Show notes

Christmas is supposed to be warm, cozy, and safe... but these true scary stories prove that the holidays can hide horrors you'd never expect.

In this episode, you’ll hear three real-life Christmas tales of terror:
• A young man sleeping on the couch is jolted awake by a terrifyingly vivid dream...
• A first visit to a girlfriend’s family turns unsettling when it becomes clear something is happening behind closed doors...
• An events worker witnesses a holiday party that she’ll never be able to forget.

These true disturbing stories are perfect for listening alone on a cold winter night.
