Many of us look forward to spring break as our first vacation of the new year, when we can be free from school and work. But when we're visiting new places, or have our guard down to relax, THAT is the moment chaos strikes. So stay vigilant and be on the lookout for ghosts in strange places, or entities that will take advantage of your vacay-mode.

So many of us love to curl up in the safety of our own home while we read a scary book or watch a horror movie. But we only enjoy that because those terrible things aren't happening to us.

So often in life we aren't content with just having a roof over our heads and food on the table. We always seem to strive for more: better jobs, lots of money and true love. While sometimes the ambition for these things motivate us to work harder, sometimes these desires turn deadly. When we become obsessed with having more and taking more, we'll stop at nothing to get exactly what we want, no matter who gets hurt in the process.     First, killer love Followed by revenge of the grieving  Then, the deadly price of beauty  Finally in our featured story, a dark secret with a terrible end Thanks to our sponsors! • Go to Zocdoc.com/SCARY and download the Zocdoc app for FREE More about the show! • Go to SomethingScary.com to check out our cool new merch shop and get discounts all month long. • Do you want to connect with other people who love horror and all things Something Scary?

They say youth is wasted on the young. As a teen, you have all the energy and potential to be, do, and have whatever you can dream. But when dealing with school, college applications, social media followers and dating, being a teenager can be a nightmare.

 It's St. Patrick's day this week. A day that commemorates the Saint and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. It celebrates the Irish luck that people feel because of the occasion. And while many of us count our blessings, and have moments of feeling lucky, there are those who seem absolutely cursed. Some people just can't catch a break, and suffer through with a string of terrible luck. Is it just a coincidence? Or was something done to anger the spirits?

Whether you communicate via text, email or phone, there are endless possibilities to communicate with one another, but sometimes it’s the things that aren't said out loud, that are the most important.

We all respect healthcare workers and those who work to heal the afflicted. But a job that intense must be difficult to leave it at work and not take things personally.

We all know the places that you cannot go, or that are off limits. Sometimes we’re deterred by parents or trusted adults. Sometimes we hear urban legends and horror stories that warn us of certain locations that are dangerous and harmful. But sometimes… It's the danger that draws us in. The opportunity to be the explorer, the adventurous one who will go where no one else dares. And sometimes, trespassing in those places, will for sure get you killed.   First, a longing that kills you Followed by a graveyard tale Then, scratches in the basement  Finally in our featured story, a beast hiding in plain sight  More about the show! • Go to SomethingScary.com to check out our cool new merch shop and get discounts all month long. • Do you want to connect with other people who love horror and all things Something Scary?

After the holidays, some of us are happy to have a break from family. We may even enjoy some time all alone in the middle of nowhere.

The holidays are officially over and we're all getting back to our old routines. But still with us from the holidays are all of the gifts and toys we may have received. Some of our presents turn into our most prized possessions. Others get buried under clutter in our closets. But many objects can take on a life of their own. And if that trinket or toy doesn't like the way it's being treated, it will find a way to take revenge and get back at you.

So many of us go into the new year with a positive attitude, hope, and lots of resolutions. We make the choice to be better human beings who are kinder to one another. But we all have our inner demons. Good intentions for a fresh start can quickly turn into laziness, resentment, and even seeking revenge for those who have wronged you. And when those inner demons are uncaged, there’s no telling the damage you cause.  First, a mothers biggest fear Followed by dark secrets buried Then, who’s the real victim Finally in our featured story, a South African cryptid legend Thanks to our sponsors! • To match with a licensed therapist today, go to Talkspace.com, and use the code SCARY to get $100 off of your first month and show your support for the show.
