We would LOVE to hear any personal stories, corrections, or anything of the like relating to spooky stuff! It also doesn't have to be local at all.

Previous Episode

Melonheads

I wish I was a normal kid, but I got a melon as a head instead! Reese walks us through that story about those big head kids sneaking around the woods, stealing cars, and whatever else they do. Pretty weird stuff, and we talk about why this may have started as a legend in the first place.
This one is definitely one of those stories that has some truth behind it, but how much truth? That's for you to decide!
