  • 26. The Headless Horseman of Paoli
    In this riveting episode, we delve into the dark and haunting tales from Paoli, Pennsylvania. First, we explore the tragic events of the Paoli Massacre of 1777, where a surprise night attack by the British led to the brutal deaths of American soldiers during the Revolutionary War. We uncover the historical details, personal stories, and lingering impact of this grim chapter in American history.
    Next, we venture into the eerie legend of the Headless Horseman of Paoli, a spectral figure said to haunt the grounds where the massacre took place. We trace the origins of this chilling ghost story, discuss local lore, and ponder the connection between history and hauntings. Join us as we blend historical fact with spine-tingling folklore in an episode that will leave you questioning what truly lingers in the shadows.

  • 25. Puckwudgies: Little People of the Woods

    "If you ever see them, don't be afraid. Talk to them, be nice to them, and they will bring you luck." Kiki defends the honor of the sometimes mischievous Puckwudgies against the brutal onslaught of JC. Kiki takes us on a tour of the great North American legend of the Little People of the Woods with stories from the New England Mohegan tribe, heading down south to the Muskogean tribal legend of the Choctaw and then ending with Pennsylvania's local Algonquian tribal tale from the Lenni Lenape. 

    Our featured music is from Foghorn Lonesome with the song "Ghosts of the Oak".
