The Girl At The Bar Told Me That She Was Satan, I Believed Her

A disheveled stranger sat down next to me at a London bar and claimed to be the Devil. By the time she finished telling me the truth about Hell, I believed every word.

IN THIS EPISODE: It’s the classic horror story, “The Man Who Returned” by Edmond Hamilton. Originally published in 1934, "The Man Who Returned" is an effective horror story.  Since first transmitting its sad and cynical realism from the pages of Weird Tales, it has been reprinted in numerous collections of stories from that magazine, as well as in a 1980 volume entitled “Fear! Fear! Fear!” *** I’ve pulled out what I hope you’ll agree is definitely worth the “creepy” part of creepypasta. It was found on Reddit, written by user AThousandRows. The original title of the story is “I Met Someone Who Claimed To Be The Devil... And I Believed Them.”
