This is a weird and crazy story and one I found genuinely scary. I had been meaning to do something on Santa Muerte for CrashOut for a while, but as you can see in the video it turned into something different, and darker.
The edit was ready just before Christmas but it felt wrong to publish it too close to Christmas Day, so here it is into the new year. I’d be interested on your thoughts on this shadowy world.
This is a pretty visual story but if you prefer the straight audio version, then here it is below.
