Go Bump in the Night

Oreos have dyed their creams orange, people are pretending candy corn has a flavor, and snake handlers are boarding up their windows to keep out the demons. That's right, Halloween's fast approaching! And what makes Halloween '09 special (aside from your H1N1 infection) is the first annual Amateur Scientist Podcast Halloween Spooktacular. No, we won't be digging up Michael Jackson's corpse and using our voodoo magic to make it reenact "Thriller". Instead, we'll be airing ghost stories from our loyal listeners. Yes, you have an opportunity to make up your own ghost story and share it with the literally tens of dozens of people who waste half an hour every week listening to pee-pee and poo-poo jokes about UFO nuts. Excited yet? Just send your ghost stories to podcast@amateurscientist.org. We'd prefer you get off your lazy ass, plug in a microphone, and tell your story out loud. But we'll also accept text-based stories to be dramatically brought to audio life by our team of semi-professional dinner theater dabblers. Feel free to attach your audio files to an email (no spam [unless there's tits]), or if your file is too large, just let us know and we'll find a solution. Also, be sure to include your name and/or alias so you get proper credit. The spookier the better! The sexier the betterer!
