Those unable to control this urge will incite trouble, earning the label "lunatics" from lunar, as in, the moon made me do it. So beware: don’t give in to your inner animal on the night of a full moon, feeling unhinged could lead to danger all around you.

We all need money to survive so we can pay our bills and put food on the table. But money and greed possess an insidious power, capable of turning even the most kind-hearted souls into monsters. If we give in to the allure of wealth, empathy disappears, replaced by a relentless pursuit of profit at any cost. The insatiable hunger for more blinds us to the consequences of actions. Ultimately, this pursuit can destroy the human spirit, turning once decent people into unrecognizable creatures.

People develop all types of cravings like carbs, or sugar.

What’s scarier than nightmares, darkness and demons? Love. It can feel like the greatest emotion in the world.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

While many are happily preparing for their first days back at school, for others it's causing pure dread. The idea of learning a new routine, having to make new friends and impress new teachers, all while trying to survive life- can be unbearable.

As summer winds down to its end, people are desperate to get in their last minute barbecues and trips to the beach, as if summer will never come again. But some of us are careless not realizing all the dangers that lurk when the weather is still warm.

We have all been warned about Satan, the pure evil who will try to lure us into doing terrible things. He is often shared as a warning to let our conscience be our guide. To lead us to all be kind, helpful, citizens in our communities. And while we do need to be aware of terrible temptation and avoiding the likes of evil… sometimes the true evil comes from the people in which we’re surrounded.  First, a devilish love affair Followed by the drum beat of hell Then, a daring risk Finally in our featured story, the deadly price of beauty 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. • Wondery - Enjoy "The Vanished" on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Most people go through the motions of a normal life: Going to camp, school or work, then seeing friends and family at night or on weekends. But some of us feel like we’re on the outside looking in. Never feeling quite “normal” or like we belong. There are some of us that belong to the world of the paranormal. Seeing and feeling things that most people can’t. Sometimes that can be terrifying, but other times, finding a haunted haven, that place where the spirits and monsters reside, can be quite comforting.  First, a window to horrors Followed by unfinished business  Then, a wicked warning Finally in our featured story, dying to be famous Thank you to this episode's sponsors! • Betterhelp - Visit BetterHelp.com/SCARY today to get 10% off your first month. • Zocdoc - Go to Zocdoc.com/SCARY and download the Zocdoc app for FREE.

A full moon is upon us, and while many of us look up at the night sky and enjoy the glow of the lunar light, there are others who see it as something much more sinister. It’s a sign for all of nature to come out and show their true colors, even if that means showing their evil, murderous selves. Because some things in nature, just like some people can’t help their true essence, some are just natural born killers.  First, death disused in beauty  Followed by an urban legend Then, a killer in plain sight Finally in our featured story, the media made a murder  Thank you to this episode's sponsor! • Betterhelp - Visit BetterHelp.com/SCARY today to get 10% off your first month.

Throughout our childhoods, many of us had a special toy or doll that brought us joy and companionship. However, in rare instances, some of these playthings seem to be more than that.

We all love to cool off on those hot summer days by jumping into a pool, lake or the ocean, but safely must come first. Not the obvious learning how to swim or wearing gear like wetsuits, but safety from the unknown. The slippery creatures that lurk under the surface. We should beware the call of the water.

The 4th of July 4th is Independence Day in America. And while we can all celebrate the freedoms and blessings we have in this country, it doesn't come without great risk.

Some of us live the entire year just waiting to get to summer camp. It’s a world of boundless wonder and fun. You play games with friends you don’t always get to see.

We wake up in the morning with a long to-do list of things we have to get done just to survive. Everything from school work, to jobs to paying bills. Sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do. And sometimes we have to make unimaginable decisions that have unimaginable consequences.

Over the course of a lifetime there are many things we celebrate and many secrets we keep. Everything from small embarrassing stories, to the worst things imaginable.

Love is in the air as “wedding season” is officially upon us. But while love-struck couples are celebrating their nuptials with friends and family, there are those who are not living in such bliss.
