🎙️ NOW BROADCASTIN’ — Winds of W Mountain: “Iphigenia in the Woods; or: How to Summon an Ancient Greek Curse with Moss” 🌲🕯️📻

A notice tacked crooked at Merrill’s lakeside: the old amphitheater is open again, benches damp, stones cold. Names turn up where they shouldn’t—Franklin Haven Sargent, Julia, Old Alys Bentley—and a script nobody recalls finishin’. The lake holds its breath. The woods do not.

There’s a ledger dated June 1920. A length of wire tucked beneath an altar stone. A patch of moss trimmed neat as stage makeup. Someone swears the acoustics carry more than applause. Someone else says it’s just weather and nerves. Which story stays put?

From a brittle reel marked Case Notes: “We set the lights. The stage answered back.”

Did Sargent build a theater to honor tragedy—or to keep something from wanderin’ off? And why does the altar look freshly tended when no one admits to tendin’ it?

🕯️⚠️ Mind your ears. Old tape crackles, rumors bruise easy, and some sounds arrive sideways. Keep the volume honest and the lantern lit.

In this episode:

• Merrill’s lakeside stones

• Wire beneath the altar

• A diary, half-burned

• Moss cut to measure

Pull the cord on the radio. Settle close to the stove. Let the night do the rest.
