Hauntings in the Piedmont
Hauntings in the Piedmont is FOX8's podcast detailing tales of haunts in North Carolina's Piedmont Triad. From city employees experiencing what they describe as the "freakiest thing" they've ever seen, to spirits which seem to continue to make their presence known and a haunted bridge known nationwide, we talked with people who claim to have had firsthand supernatural experiences, as well as those who say they've solved decades-long mysteries. An idea which was originally intended to be a simple miniseries for television, this blossomed into a podcast simply based on the passionate storytellers you'll be introduced to. With minimal editing, these stories are told in their own words and largely uninterrupted, just in time for Halloween.
