Ep. 7-Abel's Light: Hauntings of Owl's Hollow
Ever wonder what secrets linger in the silent shadows of the South? Join us over a refreshing glass of sweet tea as we unravel the chilling tale of "Abel's Light" from the heart of Owl's Hollow, Alabama. The disappearance of young Henry Abel on a frigid December night in the early 1900s sets the stage for a spine-tingling ghost story that has haunted the remote roads and rich lore of this intriguing area. As we reflect on the joys and tribulations of launching our podcast and growing our online presence, particularly the quirks of TikTok, we extend heartfelt thanks to our supporters for their incredible encouragement.
Our journey doesn't stop there; we delve into personal encounters with the spectral and mysterious. From phantom microphone movements to the curious appearance of Starburst wrappers, these supernatural experiences will have you questioning every creak and rustle. We share the story of a ghostly "bright man" thought to be a family spirit and invite listeners to submit their own Southern folklore and ghostly encounters. Imagine the thrill of future live podcasts from haunted locales, where the line between the living and the spectral blurs. Stay connected with us on all platforms, and send your stories to steeped@holdmysweettea.com for a chance to be featured in our next eerie adventure.
