Heather and I decided to do something a little different—and a lot creepier. We scoured Reddit for the scariest mom stories we could find and brought them to life with spooky sound effects and Halloween vibes.
Are these stories true? Who knows. Are they terrifying? Absolutely.
Grab your favorite halloween drink, lock the doors, and prepare to be freaked out.
🎃 You’ve been warned.
