Mike Walters discovers a mysterious online game called WOE.BEGONE. The first challenge isn’t even that hard. It will probably stay that way, right?

There are so many ways to support the show. You can write well-wishes on a scrap of paper and bury that paper under the tallest tree in the neighborhood. You can leave a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts. You can support me on Patreon at patreon.com/woe_begone and get early access to episodes, instrumentals, and more. You can get the album WOE.BEGONE: Music From the Podcast Season 1 on Bandcamp at woebegonepod.bandcamp.com or for free if you’re a $5/mo patron. You can make a snowball during a blizzard and keep it in the freezer so that you have some snow to play with even when it gets warm outside. I really did that once. I was a weird kid.

William is a rational man, but even rational men are left broken by the Great Darkness of 1999. Despite his skeptical outlook, he is haunted by dreams of the most horrible and macabre variety. Most of all, he is terrorized by a single harrowing figure - the Elevator Man.

After a series of traumatic events, including losing his job, Nate and his dog Bella move across country to the East Coast. Nate documents the whole process, as he seeks to try something new and have a fresh start.

The new house appears perfect: huge, loads of room, a yard for Bella to run in… and the rent is unbelievably low. But there’s something not quite right. The house feels… off. Knocking noises in the nighttime, and a locked room in the basement, filled with letters about strange occurrences and ghostly figures.

Who wrote the letters? And why are they all stored in the cellar? Join Nate, his dog, and his friend Steve as they search for answers.
