Mini Episode: Scary Story "Sifty-Sifty-San"

February 17, 2022 • Season 1 • Episode 23

When the owner of a haunted house goes looking for someone to banish the spirit that lives there, she's delighted to hire Sam. Sam doesn't take much of life seriously, and he's not too concerned about spending a night in the beautiful house on the hill. In fact, he's pretty sure this will be the easiest job he's ever taken! That is, until the wind starts to rip through the trees, the lake begins to churn, and the house rumbles all around him as Sifty-Sifty-San draws near.

"Sifty-Sifty-San" was directed and audio designed by Becky McLaughlin and features the voice talents of Sarah Thompson as the Owner of the House, Chris Cohen as Sam and Greg Vogelsmeier as Sifty-Sifty-San. Caitlin Stafford is the voice of Grimalkin who narrated this story. Theme music by Ken Ashford with sounds from Zapsplat.com.
