They did everything together, on stage and off. Until one night after a performance, a pale stranger with creepy blue eyes approached them.<br \/>\nThat stranger was a vampire.<\/p>\n<p>What follows is a nightmare of love, violence, and desperation. After a brutal fight, Margaret is bitten and begins turning. Henry does the only thing he can think of to keep her alive: he locks her in the basement and starts feeding her. First his own blood. Then animals. Then\u2026 homeless people he lures into their home.<br \/>\nHe became her monster. She became something neither of them could bear. The guilt eventually destroyed them both.<br \/>\nIn the end, out of pure love, Henry does the one thing she begs him to do \u2014 the final act that ends her suffering.<br \/>\nThis story is raw, tragic, sickening, and strangely romantic all at the same time. I had to stop recording several times because it got so heavy. It\u2019s not your typical haunted house tale. This one cuts deep.<\/p>\n<p>Listener discretion is VERY strongly advised. This episode contains extreme violence, murder, cannibalism, and heavy emotional content.<br \/>\nIf you like your horror stories dark, emotional, and completely messed up, this is one you won\u2019t forget.<br \/>\nGot your own true scary story? Submit it at www.scarystorytime.com \u2014 I might tell yours next.<br \/>\nTurn the lights low\u2026 but maybe keep the garlic handy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[spreaker type=player title=&#8221;He Fed Her Human Meat&#8221; resource=&#8221;episode_id=71663510&#8243; width=&#8221;800px&#8221; height=&#8221;600px&#8221; theme=&#8221;dark&#8221; playlist=&#8221;show&#8221; playlist-continuous=&#8221;true&#8221; chapters-image=&#8221;true&#8221; episode-image-position=&#8221;right&#8221; hide-logo=&#8221;false&#8221; hide-likes=&#8221;false&#8221; hide-comments=&#8221;false&#8221; hide-sharing=&#8221;false&#8221; hide-download=&#8221;true&#8221; color=&#8221;9900ef&#8221;] This is one of the darkest, most heartbreaking stories I\u2019ve ever read.
