Happy New Year! Welcome to 2025! Dan starts us with  a very, very strange story set in Brazil in 1966 that sure reeks of an alien abduction. Then, we explore what seems to be an intensely haunted inn in Ashland, Massachusetts’: Stone’s Public House. Lynze brings us a classic-ish Hat Man tale followed up by a very peculiar hitchhiker story!

Through our fence, breakthrough thou not… we are protected though we may be frightened. Our life you may not steal, though we may feel SCARED TO DEATH."
