Welcome back to Walking Dread, the daily podcast that sends shivers down your spine! Tonight's tale of terror takes us to a town haunted by a chilling curse. For generations, the town has lived in fear of May Eve, when a thick fog rolls in and claims a victim. The townsfolk believe it's the work of Old Maude, a witch they burned at the stake centuries ago.

But three brave teenagers, Mia, Ben, and Jake, decide to fight back against the curse! They sneak into Maude's creepy cottage and discover her secret diary. The diary reveals the truth about the curse and how to break it. All they have to do is return a stolen bell to the old church, easy peasy right?

WRONG! While their actions stop the fog from taking a victim, they unwittingly unleash something far worse. Maude, in all her vengeful glory, rises from the grave! Turns out, she wasn't cursed, but sacrificing herself to protect the town from an even greater evil!

The town is now at the mercy of the vengeful witch, and it's a bloodbath. But this is only the beginning of their nightmare. Maude's resurrection was just the first step in a far more sinister plan! Something monstrous and ancient is stirring beneath the town, something that makes Maude look like a friendly ghost!

Will anyone survive the witch's wish? Tune in to find out in this chilling episode of Walking Dread!
