Legends 59: Apparition

Aaron Mahnke
About this episode

Folklore is often a regional thing, shifting and reshaping itself to fit the landscape and the people who live there. And nowhere is that more frighteningly true than one particular stretch of the American landscape.

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