The first story in the episode is based on a real life scenario, though dramatized here, about the hotel and restaurant I ran in South America after living there for over a year. The mannequin, quirky owner, and lots of other similarities actually existed.
In this episode, I was also happy to test out some new sound design ideas that gives eerie sound effects to the story thanks to a huge sponsor to the show, BetterHelp. Find out more over at BetterHelp.com/ScaryStory to get your discount and start taking care of your mental health.
