THE BLOOD BATS OF GANTZ PARK (Part 1): A Grove City Halloween Story| #MicroTerrors Oct 24, 2026

Show notes

On Halloween night in Grove City, Ohio, Lucy Buxton's dad drives her and Shawn Dyer to Gantz Park with two flashlights and a thirty-minute limit, so they can look for the Blood Bats, which legend says come out only on this one night of the year and trace back to Archibald Rhysand, a Union soldier who was rumored to eat bats on the battlefield. Two teenage boys got to the park first that night, with a pair of pumpkins and a handful of firecrackers, and their car is still sitting in the lot.

Micro Terrors: Scary Stories for Kids™, 2026#MicroTerrors #WeirdDarkness
This MicroTerrors episode is a Halloween scary story for kids about a werewolf stalking Grove City, Ohio, written by Scott Donnelly and narrated by Darren Marlar, with real Grove City shops and shopkeepers written into the plot. It opens in Andrea Cordle's backyard, where the Grove City Messenger writer is brushing off a caller's push for a werewolf article when a howl rises from the tree line and something large gallops after her to the back door. From there it follows Sean Dyer, a homesick boy dropped off with his Uncle Curtis and Aunt Jade for Halloween weekend while his parents close on a new house in North Carolina; the town is under a sundown curfew that no adult will explain, and a police officer sends Sean and his uncle home from Tammy's Pizza on Broadway before dark. The next morning the TV news reports that a beast crashed through the front window of Skylark's Toys and Comics and attacked owner Darren Neff, and at the Grove City Visitor Center, Teresa Breckenridge quietly tells Sean that people all over town have seen a giant wolf walking upright on two legs. By Sunday a second attack has made the news, police are urging everyone to stay indoors, and Sean takes a fifty-dollar job helping Reese, the friendly neighbor with a dog named Bongo, clear out his cluttered attic.

Gwen Archer's new house has crooked shutters, cracked windows, and dozens of bent nails in her bedroom wall where the girl who lived there before hung her paintings and photos.

Three MicroTerrors listeners wrote in with their own scary stories: a girl who sneaks out at night to see the T-Rex every parent in town warns about, a free doll on the sidewalk that introduces itself as Mr. Stevenson, and a family cruise with nothing but one-star reviews and something big moving under the boat.

LISTENER TERRORS: “Too Perfect”, “The Dead Night”, “The Strange Light” Sep 05, 2026

Show notes

Three Micro Terrors listeners, ages seven to twelve, wrote this week's stories: a boy wakes up on the first morning of spring break to a kitchen that's a little too tidy and birds that chirp right on cue; a puddle of red slime shows up beside a dinner chair just before bedtime; and two brothers spot a strange light on long pole legs on the walk home from school… and then it starts moving.
