this is the craziest story I've heard from this podcast and I love it
Welcome back to the most scariest place on the East Coast. Marylanders know where to go and where not to. Maryland is known for three things it's the city that Breeds, and bleeds.
If* you see it- No you didn't. walk as normal. Do not run. Briskly walk to a public place. No places like that where you live? Then get home or to a friend's. Don't look back.
Fantastic creepy/horror story podcast Rodney has a very relaxing style with dry humour perfect to unwind to ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I know I haven't listened for too long, but I enjoy your show. It's sad that you don't keep up with the schedule you say, hopefully everything is is going good in your life and this is just a break that I am not aware of. I truly appreciate your stories m
"The shit you just heard, yeah I didn't write that". If he ain't from Maryland I'd be a S.O.B.
This is one of my favorite accounts (I don't like calling them stories when someone claims they lived through it.) When it said a hand came down from on top the porch or whatever trying to grab the son. I got chills.
Matthew 18:6-7 NIV [6] “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. [7] Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come! This story is nothing more than a means to intentionally lead people to hell by rejecting the Savior.
Fool's Fire sounds just like Will-O-Wisps. seems every culture has their own name, but the description is always the same.
Whoa! crazy! I'm from by the OK panhandle and grew up with people that have the last name, Barnes!!
Great show, but the Carl's junior ad is so annoying. I know that you can skip it, but still.
Love this podcast. I love the stories, the way Rodney tells them and his sprinkling of humour. Well done!
What about the dead neighbor?
As someone who grew up in Flagstaff, and always admired the Monte Vista Hotel, I love the blend of local legends and the original story the podcast wrote!
what are the music credits this episode?
,⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Podcast , 👍
Hi Run Fool team, I always enjoy your stories but this one is one of my favourites. Thank you for all your hard work!
Wow one of the best stories yet!
You tell a Hella good story!
I really enjoyed The Montauk project, it really was told very well! I don’t know why there are not more comments because Rodney is very well spoken with these stories!
