    Nightmare Fuel #19: Unknown Caller
    Nov 1 2024

    In this nineteenth installment of fictional horror written and narrated by Dan Cummins.... we head to New Orleans, where a man is found in dead in his home that he had boarded up in the final days of his life. He'd also smashed his phones and TV and posted sticky notes all over the walls, many of them centered on being tormented by something that was calling him on the phone. And then the phone of one of the paramedics declaring the man dead starts to ring. An unknown caller. The first of many, many, many calls from this increasingly disturbing unknown caller...

    This episode was scored by Logan Keith. We recommend listening with headphones to experience the full effect of all the creepy background noises! If you like this episode, please let us know wherever you rate and review podcasts. Thanks so much!

    LAST CALL! LIVE SHOW THIS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24TH! GET YOUR TICKETS!

    Today, we visit what might very well be the most important haunted house in modern human history and maybe even the origin story of ouija boards in Dan's first story. A fun, historical haunt. Then, we are off to Warren Air Force Base, the oldest continuously active military installation within the Air Force for a second story. Then Lynze has a tale that takes to Boy Scouts Camp and a disembodied voice calling out to the void. Lastly, the very peculiar tale that should leave every parent and child a little bit worried about sleepovers.
