Welcome back to Echoes in the Dark: Stories, Haunts, and Horror — where the trees whisper, the hosts are sleep-deprived, and the ghosts have better attendance than your coworkers.
In this episode, John Keaser Jr. digs into the chilling origins of Hopewell Hollow with readings from Chapters 3 and 4, where curses take root and the past refuses to stay buried. Then we branch out (pun intended) into real-world haunted legends of sinister trees and cursed forests — the kind that make you question every camping trip you’ve ever taken.
Macabre Bob drops in with his usual blend of inappropriate charm and bad life choices, before John closes the night ranking six horror films involving killer trees, from the gloriously ridiculous (Thankskilling) to the genre-defining (The Evil Dead).
Equal parts folklore, fear, and dark comedy — “Roots of Evil” dives into the places where grief, nature, and the supernatural intertwine.
