Episode 1: When the Dead Return
from Everwyrd - A Paranormal Podcast · host Mac Mort
In the biting autumn of 1662, the roads of County Antrim were silent, save for the rhythmic thud of hooves. Francis Taverner was a man of simple business, until he crested the hill at Drumbridge and encountered a man he knew to be dead.Bathed in an unnatural light stood James Haddock, a man who the earth had been packed over almost five years previously. This was no trick of the mist. Haddock’s spirit did not want prayer or peace; he wanted justice, and he was determined to get it. That single roadside encounter turned into a harrowing obsession that drove Taverner to the brink of madness. This is not merely a ghost story; it is a matter of public record. It is a case where the spectral crossed the threshold of the courthouse, where folklore was bound by oath, and where the dead refused to stay buried while their legacy was being erased.
