    Welcome to

    Sometime Between Dusk and Dawn Ghost Stories. This episode is written and produced by me, Jannette Quackenbush, with folklore drawn from many resources, including Uncle Remus Returns, Brer Rabbit and the Witch-Rabbit African
    American folktales collected by Joel Chandler Harris and The Journal of American Folklore.  There is more than just this podcast. You can buy my book series on Amazon and other bookstores.

     The Y-City Cryptid Festival at Zane’s Landing Park in Zanesville, Ohio, is coming up on Saturday, October 14, 2023 from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. This family-friendly event is a mix of cryptid creatures near Muskingum County and pop culture. There will be craft vendors, various other vendors, food trucks, art, a beer garden, and much more, including me with my books to sell. When most think of local cryptids, they think of Bigfoot or

    Grassman. In years of old in Zanesville, this story was told around the hearth and based on old folklore of a creature called Tailypo and what happens if you take something that is not yours!

  • Death of a Snake Oil Salesman

    The George Washington Heritage Trail makes its way through 3 counties in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle, where travelers can visit interesting historical places and follow in the footsteps of the first president. Along its path is a haunting in a quiet little cemetery in Berkeley Springs that is nestled beneath trees and surrounded by quaint homes. Sometimes your past comes back to haunt you. And other times, you come back to haunt your past.  This just might be said about a certain doctor whose deceitfully-made decisions in life caused him eternal problems after death.

  • The Legend of The Dead Horse Thief and Tinker's Cave

    I just finished my second book on Haunted Hikes of the Appalachian Hills and Hollows which included ghost stories, legends, and abandoned places in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. It is the perfect time of year to check out some scary places secreted into the Appalachian wilds. And for those who know me well, you know I don’t just write about it. I go to the site and check it out. And—you should get out there too! Here is a local Hocking Hills region story tucked within the pages of my book about a thief and a certain haunted cave that you can visit too—

    A man and horses haunt a rock shelter off a lonely stretch of dirt-gravel road at the head of a valley. He died many years ago, and the reason for this haunting might have something to do with the dead man’s deeds in life.

    Want to visit the cave? It is at Wayne National Forest,  12318 Burton Hill Road New Straitsville, Ohio 43766

    (39.545483, -82.226367) Watch for the small gravel pull-off. The rugged trail is on the same side as the pull-off. Have fun, follow Wayne National’s rules, and be careful!

  • Hitchhiking Christmas Ghost . . .In the Spirit of the Season, Would You Offer Her a Ride?

    Welcome to Sometime Between Dusk and Dawn Ghost Stories. This episode is written and produced by me, Jannette Quackenbush, with folklore drawn from many resources. There is more than just this podcast. You can buy my West Virginia Ghost Stories book series on Amazon and in local bookstores.

    It is time to dredge up ghost stories from Christmases past and pass them along as tradition allows because in days of old, the time to tell the most terrifying stories around the fireplace was in the chilliest days around Christmas. I would love to sit in a rickety rocking chair, letting the rockers creak and grind on the planks of an old wooden floor, near midnight and before a fire burning low to tell this story to you--I cannot . . . Oh, but maybe I can. Sit back. Relax. And let me tell you a haunting tale. . .
