Episode 80: The coal region of Pennsylvania is full of dark, chilling tales, and none are darker than the story of the Gordon Mountain Ghost. On this episode, we traveled to Broad Mountain to explore the site of a 1925 murder that still haunts the region. A young woman was brutally bludgeoned and burned, and legend says her spirit still roams the mountain, searching for her killer or for justice.

The crime captured national attention, with dozens of newspaper articles chronicling the tragedy and reports of her ghost appearing on the mountain. Séances were held, and hundreds of cars lined the mountain road, all hoping for a glimpse of her lost soul.
