  • The Watcher - Classic
    Jul 11 2025

    There are times when you are supposedly all alone. And then you see her, him or it out of the corner of your eye... watching.

    STORIES

    "The Night Mother"
    It’s the middle of the night. You’re not even 15, and you’re home alone with your little brother. You’re waiting for your mom to come home. What would happen if she didn’t make it?

    "Voice In The Woods"
    When the voice says "Stop" you stay perfectly still. And when the voice says "Run!" you had better run.

    This is the first episode of Spooked ever! These stories were produced by Eliza Smith and the ghostbusters at Snap Judgment. Original music by Renzo Gorrio, Leon Morimoto, and Pat Mesiti-Miller. Artwork by Teo Ducot.

    Thank you, Catherine, for telling us your terrifying tale!
