In this episode of It’s Ben a Week, we’re diving into the most unhinged small-town stories ever—ghosts, UFOs, secret sex clubs, and, somehow, a sweet potato that no one saw coming.

Ben is joined by Sherry, a friend and small-town insider, as they break down:

  • Ben’s latest medical nightmare and why his elbow is still trying to kill him
  • A haunted house so terrifying, the entire family had to flee
  • The time PETA came for Ben’s life over a rattlesnake
  • Granbury’s underground sex club and the town’s thriving swinger scene
  • Why Texas aliens love Stephenville and what they might be up to
  • The most unexplainable paranormal encounters that will make you question everything
  • Introducing ShineScence—AJ and Sherry’s new venture, helping people find their signature scent through custom candles, sprays, and seasonal blends. Check it out at Shinescence.com!

Between ghost stories, bizarre alien sightings, and the weirdest small-town gossip ever, this episode has haunting energy in every way possible. Listen now, and be prepared to rethink everything you thought you knew about Granbury, Texas.
