I Was Accused of WITCHCRAFT at a Christian School

When Leo Martinez, a young after-school coordinator, started a storytelling club for middle schoolers, he thought he was just teaching them about creativity and teamwork. But at the small, faith-based academy where he worked, his fun Dungeons & Dragons-style game took a dark turn. A joke about summoning the wind during a story session sparked a rumor that quickly spiraled into a full-blown moral panic, with parents accusing him of being a negative influence and practicing the occult. This episode follows Leo's surreal journey as he's confronted by the school's administration, who value tuition payments over truth, and is ultimately demoted from mentor to handyman. But this isn't just a story about a modern-day witch hunt; it's about the incredible, ironic twist that followed. Leo reveals how this bizarre and painful experience pushed him down an unexpected path, leading him to university to study the very things he was accused of—folklore, moral panics, and the history of witchcraft. It's a fascinating look at how perception becomes reality, and how the strangest chapters of our lives can sometimes lead us to our true calling.
