Written below is the script read for the radio play: NARRATOR The dating pool can be kinda scary; especially when your dates are tied to shallow opinions, or when you're constantly hit by wave after wave of questionable profiles that hook you in, until you find out that you've been chasing waterfalls.

Spooky Childhood tales
A Story to be told There was an old story I was told at girls' camp when I was a teen. It was often said at the close of the night. There was this small log cabin in the woods and in it lived a man whose real name had been lost. In other variations, have him as a logger, and he chopped his legs off accidentally. which earned the same name. Anyway, he was a hermit or a cannibal. In the main one, he kidnapped a girl from a camp not too far from his place. He killed her but kept her feet as a souvenir. Which earned him the name of stumpy. He then did it to the rest of the girls camping with her. he was never caught, and his spirit is said to haunt to woods near cedar city, Utah.

Ancient Guardian Of The Sacred Blood
Turkey ridge is nestled on a long hill running through the midst of an eight mile wide bay known as The Great Labyrinth Swamp. There is a good reason why this swampy bay was referred to as a labyrinth. For some strange fact of being virtually all direction finders seem to cease in their function, many often giving opposite indications. Even the best of talented interlopers, from coon hunters and deer stalkers to surveyors, often wind up going around in circles all day and night, exiting in places far distant from indications given by their inner sense of direction; yet simultaneously eerily cheerful that they had managed to make it out back onto the hard surfaced road at long last.

Tale of the Burnt
"Some time ago when I was not so young as you but not so old as myself now I found myself outside a strange city. Surrounded by walls of decaying steel. The sounds outside this city of towers were mythical. Some spoke of litanies that could bring truth to the land. As nonsensical as this was I was ever so fond of pointless fancies and endless pursuits so I went after this psalm. I was brought under the great gray and told I would have to wander all my days. If ever I were to truly find such a beautiful tune. So here I say that this would have been great dismay if not for some fair folk who thought it best to try and wrest control of the breeze from these silly and fanciful seas. Antilles is my name and I journey for change.

The Candy Lady
Have you heard of the candy man? If you ever had a childhood, I’m pretty sure that you and your friends did the dark bathroom bit where you said a name 3-5 times. Well, there’s always a story that originally happened and somewhere down the line settings and events change until it’s a legend.

Mongolian horsehair
Lena was raised on violin lessons and no parental supervision. The basement where she dwelled had been improved with special acoustic tiles. A dehumidifier ran almost 24/7 to preserve the wood of her expensive violin, but she loved her bow most of all. Made with snow-white Mongolian horsetail hair, her mother, on one of her annual visits, had stressed the importance of maintaining the bow.

Mythical Creatures
USA mythical creatures that might be real… part three. Number one is Massachusetts Dover Demon. The Dover Demon is said to have rosy orange skin with a big head on a stick-like body, it walks on all four and has glowing eyes. It can fuse with rocks, it is clear that it is either an alien or an escaped science experiment. This is one of the only creatures to have a shade of eye shadow named after it. Number two is the Michigan Dogman. In 1887 two lumberjacks chased a dog into a corner and pocked it with a stick which then stood up on its hind legs showing that it had to be some kind of dog-man. The dogman was peaceful but the woodsmen ran in terror just the same. They describe it as a seven-foot-tall blue-eyed canine-like animal with a human torso and a fearsome howl that sounds like a human scream. Number three is the Minnesota Wendigo. The Wendigo is a human-eater that may have been cursed for an act of cannibalism while still looking somewhat normal. It is described as being gaunt to the point of emaciation, its skin pulled tightly around its protruding bones. It’s ash-gray and gives off a disturbing odor of decay and decomposition. Number four is the Mississippi Pascagoula River Alien. The carrot-headed aliens who visited a pair of night-fishermen on the Pascagoula River in a glowing egg-shaped spaceship may just have been symptoms of the witness’s hunger. Or they might have been robots; either way, they’ve not returned, having been satisfied by the experiments they conducted on the two perfectly sober men. They are five-foot robots. Number five is the Missouri Momo. Other than leaving a three-toed footprint it would be easy to mistake this hairy foul-smelling creature for somebody’s dad. Other than disturbing picnics this creature seems harmless. Local reports describe Momo as a foul-smelling hairy monster that leaves 3 toed footprints. According to witnesses, the creature seemed to have no neck and was 6-7 feet tall. Its face was hidden in a mass of hair. Number six is the Montana Shunka Warak’in. Disclaimer: this monster is real. Whether it’s a monster or not is up for debate, but a 19th-century rancher killed and mounted the wolf-like thing which had pestered local natives for generations. Today, the owner of the stuffed creature refuses to have Shunka Warak’in ( meaning “carries off dogs”) DNA tested, so what the monster truly remains a mystery. Witnesses who got a good look at Shunka Warak’in described it as being nearly black, with high shoulders and a back that sloped downward much like a hyena. Number seven is the Nebraska Alkali Lake Monster. Though some claim this monster to be a hoax designed to sell newspapers, you can’t help but feel the hoaxers got the tone just right – no magic here, just a combination of an alligator (terrifying), a rhino (dangerous), and a stench (unsavory) rolled up into one and expanded to a 100-foot length. Whatever it is it caused a big stink. The Alkali Lake Monster is described as a giant brown alligator with a rhinoceros horn on its nose and is said to be 40-100 feet long. Number eight is the Nevada Tahoe Tessie. Tessie could be a plesiosaur. Or a gigantic eel. Legend has it that the serpent-like monster lived in a cave beneath the lake. Sightings of this 80-foot-long serpent known as Tahoe Tessie continue to this day. Number nine is the New Hamshire Wood Devils/ Wood Devils of Coos county. Although wood devils more likely to scarper at an incredible pace than to attack passing humans, locals are unnerved enough by this oversized cross between an evil spirit, a meerkat, and an alien, to have come up with a reassuring alternative: maybe it is just a sasquatch. According to eyewitness reports, these sleek wood devils are so good at blending in with their surroundings that you might walk into one before you saw it. Those who claim to have seen them describe them as more than 7 feet tall and covered in grayish hair. Number ten is the New Jersey Jersey Devil. An eighteenth-century mother, frustrated that she’d fallen pregnant yet again, cursed out loud that her unborn thirteen kid would be “the devil.” Big mistake. Although born humanlike, the little guy soon mutated into the midwife-slaughtering, cattle-bothering demon we know and love today. Upon the newly born child’s sudden transformation, it grew a goat head, hooves, bat-like wings, and a barbed tail.
