The Mysterious Moist Ghost, Part One
Fictional stories can be scary, that’s for sure--but what about a real-life ghost right across the street? In this episode, we’ll hear Part One of the Mysterious Moist Ghost that terrorized my parents in their new home.
A Medium article was mentioned in the episode, but to avoid spoiling the rest of the story, that article won’t be posted until next week when Part Two airs! Don’t worry, though--I won’t leave you hanging. For photos of the ghostly puddles, check out the podcast Instagram @horrorhumorhungerpodcast 👻
