What campfire horrors kick off the episode and who are the hosts?
Welcome back to Heart Starts Pounding, Dark Summer Edition. As always, I'm your ghost, Kaylin Moore. Gather around the campfire, everyone, because today I have terrifying stories from you guys. These are true scary stories that come from our community. And let me tell you, What the hell, you guys? You never cease to amaze me with the terrifying things that you all experience. And thank you, thank you, thank you for sending these stories in to me. If you have a story that you want to be read on the show, you can check out the form to submit on heartstarspounding.com. And even when I was writing this episode, I actually got a note from one of you guys, Rizzalene, that just said, "'Years ago, I was on my way home on the bus when my mom called me.
She asked where I was, and naturally, I told her that I was on the bus. Then, silence from her side. So I asked why.'" She told me that she heard me arrive home, put down my bag, and then announced that I was going upstairs. But she couldn't find me anywhere when she checked the house for me. Very, very spooky. Joining me today is my dear friend Silas from The Sinister and Creep Time, the podcast. He also brought me a story from one of his listeners that is so scary, I kind of wish he kept it to himself. I cannot wait to hear what you guys have to say about it. And just as a reminder, if you can't get enough of Dark Summer, we do have a bonus episode coming out on Patreon and Apple Podcast subscriptions tomorrow.
The High Council tier on Patreon voted on dark tourism. And I am somehow shocked and somehow also not shocked at all at what people will travel the world to do. We get into the tour companies that lead people into North Korea, the people who traveled to a war-torn area to hunt other people for sport and more. Check it out on Patreon and Apple Podcasts. And don't tell producer Matt that I told you this, but there is a free trial on both and you can listen with that. Okay, let's get into today's episode. Well, Silas, welcome to Hearts Are Pounding. Thank you for having me.
I'm so excited to be here.
Happy to finally have you on. Because we spend a lot of time together outside of Hearts Are Pounding. I know.
There's no proof of that. No photographic proof.
I know. We always forget to take pictures.
Do we forget or do you refuse?
Or am I just refusing? I'm like, I can't let people online know that I am the plus one in this situation because I never actually get invited to anything. It's always Silas gets invited and invites me. There's a couple of things I'll get invited to, but I do love being a plus one.
I mean, it feels better to turn down an event and be like, I can't.
Yeah.
That's the better position to be in.
That's so true. That's true. I get that. We have, what are we going to next? Evil Dead?
Evil Dead, yeah. I was just showing you the look for it.
Full contacts, full whiteout contacts. So by the time this airs, we will have gone and we'll have the photos of it.
Okay, I was going to say, I was like, hopefully that won't spoil a damn thing.
Yeah, but I am anticipating having to guide you around because you're going to be blind.
I definitely won't put you in a position to be like, can you be my handler? Would you mind walking down into the carpet somewhere?
I'm like pushing people out of the way. Like, I'm my client. Just look like your manager.
Can you make room? He can't see. He's blind.
He's blind. Just guiding him. I think it's going to be fun. I think it'll be great. But I'm so excited for today because we have lots of really spooky scare. I wanted this episode to be kind of like campfire tales. So we're doing a summary themed spooky stories episode. I'm really excited. And these are also all coming from you guys. It's all coming from the community. If you have a spooky story that you want to submit to maybe be read on one of these episodes, our website, HeartStarsPounding.com, has a form. You can fill that out. It helps me stay organized because people DM me stories all the time, and they just go. But a lot of spooky stuff is still happening to people in our community.
