174. Reddit Scary Stories: Stalkers, Setups, and a Serial Killer (feat. Psychopedia)

About this episode

Slater and a guest read and discuss Reddit scary stories involving dangerous encounters.

Today. Slater and I are reading Reddit scary stories about close encounters with people who were not who they said they were. A man offers a woman her dream job, but the company doesn't exist!? A friendly neighbor starts knowing things he was never told. A first date takes a deliberate detour. And a hitchhiker carrying a small child through a Montana blizzard may have been one of the most dangerous predators in American history.
