The Town Beneath takes us below the surface of a quiet Midwestern town — a place built on sacred ground, shadowed by history, and haunted by what it chose to forget. Through stories of power, loss, and reckoning, we unearth the truth behind the ghost tours and myths that softened the past.

In this special Halloween episode, we blend poetry, archival echoes, and immersive sound design to explore how one city’s buried history reveals the light — and the cost — of remembering.

Featuring reflections on the life and lynching of Samuel J. Bush (1893), the legacy of the Power House, and the enduring question: can a town ever outgrow its own ghosts?
