Ashwood Archives - The Blackwood Confessions

There is still so much to learn about Ashwood, the denizens, and their secrets. And being sooo close to the finale of Act 1, there's no better time to introduce the Blackwood Confessions. Dawn was right...Jenny knows way more than she's letting on.

From the Creator:

Echoes under Ashwood is more than a horror story...it is a deeply personal piece of autofiction. The slow-burn dread, the isolation of the rural Midwestern setting, and the unresolved history of the Gen X cast are directly informed by my own childhood trauma, processed and reframed through the lens of cosmic horror. This is an exploration of what it takes to look into the dark, face old ghosts, and survive the aftermath.

About Echoes under Ashwood: This is an audio-only cosmic horror podcast set in rural southeastern Ohio. Our story is a slow-burn analog mystery rooted in psychological dread, following a Gen X cast through an investigative narrative. While the story is completely improvised, the framework is heavily inspired by investigative tabletop RPG systems like Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green.

In This Episode:

• 1990s analog technology and cassette tapes
• Unresolved Gen X childhood trauma
• Shadowy Conspiracies
• Small-town Midwestern decay
• Atmospheric sound design and scoring

Episode 14 - Lance the Lothario

In Episode 14, it's the end of a very long day and the gang just wants a second of peace. They've been threatened, stonewalled, lied to, and Harry still can't find that god damned burger stand! Everyone just needs a good night's sleep. But...not before Lance is called to perform his seduction on Tina and pump her for...information. Yeah. Information. While he's figuratively fumbling with bra straps on his impromptu date with Tina, Chuck drops by the Lake House to stir Harry up with another found recording.

Episode 13 - I'd Like to Buy a Clue

In Episode 13, the crew finds themselves back at the Lake House...home away from home. They have a pile of clues, evidence, and a handful of what-the-hell to sift through. Dawn and Bex discuss the finer point of mushroom intoxication while Harry funbles through his memory for wizards? Or something? Anyway, Lance is preoccupied with the busines card from Evie Ross and finds her podcast to play for everyone.

Methulhu

Do you get the feeling you're being watched? All the time? By lots of eyes?

Do you find constant psychic intrusions bothersome and distracting?

If so, then Methulhu may be right for you.......

Do I really need to say this is satire? Ok. This is satire.

Jeez. Lighten up.

Episode 12 - Along Came a Spider

In Episode 12, Lance, Oz, and Bex find themselves standing around Amy's old house, hoodlum Thug 1sweating on the ground between them. Oh, and a corpse of Thug 2 in the kitchen. How far will Oz go to get the info he's looking for? He already shot one guy...will there be another? If I were Thug 1, I'd be more afraid of Bex. Meanwhile, Dawn and Harry arrive to the library (after Harry's tour de Ashwood) sleuthing through the Antiquarian Society's artifact display upstairs and Dawn gets her witch on. What sorts of juicy clues might they find?

Ashwood Archives - Red Ryder and the Droolers

I know...it does sound like a killer band name. but in this week's Red Ryder show on WASH AM730, Red takes a more serious call, seeing as Chuck is on vacation or something. There have been an increase in strange sightings of shambling, zoned out wack jobs around Ashwood. Well, more than usual and we're not talking about Randall's crew either. This time a caller got up close and personal to what has come to be known as a "drooler." You decide.

Episode 11 - Chain of Custody

In Episode 10, Lance, Oz, and Bex found the cache Amy left for them in her old bedroom but were stopped by Randall and his thugs before they could leave but not before Oz killed Shane "No Neck." Now they're left with a corpse, pooling blood (which seems to be a regular thing at Amy's house lately), and a cadre of stoner wannabe enforcers. Things escalate when Officer Dobbs arrives to document the altercation. Little did the goup expect the response they recieved from the Ashwood Constabulary.

Ashwood Archives: Absentia - The Vanished Expedition

Evie Ross is back and this time she's matching wits with Ashwood's resident know-it-all...Prof. Edwin McClane. Yep, this is Lance's dad. Emeritus professor of history and Arthurian legend, Dr. McClane is an expert on all things Ashwood history. Just ask him. Evie is looking into a survey crew disappearance in 1936. A group of government cartographers, geologists, and naturalists set out to record any instances of important minerals in the Hollow. They never returned. That's just the sort of thing Evie eats for breakfast. This time we think she got a piece of Edwin, too.

Episode 10 - Finders Keepers

It's getting thick and deep now! Episode 10 picks up with our fab 5 splitting up again. Harry and Dawn are headed to Jenny BlackWOOD (I don't know how many times we screw up her name but it's BlackWOOD, not Blackwell) and Backwood's Books and Cafe. They want to question Jenny about her former friend Lilly Caldwell and what she might know about Amy's return.

Meanwhile, Lance, Oz, and Bex head back over to Amy's house on the strong hunch from Dawn that the house hasn't given up all of its secrets just yet. Tensions heat up as Bex and Oz are alone in the cab of his truck for the first time in over 30 years. Bex had/has expectations. Oz has moved on. Oh, and Lance is riding in the back a la hound dog style because his recent mental health hit has him highly clausterphobic.
