Show Notes
For centuries, travelers have told terrifying stories of mysterious riders appearing on lonely roads in the dead of night.
Some were omens of death; others were restless spirits seeking justice or condemned to wander the earth forever.
These legends emerged across Europe, taking different forms but sharing one particularly gruesome characteristic.
One of these stories eventually became an American Halloween classic.
