Episode Details

Good evening, it's Spooky Boo Rhodes here with another episode of the creepy and the weird. Tonight in Sandcastle it is unusually cold and I think it is a little more than Mother Nature. The witches are out trying to make it rain for we really need it in California. They're out every night with their spells. The churches are praying. The monsters are begging. Monsters drink a lot of water, especially the big ones.Tonight I have for you some spooky, scary stories about blobs. What are blobs? Just blobs! Sentient substances we know nothing about.

April should be heating up in Sandcastle, but this year the frigid air from up north is somehow assailing our small coastal town. Usually, with the fog coming in, there is a warm wet blanket of air surrounding us. Still cold, but not frigid cold. The fog has been absent the past few nights.That's why I noticed it--the blob. As I watched from the lighthouse window after the show, I noticed this dark mass of nothingness slither onto the beach from the waves. At first, I thought it might be a small whale or even a large patch of seaweed stranded in the sand from the incoming surf or maybe the high tide from the night before but then I remembered I had been out on the beach earlier that day and it wasn't there.I turned off the lights in the lighthouse and lit a candle so I could see better outside and nothing could see in. As I watched, the blob slowly moved up the shore closer to the hillside. Inch by inch it stuck one small gelatinous arm out after the other. Arm? They weren't arms. They were more like appendages of things. Everything! From garbage and seaweed to dead fish and driftwood. As it passed, a sickly smell covered the area. My windows were closed and I could still smell the stench of decay passing by.In the dim moonlight, I could still see it getting closer to cliff then I noticed the couple laying there moonbathing. Why anyone would layout in the sand almost naked in the freezing cold was beyond me, but people do weird things here in Sandcastle. I opened the window a little and screamed at them to run! I yelled as loud as I could but they must have been sleeping or had headphones on because my cries of emergency did nothing. I dialed 9-1-1 and yelled into the phone that something was on the beach ready to devour some people. At first, they just laughed and asked if I was recording for the show, but I begged them to listen, but it was too late. The oily blob of garbage had reached its destination for dinner.As I screamed at the people laying there, it stopped and I think looked in my direction then continued to slither up the legs of the slumbering couple. It started up the feet, slowly taking its time to crawl up the legs then the screaming started.The woman screamed first, "HELP! It burns!" she looked over to her lover, shaking him on the shoulders. She tried to stand but stumbled on only her ankle bones. Her feet were gone. Bones and all.I watched in horror as it seemed to eat her flesh into its own body. Not with a mouth or teeth, but simply quickly digesting the pieces with its touch and sucking them in. I snatched a lighter from the cabinet and as I ran down the stairs I grabbed the bottle of lighter fluid from the BBQ pit. I wasn't going to wait for t
