From Covered Bridges to Cold Cases: Finding Story in the Shadows
Manage episode 491058340 series 3651405
What stories lie beneath forgotten headstones, behind the silence of a covered bridge, or along the curve of an old back road?
In this episode of The Wandering Pen Podcast, we meet a historian, folklorist, and storyteller who’s made it his mission to uncover Pennsylvania’s forgotten past—one cemetery, mystery, and legend at a time.
Together, we explore haunting tales of unsolved murders, lost grave markers, roadside ghost stories, and the rich but often overlooked history of Pennsylvania’s rural communities. With compassion and curiosity, our guest brings voice to people and places left out of traditional history—those who have been unnamed, misunderstood, or simply forgotten.
This episode is for anyone who loves true crime with historical depth, local legends passed down through generations, and the quiet magic of small towns and hidden places.
Whether you’re a fan of folklore, rural history, storytelling, or road trip-worthy destinations, you’ll find something here to spark your imagination—and maybe even inspire you to take a closer look at your own hometown.
