The Glowing Phantom and the Casket Factory Haunting

from Spooky Appalachia

In this episode of Spooky Appalachia, we explore two unsettling accounts that prove some things in the mountains refuse to be ignored.First, we travel back to 1954 to hear a harrowing childhood encounter. A nine-year-old boy wakes in the middle of the night to find a glowing, disembodied head drifting toward his bed—an entity that would haunt his family for generations to come. What was this strange light, and why did it follow them long after they left the family home?Next, we head to the 1970s and a newspaper office built inside a former casket factory. After a photographer decides to play a cruel prank on a superstitious coworker, he finds himself targeted by the building’s true inhabitants. From disembodied voices and the suffocating feeling of being followed, to a chilling apparition at the top of the stairs, this is a haunting reminder that you should always be careful who—or what—you provoke in the dark.Have your own story?
