Mangy, matted fur. Big as a horse, with large, glowing red eyes. And, to top it off, an omen of death. The black dog appears as a motif across history and cultures, and is not to be trifled with.

Ready your bocks! Are You Afraid of the Bark? returns with tales of ghostly farm animals.

Episode 24 is all about the hella haunted Grand Hotel in Jerome, Arizona, whose many spirit residents include a mysterious grey cat...plus spooky listener stories from Caroline and Katey!

In this episode, delve into the story of Russian witch Baba Yaga and her (potentially) helpful menagerie of animal servants.

Join your spooky hostess for this special half-episode, an exploration of the animals of the Chinese Zodiac, all in honour of the Lunar New Year!
