Episode #226: The Witch and Ghost Bomber of the Monongahela

In this Spooky Season episode, we’re heading to Western Pennsylvania for two chilling tales rooted in local folklore and legend. First, we explore the story of the Witch of Monongahela—a mysterious figure whose legend has haunted the area for generations. Then, we turn to the skies above Pittsburgh and the eerie story of the Ghost Bomber, a B-25 that splash landed on the river and disappeared underneath the surface and was never recovered. Two stories, two very different legends, and plenty of questions about what may—or may not—be lurking beyond the ordinary.
