Synopsis[]
It is the annual Night Vale ghost story contest, in which every citizen is required to put forward their scariest ghost story.
Plot Developments[]
- Time travel: Cecil says that time travel is real during Children's Fun Fact Science Corner.
- Russian: while trying to communicate with the ghost of Marcus Vanston's French-speaking cat, Teddy Williams concludes that although he doesn't speak French he has a Russian dictionary and because the two languages are both so dissimilar to English, they have to be similar to each other.
- Cecil's mother: it is revealed that she disappeared when Cecil was fourteen forcing Abby to raise him on her own, that she returned many years later and died a few months after that, and that she was mentally ill as well as addicted to alcohol.
- Intern Death Toll: Intern Jeffrey Cranor tells Cecil about his predecessor, intern Felix, who died after opening a fridge which had an active jet engine from an Airbus 8320 inside.

Trivia[]
Dana and Sheriff Sam tell the same ghost story, but because both their appearances are included as bonus tracks, it may be assumed they appeared on stage during separate performances.
