Podcast: Creepy Ghost Stories - Horror Stories From The Grave

Description: Set in 1986, the story follows a high school football player in the once-thriving industrial and technological hub of Poage, Kentucky, whose team loses a tense homecoming game after he gets distracted in the stadium tunnel by a horrific sight: a local serial killer known as the "Boyd County Cut Throat" murdering a teenage classmate. The subsequent panic, gruesome wave of copycat murders, economic collapse, and complete flight of the population forced the state government and National Guard to declare a total state of emergency, forcibly evacuating the remaining citizens and effectively scrubbing the ghost town and its dark history from the internet and public memory.
