As it gets closer, it's a green, scraggly-toothed, warty-face monster questioning, "ARE YOU SCARED?" Somehow, the boy manages to get around the monster and run back up the stairs. Before you know it, something with bright red shining eyes is coming back down the stairs. Neewollah then shows the boy a whole collection of eyeball marbles, grabs two, and runs back up the stairs. Neewollah takes his arm, ostensibly to keep him from falling, but, from the picture, he's pulling on him so hard that he's actually likely to make him fall. Neewollah *down* the stairs (apparently there is a level below the basement that wasn't previously pictured?). Apparently never having heard of child predators, the boy follows Mr. Neewollah, who offers to show him even more "interesting" things. But not so much in a scary sort of way, but in a don't-leave-the-children-alone-with-weird-Uncle-Roger-if-you-know-what-I-mean sort of way. Neewollah face-to-face, and he is indeed creepy. Once we're in the basement with the boy, we see a staircase going up, but the light is coming from up the stairs, not in the basement itself. Neewollah's basement, so he leans in to get a better look - and promptly falls through the window into the basement. The boy is so bothered that he can't fall asleep until he returns it, so he creeps out of the house at midnight to do so, the thought of which has to be rather disconcerting to parents of five- or six-year-old children. The boy pockets the marble and runs home to look at it, where he discovers that it looks like an eyeball. Neewollah" who has moved to the house next door.

At a cursory glance, the pictures appeared appropriately creepy and very well done. I liked the idea of the narrator pausing to ask if the story was getting to scary. Pick up your phone, grab your headphones, and listen to one of the best horror podcasts.if you dare.I've been searching for stories for my four- and six-year-old daughters that are exactly what the title of this story claims: scary, but not too scary. Whether you're looking for true crime, zombie stories, or old-fashioned ghost tales, there's something for everyone on this list. Ruining your night and your ability to sleep is totally up to you, but it's better to play it safe and queue up an episode during a *daytime* walk through your neighborhood or road trip to the beach before heading home to whip up a yummy cocktail with all the lights on and all the doors and windows locked. I personally don't recommend listening to any of these pods before bed (unless you're freaky like that-if so, go off). And the best way to do that, without having to change out of your swimsuit or even leave your lounge chair ofc, is throwing on a terrifying podcast that's guaranteed to scare the bikini bottoms off of you!
