The Hero of the Ozarks
10/07/22 • 34 min
When Cody Owens enters Snake's Tongue Cave in the Ozark Mountains, Missouri in 2015, he's expecting a fun adventure. He's expecting an exciting story to tell.
What he's not expecting is a face rising out of a pool of water. Or getting stuck in a gap between stone slabs. Or a voice calling out from the darkness as he struggles to free himself.
But at Hometown Paranormal, things are rarely what they seem.
Welcome to Ghostober! Every episode during the month of October will be a ghost story, and The Hero of the Ozarks is our first!
As a reminder: all stories on Hometown Paranormal are fiction. Any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental and unintentional.
A special thank you to Melaura for suggesting a cave as a location for a story at Hometown Paranormal.
