Episode #116 “Halloween Stories – Part Two”
Today is part two of our Halloween show specials for this year. I’ll be talking about Mummies in Appalachian (yes would you believe it) along with more Halloween stories, including a reading of Ghosts and Spirts written and performed by West Virginia Storyteller Mack Samples.
