The Man on the Moon

Scary Stories
About this episode
What if your child's night terrors were more than just nightmares? In 2013, a mother’s quiet life turned into a series of chilling encounters that would leave her questioning everything. Shadowy figures watching over her son to a sinister "man on the moon" urging him to do unspeakable things. Even after a priest’s blessing seemed to quiet the chaos, echoes of the haunting returned in an unexpected way years later. Could it all be connected?
