Ghost Trains, Haunted Homes, and Juvenile Detention | Brian Bowyer | 103

What do 30+ horror and true crime books, a haunted house, a ghost train, and a juvenile detention sentence have in common?

Brian Bowyer.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Brian in the studio—and let me tell you, this man is one of the most captivating storytellers I’ve ever met. From a rocky past that included three years in the system as a teenager and battling severe alcohol addiction, Brian transformed his life through words.

In this two-hour October-perfect episode, we cover:

-His early days in juvie and how he discovered his love for reading
-The addiction that nearly took him under
-The decades-long writing journey that has earned him critical acclaim
AND the true ghost stories that followed him home

This ain’t just an October horror episode—its redemption wrapped in Appalachian weirdness.

🎙️ Tune in October 14th for one of our most unforgettable interviews: raw, real, eerie, and inspiring
