Episode 6 - Stagecoach Road Jul 08, 2016

Show notes

Welcome back to the Nowhere Dispatch. In this episode, I find out that not all roads are easily navigable. Stagecoach Road is a local legend that I heard about over a decade ago. The rumors about this road are numerous: phantom stagecoaches, the Lady in White and even Bigfoot are said to walk the road and the woods nearby. Perhaps, though, the scariest thing about this road are the histories that lie mixed in the red dirt on its surface.
