  • Amazing podcast!

    I stumbled across JD on TikTok and immediately ran to my podcast app to start following the podcast. I work in Point Pleasant, WV and live in Meigs County, Ohio so hearing some of the history of West Virginia, crimes and haunted places is very interesting. This podcast is a must listen!
