Hey Mom! Mboy and I investigated spooky happenings in town. Visited haunted castle, met bunch of worried pets, found out about strange voices & orbs at Black Bulldog Bay. We’re fine and helped bring peace back! Inseparable duo as always, ❤️ Mal

Listen to the story here.

It was a peculiar day in Spencerville, as if something unusual was lingering in the air. As Malchik and I roamed through the winding streets of our charming little town, we couldn’t help but notice the townfolk’s nervous chitchat about the unsettling events occurring in our otherwise peaceful haven. Being an ever-curious pair, we decided it was high time we investigated these mysteries ourselves. After all, who better to lead such a charge than me and my dependable, 174-pound German Shepherd and Cane Corso mix, Malchik?

Our first stop was North Chihuahua Castle, an ancient pet sanctuary that had belonged to the grand dukes of Spencerville long ago, according to legend. Rumor had it that every night, once the castle gates creaked shut and the lichen-covered stones were bathed in shadows, strange voices and phantom footsteps echoed through the hollow corridors. If we were going to get to the bottom of anything, it was probably best to start with such an eerie phenomenon.

Armed with only our bravery – and Malchik’s squeaky Lambchop, of course – we arrived at the deserted castle just as twilight began to settle. Perhaps it was unintelligent of us to abandon daylight’s comfort, but with Malchik’s protective instincts by my side, I felt oddly reassured.

We tiptoed our way through the drafty castle, the feeling of unease growing heavy in the atmosphere. Just as we were about to lose all hope of encountering anything, we heard the unmistakable sound of muffled voices echoing through the chambers. Gasping, we followed the source of the sound, only to discover a hidden door concealed beneath a tapestry depicting loyal, ancient canines guarding the Spencerville monarchs.

Easing the door open, we stepped into a dim room, where we were met with the sight of a large assembly of pets, all gathered around a stone slab table, chattering animatedly. By the look on their faces, it was clear that something was amiss.

“Ah, Kahkseh!” Malchik barked as he spotted his sister. “We’ve come to see what all the fuss is about.”

Kahkseh glanced over at us, concern etched on her face. “Oh, Malchik, it’s dreadful! And we don’t know what to do. You see, every time night falls, upper Black Bulldog Bay appears to be haunted! Disembodied voices and unusual glowing orbs torment the inhabitants, leaving us all on edge.”

Well, that explained the nervous whispers and troubled glances we’d been noticing in town. If anything was going to keep us awake at night, it was certainly going to be a bit of paranormal activity in our beloved Spencerville.

“Never fear,” I declared. “Malchik and I will get to the bottom of this!”

Our newfound determination sparked a renewed energy, and we set off to uncover the truth, leaving no stone unturned in our beloved Spencerville. In the end, the real joy was in the journey, and the strengthened bonds formed among the multitude of pets who shared a mutual love for our quaint town.

As the days turned to weeks, and then to months, Spencerville gradually returned to its cheerful, bustling self. The mysteries we uncovered were strange, bewildering, and sometimes even supernatural – but with Malchik by our side, nothing proved insurmountable. After all, what are a few glowing orbs and phantom voices when you have an intelligent, loyal canine protecting you? Nothing, I tell you, absolutely nothing.

The End.
