  • The Fog - Classic
    Sep 19 2025

    Blair can’t see his hands in front of his face. He can’t see the ground beneath his feet. He’s not in the dark: he’s in a thick cloud of fog. And then a stranger’s voice emerges from the mist, guiding him… can he trust her?

    Thank you, Blair, for sharing your story with Spooked. This story comes to us from Australia, the original Upside Down.

    Produced by Greta Weber, original score by Lauryn Newson, artwork by Sanaa Khan.
