In the quiet woods of York County, Pennsylvania, superstition festered into fear… and fear turned fatal.
In 1928, three men entered a farmhouse with rope, kerosene, and the belief that the man inside—Nelson Rehmeyer—was a witch who had cursed their lives. What followed was one of the most bizarre and brutal murders in American history, forever staining a patch of land now known as Hex Hollow.
Join Lee, Jen, and Josh as they uncover a chilling story of folk magic, religious mysticism, and a book some believed could heal—or destroy. From the twisted spells of The Long Lost Friend to the lingering whispers in Rehmeyer’s house, this episode blends history, horror, and high strangeness into one unforgettable tale.
Because sometimes… it’s not the unknown that haunts us. It’s what we believe in.
