    The Scarecast Files #11: It's A Small World After All

    The Scarecast Files #11: It's A Small World After All

    Back in 1966, Disneyland debuted their new attraction, It’s A Small World which boasted over 240 animatronics and an unforgettable soundtrack that surely would leave a tune running in your head for a long time. The ride was made for the kids, who would be overloaded with all these cute dolls singing to them as they ride in their little boats in amaze. But for some, these little dolls can become quite creepy. Almost as if the dolls have trapped souls in them, there have been eerie reports that even after the ride is shut down and closed, the dolls can still be heard singing in the dead of night. Have you experienced anything?

Allegedly, the boyfriend discovered that his girlfriend cheated on him with another male coworker,, leading to a violent outburst where he used a box cutter to fatally wound them both before taking his own life by slashing his wrists and carotid artery. It's said that the spirits of all three individuals now haunt the premises.
    As reports of strange phenomena continued to mount, even after the store turned into the big K-Mart I know it is as today… K-Mart #7625… Kmart headquarters in Michigan received word of the unsettling events, and were spooked… prompting them to engage paranormal investigators to delve into the matter.

My go-to horror podcast!!

This podcast is sooo fun! When ever I'm in the mood to be spooked, I hit up The Scarecast - and it never disappoints! The narration is clear and interesting to listen to, especially with the unique accent which makes it even more fun. Music is artfully chosen and creeps you out without being obvious. At times I had to pause the podcast because I thought I heard a creepy sound in my own house! This is how you know it's a good spook. I've tried other horror podcasts and this is the best for sure. Now I recommed it to anyone who's into horror, or even those who don't know they are yet ;) I am so glad my friend shared it with me and am always looking forward to new episodes !
