"....Last night I heard the dogs again, this side of the crick. This morning another window’s smudged and her bitty footprint’s in the skift.
Ma wipes her eyes and the glass, takes the broom out to snow-sweep.
Pa’s painting the fence blue like a river she can’t cross. Tonight he’ll throw salt on the coals..."
- "Haint" by Eve Ellis
In this episode, we take a trip down to the Appalachia region of the USA to get scared by some haints, boogers and strange encounters. A big thank you to the /r/Appalachia sub reddit for their notes and suggestions. Make sure you visit the Haint Country team's Facebook page and check out their new book "Haint Country: Dark Folktales from the Hills and Hollers of Eastern Kentucky".
