Legends 38: Fife & Drum

Aaron Mahnke
About this episode

We’ve all heard that war often leaves a few ghost stories in its wake. As proof, we offer a key territory in America’s most formative conflict…and all the terrifying stories that still linger there as a result.

Narrated and produced by Aaron Mahnke, with writing by Harry Marks, and research by Jamie Vargas.
