Welcome back listeners! To kick off season 2, we are bringing you a tale from Russellville, Kentucky. Though there are several variations, this story details the fate of an angry teenage girl who cursed God for allowing a lightning storm to ruin her romantic plans. She was reportedly struck by lightning and her image was etched upon the windowpane she was standing in front of, preserving her moment of death for all to see.
