Every season, we say the same thing: don’t taunt ghosts. Don’t make fun of them, don’t tease them, and whatever you do, don’t make a joke about bringing them home with you, because they might just end up making your life a waking nightmare.

Spirits in the Sky Jan 10, 2025

Show notes

Choogie has been visiting old structures on the reservation looking for evidence of spirits ever since he could drive, but there is one place he’s never been ready to visit until now at age 20, the old churchyard. The building was torn down decades ago, but he was told by a church elder that what he’s looking for, it’s still there. He just has to turn the doorknob.

Thanks so much to Cherokee National Treasure, Choogie Kingfisher, for sharing your story with us!
