What happens when the spirit of one of America's most beloved authors refuses to rest…and demands to share one more story? In 1917, an obscure novel titled Jap Herron was published — not by a living writer, but allegedly by the ghost of Mark Twain. Using a Ouija board as her typewriter, Emily Grant Hutchings claimed she channeled the book directly from Twain himself, letter by letter, from beyond the grave. Tonight, Varla Ventura joins host Dave Schrader to explore this strange case of spectral storytelling, spiritualism, and literary controversy. Was it a hoax, a haunting, or Twain’s final mic drop from the other side? Prepare yourself...this one’s weird even by our standards. Get the full story in Shadowzine #3 (www.Shadowzine.com).
