Show Notes
It was the evening of September 12, 1952. Several young boys between the ages of 10 and 13 were playing on the lawn of their small town elementary school playground. They were running back and forth, playing a game of football, when 3 of the boys looked up into the sky. A large ball of light was moving across the town above them. They watched as it made its way over to a hill near G. Bailey Fisher’s farm before floating down behind the trees.
One of the boys shouted to their friends that it must be a shooting star and that there might be gold inside. Excited, the boys made plans to head on up to the site and make new discoveries. Together with the mother of 2 of the boys, and an older relative in the national guard, they trekked through the woods and on to something completely unexpected. What they didn’t know as they marched up the hill was that they were about to encounter something so frightening and unexplainable that people would still be talking about it more than 70 years later. Today we’ll be telling you all about what they experienced out on that hill and their encounter with what is known today as The Flatwoods Monster…

While walking the aisles of an antique store or resale shop, I often think about the people who owned all of this stuff before it found itself here. You know, normal questions like: Who did it come from? What were they like? Are they still alive? Was their house haunted? Did they participate in any dark rituals that may have bound a demonic entity or disgruntled spirit to these items? Even though we may never know the answers to these questions, some of our listeners have encountered a ghost or two inside a thrift store or attached to an item they felt drawn to bring home and those are the stories we’ll be telling you in this episode! Get your coziest blanket, your warm mug of tea, and settle in with one eye on that antique piece of furniture you have sitting there in your room with you as we tell stories of haunted thrift stores, a pair of pants with a ghostly attachment, and a doll possessed by the spirit of its previous owner!

I feel like attempting to contact the spirits of the dead at least once is like a rite of passage for all who would have put themselves in the category of ‘spooky.’ And just as we’ve said so many times on this podcast, you never know what’s waiting for you in the darkness when you’re reaching out. Today, I’ve brought you several stories from our listeners who took a chance with a ouija board and made contact with something much darker than they intended!
