Episode 13 - The Demon Hunter’s Handbook

I recently found a mysterious book in my library that I'd never seen before. It's called The Demon Hunter's Handbook and it was written by a cat named Abelard Van Helsing. Although I don't recall applying for or accepting such a job, and I'm not sure how the HR department slid this handbook onto my home bookshelf, I read it anyway. And now wish I hadn't. Because apparently, if you're physically able to read it, then it's your job to fight the forces of Hell. Gonna be honest, the job does not sound lit. Wanna take the position? Listen to what the handbook says and decide!

In 1996, Texas journalist Brian Bethel encountered two children who demanded to be let inside his car.

After sharing his story, similar tales from people who were approached by Black Eyed Kids began to fill the internet. Are BEKs simply an urban legend? Or are they supernatural beings that need permission to be let inside before they can do their damage? Listen and let me know what you think!
