    THE CHESTERVILLE WITCH… AND GHOST!!!

    SHOW NOTES: S4-E21   THE CHESTERVILLE WITCH… AND GHOST!!! In our next episode, we’re going to uncover a tale of witchcraft and… a ghost! Chesterville is a small Amish and Mennonite community. Within the neatly trimmed grounds of Chesterville cemetery, an old oak tree stands at the edge of the woods that separates the graveyard from the river. But there’s something different, something strange about this tree… an iron fence surrounds it, and the old stone marker no longer bears a name. You see, this is the grave of a woman who turned up dead after being accused of witchcraft in the early 1900s. The town planted a tree over her grave to trap her spirit inside and prevent her from taking revenge… but it hasn’t stopped her. Her ghost has been seen hanging around the area. Join us as we investigate the Chesterville Witch!

    REPLAY: Haunted GOATMAN BRIDGE in Texas!!!

    SHOW NOTES: S4-E19 REPLAY: Haunted GOATMAN BRIDGE in Texas!!!   Over the summer we are taking a break and highlighting some of our most popular past episodes. In this week’s replay episode from The Paranormal Factor Podcast we investigate an old Texas legend – the haunted Goatman's Bridge! In 1884, an iron through-truss bridge was built over Hickory Creek on Copper Canyon Road, south of the old townsite of Alton, Texas. At the time it was called The Old Alton Bridge for the long-vanished town of Alton. It was a rural area, and all was relatively peaceful, that is until hatred, bigotry, and violent murder cast an ominous spell over the spot. Some say a paranormal entity was born from it – one that still haunts and stalks the old Alton bridge even today… looking for vengeance!!! So, if you like ghosts, revenge-seeking spirits, and dark unknown entities, this is your episode listeners!  Join me as we chase down a dark supernatural being who haunts the Goatman Bridge in Texas - right here on The Paranormal Factor Podcast!    RESOURCES: ·  The Secrets of Goatman's Bridge: True Tales of Chilling Paranormal Encounters at One of the Most Haunted Bridges in America by Becky Vickers: Amazon Books ·  Ghost Story – The Legend of Goatman’s Bridge (CBS Texas): YouTube Video ·  The Demonic Goatman’s Bridge (Buzzfeed Unsolved): YouTube Video   MUSIC: Our theme song: Knockers by Cinco Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/cinco/knockers License code: WOV5PUB9XXLYRORN   Our End Song: Lost Places Music by Julius H from Pixabay   Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/ak/rebirth License code: SIML2BOTYV7GMHDK   Drum Roll by Chris Wyman
