Ol’ Bones | A Family’s Bargain with a Monster in the New York Woods Aug 17, 2022

Show notes

A family leaves its first hunting kill for something in the forest in “Ol’ Bones” by Joe Solmo. In northern New York, a grandfather’s warning has become a rule: offer the creature its share, respect the creek’s markings and leave its territory alone. Carcasses hanging in trees and enormous tracks give the younger generation reasons to obey, even without seeing what accepts the sacrifice. This backwoods monster story follows a bargain passed down as family lore. Curiosity promises a glimpse of the truth—but some neighbors are safer left unseen.

The salvage inquiry raised suspicions, while theories about cargo fumes, weather and a hurried evacuation competed with the ghost stories that followed. A seaworthy vessel became one of maritime history’s enduring mysteries. What could persuade ten people to leave their ship—and where did they go? We're telling that story tonight.

A chemical cover-up turns cattle country into a feeding ground in “By the Horns” by David O’Hanlon. Spencer Ambrose makes a living protecting powerful clients from the consequences of their pollution. His latest assignment takes him to Belfast, Texas, where buried military chemicals and a rancher’s reckless plans threaten much more than a lawsuit. When the livestock develop an appetite for people, legal maneuvering stops being useful.
