From haunted doors to haunted castles, this urban legends episode is sure to have SOMETHING that would scare a child version of yourself (or an adult version, who are we to judge!). Also ghost sharks, dub-step hating ghosts, and spooky text message alerts.
Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about or mentions of death, vomiting, violence, creepy dolls, accidental death, and sharks.
