MYX In The Dark: True Scary Stories
Hello and welcome to MYX In The Dark! This podcast is based around true scary stories and experiences. A majority of these stories are from the Hmong community and told in English. Because these stories allude to Hmong superstitions and culture, some of the episodes are educational and may include additional background information for context. I welcome stories from different cultures and ethnicities of people! If you have a chilling story to tell, please share it with me. Enjoy! -Maiyang
