    In our very first Halloween special, we begin a brand new tradition of Secret Satan: all three of our hosts brought in a smaller story to share with each other... and boy.... they are doozies.


    Travis tells us the story of the Poltergeist of Castle Coldrano, a vengeful spirit that spurred a full police investigation.


    Alec guides us through the legend of the Ahuizotl, a strange water mammal with a knack for drowning victims.


    Last, Chuck brings us through the sightings and strange events around Sam The Sandown Clown, a creature beyond reasonable description.


    Sit back and enjoy these twisted tales. But more importantly... have a happy Halloween, bitches.
