Small Town Whispers

Possession or Performance?


Listen Later

We'd love to hear from you!

We trace Mary’s missing days at the Peoria Water Cure and the split between diagnosis and belief, then widen the lens to Wilmington’s haunted landmarks and why certain places feel charged. The thread is care: how families endure the unexplainable and how cities hold memory.

• personal connection to Watseka and stakes
• recap of Mary’s case and early possession claims
• clinic interviews, memory gaps, and skepticism
• months of treatment, routine, and family strain
• empathy for caregivers behind closed doors
• shift to Wilmington’s ghost tours and lore
• Thalian Hall history and reported activity
• USS North Carolina sightings and soundscapes
• invitation for listener stories from Wilmington
• reflection on why places feel haunted
