New Episode of The Grotto coming Aug 30th.

Listen to The Cellar Letters: https://www.thecellarletters.com/

After a series of traumatic events, including losing his job, Nate and his dog Bella move across country to the East Coast. Nate documents the whole process, as he seeks to try something new and have a fresh start.

The new house appears perfect: huge, loads of room, a yard for Bella to run in… and the rent is unbelievably low. But there’s something not quite right. The house feels… off. Knocking noises in the nighttime, and a locked room in the basement, filled with letters about strange occurrences and ghostly figures.

Who wrote the letters? And why are they all stored in the cellar? Join Nate, his dog, and his friend Steve as they search for answers.
