Episode 23- Ridgeway Phantoms: Shape-Shifters of the Lead Trail

from Ope, Whatchya Think? · host spaffordcreekproductions

On this episode the hosts stumble through history and drink breaks as they recount the eerie Ridgeway legends. From 1840s miners and stagecoach routes to shape-shifting phantoms that appear as animals, headless riders, or the spirits of two tragic brothers, the guests debate whether the sightings are ghosts, skinwalkers, or generational hauntings. They mix facts about the lead-mining boom and Military Ridge with local folklore, personal anecdotes, and the chilling detail that similar sightings persist in Ridgeway to this day.
