sounds of giggling children running up and down the stairs always made me smile except of course i don't have any children hello witches the new werewolf trailer has finally released and it inspired us to create an episode about tales of creatures and their lore dangerous demons creepy cryptids, crickets, and a wailing woman. We have spooky stories and nefarious narratives to send a shiver down your spine. I'm Blair Bathory, and welcome to the Something Scary Podcast. Thanks for listening and joining us as we descend into the darkness together. So, wanna hear something scary? Inner demons got you down? Lonely hearts and desperation can often cloud our judgment, meaning we make rash decisions without fully considering the consequences.
And while scammers and conmen exist in all walks of life, they are especially prevalent in the demon world, like in this story inspired by Catherine. The first time Ava saw the reel, it had only one like. It had appeared on her Instagram feed at exactly 2.28 a.m. while she was obsessively scrolling through pictures of Noah Carter, the boy she had liked for almost a year. Noah didn't know she existed, but Ava knew everything about him. His favorite coffee order, his gym schedule, the songs he reposted at 1 a.m., even the route he walked home after basketball practice. The reel itself was strange. A girl with wispy, white blonde hair that partially covered her pale face, while soft static played in the background.
A distorted feminine voice whispered,
Want your crush to fall hopelessly in love with you? Summon the cupid ghost. One ritual, one sacrifice. Eternal devotion.
The comments were disabled. The account had no profile picture, no post, no followers, only one username, at hiddenheart444. Ava should have ignored it, but sometimes, especially in the middle of the night, the heart makes foolish choices the head would never agree during the daylight. And so she sent a DM. At first, there was no response. Then the typing bubble appeared. Stopped. Appeared again. Finally, a message came through. How bad do you want him? Ava stared at the screen. More than anything else. Again, the bubbles thinned. and you're willing to do whatever it takes to have him? Ava didn't even pause before replying. Yes, anything. The account immediately replied with instructions. The ritual had to happen at exactly 3 a.m.
All lights off, windows closed, doors locked, candles placed in a perfect circle, and most importantly, you cannot perform the ritual alone. Ava smirked. There was one person she could call, someone pathetic enough to drop everything and come over in the middle of the night. A clingy friend she secretly couldn't stand anymore, Lena. 20 minutes later, Lena arrived wearing pajamas and holding snacks. You seriously made me come over at almost three in the morning for this? She laughed nervously. It's just a game from Instagram, Ava said casually. Relax, we might go viral. That made Lena smile, but it faded the moment she entered Ava's room. Every curtain was shut tightly, no light from anywhere except the candles that flickered across the floor.
And in the center of the bedroom, Ava had drawn a large black circle using charcoal. Okay, Lena said, her voice low and weary. This is actually creepy. Ava forced a laugh. It's for aesthetics. Outside, thunder rumbled softly. The clock pinged. It was exactly 3 a.m. Ava and Lena sat inside the circle holding hands, Lena's phone videoing. The candle flames suddenly leaned sideways as if someone invisible had entered the room. Ava swallowed hard and began reading the summoning phrase from her phone. By candlelight and hidden face, bring the lonely to this place. Nothing happened. Lena laughed shakily. See? Fake. Scoffed Ava, simultaneously relieved and disappointed. Then all the candles went out at once. Darkness swallowed the room.
Lena screamed. A second later... The front doorbell rang downstairs. Both girls froze. Someone or something was outside Ava's house at 3 a.m. in the pouring rain. This isn't funny, Lena whimpered. I'll go check, Ava muttered, trying to sound calm.
