On the night of the 4th of December 1998, two teenage boys were having a sleepover in a trailer in rural Hopewell, Missouri. They played games, they stayed up late, and eventually they fell asleep. In the early hours of the following morning, they woke up to the smell of smoke. It was coming from the room at the end of the hallway. Neither of them would ever forget what they found on the other side of that door. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/morbidology--3527306/support .
