Talking Scared Off Book #5 – Halloween Special – Kaelyn Moore & Heart Starts Pounding
Halloween has finally arrived. I’m marking it in grim, macabre style.
For this Off Book Samhain Special, I’m joined by Kaelyn Moore, host and creator of Heart Starts Pounding – a podcast for the darkly curious, which offers up a new true-story of horror, hauntings and mystery every week.
Kaelyn is a treasure trove of haunted anecdote and freaky facts. We only touch the tip of her knowledge in this conversation, but still manage to cover the grimmest deaths at Disneyland, a South American Nazi cult, the most cursed book in history and Kaelyn’s own family history with an early American serial killer.
All that, plus a lot of recommendations for movies and the gruesome true-crime reading.
Stick around for the afterword, and plenty of updates on the future of Talking Scared,
Enjoy! Happy Halloween.
