Basket Hound: Weird West Horror Story About a Soul-Stealing Stranger
Episode 18
Published 5 years, 11 months ago
Description
Weird West horror, Old West horror, supernatural horror, soul-stealing terror, and darkly funny monster fiction come together in this unforgettable episode of Weekly Spooky. Orel Hamlin spends his nights emptying spittoons at the Stone House saloon, living a hard but simple life under the watch of Mr. Teevins. Then, out in the dark behind the saloon, he meets a stranger named George Malcolm — a drifter with a bad smile, a salesman’s pitch, and something inside him that no human being should carry.
What starts as a late-night encounter in a dusty frontier town turns into a grotesque and eerie nightmare involving cursed deals, stolen souls, devils, body horror, and one of the nastiest supernatural con men you’ll ever meet. But this isn’t just a creepy tale of evil wandering into town. It’s also a story about an underestimated young man, a vicious midnight showdown, and the kind of strange frontier horror that feels grimy, funny, and genuinely dangerous.
If you love Weird West stories, horror westerns, occult fiction, saloon horror, demon bargains, bizarre monsters, and horror podcast fiction, this one hits that perfect sweet spot between pulpy fun and full-on nightmare fuel. There are whispering souls, a one-eyed bartender, a haunted drifter, and one very memorable “basket hound” moment you will not forget.
Step into the saloon, mind the spittoons, and don’t trust any traveler who smiles like he already knows what your soul is worth.
