Octoberpod AM

This episode, we travel to an island resort for a tale of marital strife, forbidden love, and an evil that lurks in the deep. We call it THE STONE MAN ... it was written by Jennifer Hotes (host, Curious Cat podcast) and stars Actually Olga, Mike (Brew Crime Podcast), YouTube's Lady Spookaria, Jen and Cam (hosts of Our True Crime Podcast), and Adam Turner (Diabolical Podcast). THEN Edward October shares some Valentine's Day poetry, courtesy of a horror master. FINALLY we tell the vintage, true ghost encounter Scotland's LADY IN WHITE.
