Hounded

Some roads are long and some roads wind. Some roads show you things you’d never think you’d find… Story 1: Demon Dog Chuck and his family rent a cabin in the mountains every winter. One year he and his uncle are driving into town when they see something with red eyes chasing their truck: a huge, menacing wolf-like creature. When he’s older, he learns this creature has a name: The Demon Dog. This is the second story Chuck has graciously shared with Spooked. If you want to hear Chuck tell another spine-chilling story set in the mountains, listen to the Spooked Dismal Falls episode. Produced by Greta Weber and Chris Hambrick, original score by Yari Bundy Story 2: Deception Pass Shirley is a trucker. She gets sent out on a job and is given a tight deadline in bad weather. During the course of her four-day trip, her life is saved twice on the exact same stretch of highway. But by who? Thank you, Shirley, for sharing your story with Spooked!
