It is marked explicit for content.Hello there, this is Spooky Boo from Spooky Boo’s Scary Story Time where I tell the true and fiction stories of the dark side of the internet.Today, during the true scary story time and true crime time, I have for you a spooky expose on the ancient serial killer Peter Niers.
