    The Haunted Woods

    Listeners, we KNOW the feed has been going absolutely haywire on you, and we're so sorry! They're working on fixing it. Trust us, we want it fixed too. Hang tight.  We take a spooky trek through history to explore the legend of Moll Dyer, Maryland’s most famous witch—and the inspiration for a certain horor movie that took the late 1990s by storm.    Written Hosted, and Researched by Laurah Norton  Additional Research by Anna Luria  Engineered by Southern Gothic Media/Rachel Boyd   Sources on our website: https://www.onestrangethingpodcast.com/ Join us on Patreon for early release and ad-free episodes, exclusive stories, and bonus  episodes: https://www.patreon.com/OneStrangeThing Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onestrangethingpod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/One-Strange-Thing-114307627035607   Subscribe to our Substack: https://substack.com/@onestrangething We have partnered with Libsyn to handle our advertising/sponsorship requests.

    Ad-Free: The Haunted Woods for Subscribers

    Apologies, listeners -- our platform is having ongoing issues with a technical communication error with Apple, and our free episode released Tuesday was eaten (mysterious) in the attempt on their side to fix it. So we're re-releasing the ad-free version separately, again, to be sure everyone is happy. Stand-by! Is Mercury retrograde? Strange lights captivated the people of Lubbock, Texas who happened to gaze skyward on a summer night in 1951. But what those lights actually were remains an object of contention… particularly because nobody involved, including the Air Force, seems interested in talking about it. This is a presentation of Premium Episode 60 on the main feed.

    The Witch

    The Bell family was prominent and well-liked by their neighbors in Robertson County, Tennessee. So when an apparent spirit manifested in the Bell home, people believed them. And when that so-called witch pivoted from conjuring snacks to causing young lovers to break up, and a patriarch to pass away suddenly… people had questions.  Since September is a three-episode month, this is a rebroadcast of our classic episode, 77: The Witch.    Hosted by Laurah Norton Research by Bryan Worters and Maura Currie Written and Produced by Maura Currie Engineered by Brandon Schexnayder    Sources on our website: https://www.onestrangethingpodcast.com/ Join us on Patreon for early release and ad-free episodes, exclusive stories, and bonus  episodes: https://www.patreon.com/OneStrangeThing Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onestrangethingpod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/One-Strange-Thing-114307627035607 Subscribe to our Substack: https://substack.com/@onestrangething   We have partnered with Libsyn to handle our advertising/sponsorship requests.
