Hometown Ghost Stories

Hometown Ghost Stories dives into the history of haunted locations and investigates why and how these places earned their terrifying reputation.

You can even join the show - as many do, during the live broadcasts on YouTube, Tuesday nights at 9pm EST, as we talk ghosts, demons, poltergeists, and the horrifying true tales that led to these hauntings.

In the woods near Denton, Texas, a rusted bridge stretches over a forgotten creek—a place locals avoid after dark. The legend speaks of a man who was Taken by a mob—never seen again, his body never recovered, his name erased. What returned wasn’t human.
