Today's episode is an extra special episode. Join me as I tell a story from my Great-Great-Great Grandma's journal about a spooky thing that happened nearly 250 years ago. I thought she made the story up, but apparently it was a very real event and I found the tale in many newspapers. You don't want to miss this one!
