Legends 29: Ghost Towns

Aaron Mahnke
About this episode

One of our biggest obsessions as a culture is abandoned places. But once you dig into the legends about these locations, it's clear that something still lives inside them.

Narrated and produced by Aaron Mahnke, with writing by Harry Marks and research by Cassandra de Alba and editing by Alex Robinson.
