Welcome to Episode 499. We’re celebrating the eve of our 500th episode with three deliciously dark tales, read by some legendary voices in horror podcasting. First, we meet a man who’s afraid his past won’t stay buried. Then an amateur ghost-hunter gets his big break. Finally, we discover the immense power of a single word.

Tales to Terrify 500th Episode Special (Part 1)

The unseen creature whose ravenous fangs dog your every step as your footfalls echo down the midnight alleyway. &nbsp;— A long, icy shadow looming over you, making the hairs on your neck rise and your breath turn to ragged puffs of mist.  — Unearthly howls that pierce the night, pulling you from the comfort of sleep with feverish, heart-pounding dread. &nbsp;—
