    Hounded - Classic

    Some roads are long and some roads wind. Some roads show you things you’d never think you’d find…

    Demon Dog

    Chuck and his family rent a cabin in the mountains every winter. One year he and his uncle are driving into town when they see something with red eyes chasing their truck: a huge, menacing wolf-like creature. When he’s older, he learns this creature has a name: The Demon Dog.

    This is the second story Chuck has graciously shared with Spooked. If you want to hear Chuck tell another spine-chilling story set in the mountains, listen to the Spooked Dismal Falls episode.

    Produced by Greta Weber and Chris Hambrick, original score by Yari Bundy.

    Thank you, Shirley, for sharing your story with Spooked!
