Podcast: Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for HalloweenPublished On: Wed Mar 11 2026
Description: A man wakes in a freezing pasture with missing hours, a dead phone, and no idea how he got there. The Backroads Cryptid by Bruce Haney follows a disastrous party into rural Oregon, where two strangers say a creature attacked their car. Their story sounds impossible until the darkness beyond the farmhouse starts to feel occupied. This Weekly Spooky horror fiction mixes drug-fueled paranoia, isolated farmland, and a savage monster encounter. Getting home means deciding whose account to trust and whether the people offering shelter are any safer than whatever is waiting outside the door.Bonus episodes & support: https://weeklyspooky.com/joinMore scary stories: https://weeklyspooky.com/Story submissions: WeeklySpooky@gmail.com
