This week, we’re taking a deep dive into the very haunted history of Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina—a small Southern town with more ghost stories per square mile than Salem, Savannah, or Charleston combined. Joined by local authors and tour guides Liz Z Pardue and Kelly Prestipino (also possibly haunted), we explore paranormal encounters, unsolved murders, witch lore, haunted cemeteries, and ghostly legends that make this town feel like a Southern-fried Stephen King theme park:•Stinky Pete: a spirit who alternates between smelling like cigars or B.O. (so basically your uncle at Thanksgiving).•Pauline: the mayor’s widow who smuggled saplings out of the Biltmore Estate in coffee cans, built the best garden in town, and is now haunting people until someone finally gives her a damn plaque.•The Willow Spring Axe Murders: a dude kills his pregnant wife and kids, hides them under a cow, and then nopes out of town like it’s a Scooby-Doo episode from hell.•Shadow people, deer with human eyes, and hitchhiking 90s mall kids who refuse your umbrella offer before disappearing into the void because that's normalWe also reminisce about the true horror of growing up in the 80s and 90s: getting handed Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark in elementary school libraries, staying up all weekend with USA slasher marathons, and learning that yes, Jaws is technically about local politics with bonus shark attacks.If you’ve ever thought, “Wow, Appalachia feels weird, but maybe it’s just the trees,” this episode proves that nope—everything’s haunted. The houses, the roads, the woods, even the damn drinking water is haunted. EXTRA GHOST CHAOS •Axe murders, witch lore & haunted history of Fuquay-Varina•Paranormal encounters with cigar-smoking ghosts & perfumed spirits•Appalachian weirdness, shadow people & why the woods suck•Parenting tips: why Monster Squad is fine for kids, but Gremlins will ruin Christmas foreverSo grab your flashlight, leave your umbrella at home (the ghosts don’t want it), and join us for haunted history, true crime, and lots of looking over our shoulder cause it’s probably haunted.
