Greetings, friend.

And welcome to a chilling Mother's Day collaboration podcast.

I'm your guide, Shane Waters from the Fowl Playcrime Series podcast.

And together we'll be delving into the shadows of Motherhood on this eerie adventure.

Thirteen skilled podcasters will join us as we explore the darker side of true crime stories.

Each with an unsettling connection to Motherhood.

Before we embark on our haunting journey, although Mother's Day is typically a time to

honor the love and sacrifices of mothers, today we'll be exploring the twisted tales that

lurk behind the scenes.

As we explore these chilling stories, let's not forget that the role of a mother often

embodies the ideas of protection and nourishment, of guiding and nurturing their children through

life's challenges.

However, as we'll discover, that's not always the case.

Sometimes, even in relationships that once flourished with happiness and warmth, things

can take a dark turn, causing everything to fall apart and crumble.

It's a sobering reminder that the complexity of human relationships and the depths of the

human psyche can lead to unpredictable and devastating outcomes.

Now, let's begin our sinister journey.

Our adventure starts in an abandoned garden where overgrown vegetation cast dark shadows

in a chilling wind whispers secrets through the trees.
