In this episode of the Ravens Vail Coven, Master storyteller Ed Bolden-Greer shares a haunting tale performed during Appalachian Horror Fest 2024.   Inspired by a vivid dream from his childhood, the story revolves around a young child who, after wishing for a friend while stargazing with their mother, encounters a terrifying creature that embodies their darkest fears.
