There were also horror shows on the radio. Very terrifying and thrilling to me as a kid. They had all these creepy sound effects. They would come on at ten o'clock at night, and I just would scare myself to death. ↗

When I was growing up in East Germay, everyone said there was no God. So I started looking for it myself. ↗
