As this is a horror podcast, this episode might not be for everyone. This story involves a swampy dreamscape, an ancient trolley car, and a furtive yet fruitless escape from a howling motorman monster, all as part of a never-ending nightmare. If such elements are likely to disturb or offend you, you are urged to skip this episode.
Ambience for this episode is from Dream Era (Dark Ambient Hour) by Iron Cthulhu Apocalypse. Check it out, as it's pretty spooky, and if you're into that sort of thing, visit their Bandcamp. Remember, buying music from artists who list on Bandcamp ensures that the artist gets way, way more money than from the streaming services.
