She Only Screams at Night
In February of 2014, 5 documentary filmmakers arrived at the Bronwood Beech estate to film a documentary about the estate's history. Less than two hours after they arrived, one of them was dead. With the exception of the body of the crew member and a camera, no sign was ever found of the rest of film crew. Audio ripped from the film convinced town residents that the crew met their demise at the hands of a local entity nicknamed Camille. But could the mystery of their disappearance be much simpler than that?
*WARNING* this episode contains disturbing audio.
The Cold Shoulder
In post Civil War America, sometimes the most dangerous place to be was in your own home. There were a myriad of household items that could cause illness, injury, or even death. Many wealthy homeowners knew the chances they were taking when using dangerous items or chemicals, but no one could foresee the consequences of an average household item being moved onto the Bronwood Beech estate by the greediest member of the household. What happens when this innocuous item is moved into this house, on this land, is a story for the ages.
