This episode of "Last Podcast On The Left" features listener-submitted "spooky stories" as part of their Halloween programming. The hosts, Ben Kissel, Marcus Parks, and Henry Zebrowski, introduce the segment by sharing a brief anecdote about director David Cronenberg. The majority of the episode is dedicated to listener calls, each sharing a personal experience with the unsettling or terrifying.
The first caller, Richard, recounts a story from the 1970s about his mother and her friend being picked up by a man who turned out to be a serial killer responsible for the murders of two young girls on a mountain road. The narrative weaves a complex family connection through the killer's son and his wife, adding a layer of generational trauma to the already grim tale. Following this, Marine shares an unnerving experience of encountering a shadowy, humanoid figure at the top of the stairs in her childhood home, which she believes to be a ghost. Michael then tells a bizarre story about encountering a "baby face cat" on a dirt road with his bandmates, an event that left them deeply disturbed.
Later in the episode, Jesse recounts an accidental meeting with the son of serial killer Gary Heidnik, and Jamie shares a deeply unsettling experience in her grandmother's house that seemingly involved the ghost of her grandfather. Trey discusses his visit to the Waco compound and the disturbing stories he heard about individuals escaping the compound. Jared recounts a story about a ghost in his high school theater, and finally, a story by Jordan Spears is read about an encounter with a creature that transforms the narrator into Guy Fieri, a satirical take on the celebrity chef.
