January 29, 2024 Monthly Spooky | Something Living in Your Ear, A Ghost Smell and Good Dogs as Heroes
A deer runs through a New Jersey school, a ghost reportedly leaves a smell and something alive turns up in an ear. Henrique Couto and Michelle explore those stories in Monthly Spooky’s January 2024 conversation, with heroic dogs offering relief from the more unsettling headlines. Spider encounters and paranormal claims test which fears are easiest to laugh off—and which stay with you after the story ends. The crypt takes a tour through animal chaos, unusual medical reports and hauntings that appeal to a less familiar sense.
