Girtys Island

Our inaugural episode takes place amidst the corn fields in the flattened landscape of Northwest Ohio. Islands aren’t supposed to exist there. Islands are the stuff of pirates, and Robinson Crusoe, and remote tribal peoples. They’re exotic, or remote, or maybe even a little goofy (think more Gilligan than Tahiti). In any case, they’re not places that Midwesterners consider home. That’s why, when the term Girty’s Island kept popping up during my search for interesting Ohio folklore, I knew I had to dig in. Let's explore all the island has to offer, including secrets she's been holding for centuries.
