Show Notes
📍Pakistan.
✍️ Today's Tale is by Arisha Wassim, a psychology graduate and university instructor from Islamabad. Her academic fascination with the human mind naturally bleeds into her writing, where she explores themes like mental illness, guilt, and isolation. Her work is heavily inspired by the classic atmospheric dread of Poe and Shelley, seeking to find the horror not in monsters, but in the quiet unraveling of the self.
Today's tale explores the idea that hauntings are not exclusive to objects and buildings, but our minds can also be playgrounds for the supernatural.
