About this episode
We didn't get baby-faced Jared Leto in for this one but we still managed to trudge through some of the spookiest and truest urban legends out there. We cover everything from Bloody Mary to the Carnival Corpse.  Also, I know it was by REM and not Dave Matthews Band. Trust me, you'll get it.
