S2 Ep19: The House on 109

Episode Description from the Publisher

In tonight's dead letter, we head into Grafton, West Virginia — a small railroad town built on a B&O junction, Civil War supply lines, and two national cemeteries. The house at the center of this story sat right in the middle of all that history. When a listener named Jonathan moved in with his family as a kid, it was, as he puts it, just off — and the footsteps upstairs were the easy part. Small things kept stacking up, the kind you could maybe almost explain away one at a time but never all together. Decades later he's still working through what happened in that house, and what stayed there.REFERENCE LINKSGrafton, West Virginia — e-WV EncyclopediaB&O Railroad Historical Marker in GraftonGrafton Civil War Supply Depot Historical MarkerGrafton National Cemetery — National Cemetery AdministrationThornsbury Bailey Brown — First Union Soldier Killed in the Civil WarInternational Mother's Day ShrineAnna Jarvis, Founder of Mother's DayThe Grafton Monster — e-WV EncyclopediaThe Grafton Monster FestivalThe Grafton Monster in Fallout 76George Washington's Surveying of Grafton — City of GraftonRuth Ann Musick, West Virginia FolkloristThe Telltale Lilac Bush and Other West Virginia Ghost TalesAstonishing Legends Ep 85: The Bell Witch Part 1Astonishing Legends Archived Episodes — The Bell Witch SeriesThe Enfield Poltergeist (1977)The Smurl Haunting (West Pittston, PA)Skinwalkers at the Pentagon — Lacatski, Kelleher, KnappHypnopompic Hallucinations — Sleep FoundationThe Old Hag Phenomenon and Sleep ParalysisThe Blemmyes — Headless Men with Faces in Their ChestsWest Virginia Paranormal InvestigationsPaper Moon (1973)We're looking for more stories!
