Time again for my compilation of what I think are the Top 10 Scary Radio Stories from the year. They are in chronological order, not necessarily in the order of worse to worst.

From abcnews.go.com this came out of Sacramento, California: "A woman who competed in a radio station's contest to see how much water she could drink without going to the bathroom died of water intoxication, the coroner's office said Saturday. Jennifer Strange, 28, was found dead Friday in her suburban Rancho Cordova home hours after taking part in the 'Hold Your Wee for a Wii' contest in which KDND 107.9 promised a Nintendo Wii video game system for the winner."
