin Schwartz on his book 'Kickle Snifters and Other Fearsome Critters'Send us a message!

"Growing up with violence, with inescapable expertly choreographed brutality in every home builds not only a kind of desensitization for it, but it also creates a market for violent entertainment by people for whom even what they see on television is not enough, is not graphic enough, is not explicit enough, and some movie productions, some big productions really cash in on that market. What is peculiar about this is that as time goes on, a greater dosage is necessary to satisfy this need."- George GerbnerSend us a message!

I wrote this story in 2016 and it's been heavily re-edited for this episode, as I now know how to use commas in a slightly less annoying way. But it is still very much a time capsule of my writing back then. It's also a bit of a time capsule of what I would call the only sort of paranormal experience I've ever had as it's (very loosely) inspired by real events. We wanted to air this story for our Halloween special because I'll be telling the real story that inspired it on a friend's podcast soon. Send us a message!

Have you been listening to our show and thinking; these stories are great, but I just wish there were more run-on sentences and really drawn-out exposition? In the oldest story we've aired yet by Annie you get to hear all of that!Really though, I wrote this one in 2017 for Nosleep under an old pen name. It was probably the story I was most proud of back then, and I'm excited to share this little glimpse into the past with you guys. Send us a message!

"Pepe looked suspiciously back every minute or so, and his eyes sought the tops of the ridges ahead. Once, on a white barren spur, he saw a black figure for a moment; but he looked quickly away, for it was one of the dark watchers. No one knew who the watchers were, nor where they lived, but it was better to ignore them and never to show interest in them. They did not bother one who stayed on the trail and minded his own business."- 'Flight' by John SteinbeckSend us a message!
