Send us Fan Mail Avery just opened a mystery package with no return address and inside is an old, worn three-ring binder with no name, no label... and typed instructions for something called "Fire Watch Tower One."

Send us Fan Mail When I said I wanted to go back to Blackwood Road, I never thought I would actually find anything. A few days later a manila envelope showed up with no return address and inside was a single photograph of me standing in a restricted Blackwood logging site. I never saw anyone take it. The angle looks like it was shot from above, like a camera hidden in the trees, and it forces one terrifying conclusion: I was being watched the whole time. If you’re into paranormal invest...
Send us Fan Mail I went back into Blackwood Logging records and found three separate incidents that echo what Tom described at Site 27, but years earlier and across different crews.

Both were conducted by a reporter named Jacob Springer and Both were with men who had worked for the Blackwood Logging Company. The first was Walter Harlan. The second… was Tomas Bell. Today we walk through Tom’s story, built from reporter Jacob Springer’s original interview notes. You’ll hear why Tom volunteers for the winter crew, the specific rules foreman Frank Mercer lays down about the fore...
Send us Fan Mail I wasn't going to come back, really. People in Millbrook have always loved a good story, but lately they don't even look at me when I mention Blackwood Forest. After I stepped away from the podcast, the town’s reaction doesn’t feel like gossip anymore. It feels like a warning, and it’s aimed straight at me. So, I follow the one detail that keeps scratching at my brain: Jacob Springer, a reporter who tracked down former Blackwood logging crew workers and recorded their accoun...
