The Ghost Came A’Knockin’

In this episode of MountainLore, we tell the tale of a once beautiful old house nestled deep in the woods. For over a century and a half, whispers of the house’s haunting have echoed through the hills, all stemming from the tragic and untimely end of its reclusive occupant, a man known simply as Johnny.

Join us as we tell of the greed and murder that cursed the once beautiful home, and how Johnny’s love for solitude and rumors of hidden riches led to a deadly encounter with an envious neighbor.

We tell of the spectral knocks that plague the house each full moon and of the peace that Johnny’s ghost so desperately sought.
