Welcome to episode nine of The Accursed, a haunting podcast spun of ink and shadow.

In today's episode, the stories begin to hit a little closer to home than one might like. The first story is another tale of the lake and the horrors that linger in its depths. The second tale takes us through a haunted hotel...and tells the story referenced in the bonus story.

Content Warnings: childhood trauma, haunting imagery, supernatural elements, parental neglect.
