Speaker 7: packages dealing with Salem and they're witches, right, But what
Speaker 7: if I track down some of these super old folklore
Speaker 7: legends up in rural New England. Like, dearest sister, I

Speaker 4: The picket fence, the mortgage, the property, taxes.
Speaker 6: That's not for me, Sarah.

Speaker 9: our town tow truck, so you're mighty lucky. I'm not
Speaker 9: out of town like Buster is.
Speaker 4: Seriously, thank you.
Speaker 9: What happened?
Speaker 7: I almost got demolished by a deer about ten miles back,
Speaker 7: and then the rain started, so I was on full alert,
Speaker 7: which is why I think I must have overcompensated when
Speaker 7: I thought I saw another deer but wasn't a deer
Speaker 7: because I don't think so. And then my sister, oh shit,
Speaker 7: I couldn't understand anything she was She missed think do
Speaker 7: you have a cell phone?
Speaker 9: Yes? And no?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 9: Yes? I have one, but as I believe you've experienced.
Speaker 9: There's only one cell tower and it covers town center,
Speaker 9: about twenty miles west to here, and currently it's out
Speaker 9: of order.
Speaker 7: Fuck, I'm sorry, it's just that I think she was
Speaker 7: trying to tell me something about my mother.
Speaker 4: Shit, I'm sorry, I don't mean to.
Speaker 9: I'll tell you what. By the looks of this axle,
Speaker 9: you came pretty close to having to be airlifted to Manchester.

Speaker 9: bad huh h Germans, bad tires, good seatbelts, whatever deer
Speaker 9: you saw, it was you a few grand easy, great,
Speaker 9: And there's more good news and bad.
Speaker 4: News, awesome, bad news.
Speaker 9: First always, this is fixable, but only Buster can fix this.
Speaker 9: And as I mentioned, he's out of town, so I
Speaker 9: can toe this to his shop, but he'll be back tomorrow.
Speaker 9: And depending on the parts, you or your car may
Speaker 9: be stuck here for a few days.
Speaker 4: No car, no phone, no home. How is there any
Speaker 4: possibility of good news?
Speaker 9: Well, this is what one would call country hospitality. You're
Speaker 9: welcome to come use the landline in my house, our

Speaker 3: You can't talk to them like that? And I understand, Boss,
Speaker 3: kid gloves this whole woke generation totally. One complain to
Speaker 3: their parents and they'll see our pants off.

Speaker 7: Tuesday, October eleventh, twenty twenty one, No twenty two. This
Speaker 7: is Sarah Simmons and this is audio blog entry four
Speaker 7: thirty seven, or as I like to call it, how
Speaker 7: many days since my last job? So last we heard
Speaker 7: from our intrepid explorer, that's me. She had been gallivanting
Speaker 7: up in the frozen tundra of Stratham in search of
Speaker 7: the supposed succubi that has haunted the town for decades. Ough,
Speaker 7: intrepid who is your audience?
Speaker 6: Here?
Speaker 4: Simmons? Fancy charted, Okay, okay, you got this? What Hello?
Speaker 4: One more time?
Speaker 7: Back to the succubiss shortly, but on the seventh day,
Speaker 7: something unexpected happened.
Speaker 4: After crashing my car and according.
Speaker 7: To the local who came to my rescue, narrowly escaping
Speaker 7: brutal injury. I found myself stranded in a small town,
Speaker 7: or rather on the outskirts of a small town, with
Speaker 7: no reception.
Speaker 4: No car, and nowhere to go.
Speaker 7: I had little choice but to accept an offer to
Speaker 7: stay in what feels like the oldest and least insulated
Speaker 7: home ever built.
Speaker 4: Wow, what as if on you you could.
Speaker 7: Sleep in a life sized block of Swiss cheese and
Speaker 7: it would be less breezy? I mean, who made it
Speaker 7: part of the New England way of life that we
Speaker 7: had to be as cold and wet as possible in
Speaker 7: the winter in order to appreciate the fourteen days of
Speaker 7: perfect weather in April. It's October eleventh and I'm wearing
Speaker 7: two sweaters to bed. Oh shit, I did it again, Sarah.
Speaker 7: Stop going off topic. Stop living in a dream world. Sarah,
Speaker 7: find a husband, a job, of a house.
Speaker 4: Be more like me, Sarah, be like shit, the wind
Speaker 4: just blew the outdawn window open.
Speaker 6: What the.
