🎧 There’s Something Living in the Shatagee Woods That Shouldn’t Be…


Ah—now the bell tolls clear! Let us lace up our stiffest Sunday boots, don the high starched collar of propriety, and yet… allow just a glint of mischief beneath the brim. For what is North Country folklore but a parlor game for the damned? A fireside jape told with trembling hands?


🍂 It Started With a Boy Who Walked Too Far…

Some say curiosity killed the cat. ‘Round here, we reckon it’s just as likely to drag the boy down to Rocky Brook, neck-deep in something best left undisturbed. Calvin wasn’t looking for trouble, no sir—but the woods… the woods were looking for him. A flash of motion, a smell like damp mushrooms and wet fur, and a glimpse of something that don’t fit in God’s taxonomy books.

👉 But what he saw… well, friend, you’ll have to press play to find out. Best do it before sundown.


🔥 When Gossip Turns Grim — The Congregation at Abner’s Store…

There’s places you go for answers—and places you go for speculation wrapped in pipe smoke and bad coffee. Abner Percy’s Store leans heavily toward the latter. By the time Calvin showed up breathless, that place was packed tighter than a sardine tin with every bewhiskered philosopher and backwoods theologian within ten miles. You’ve never heard a more chaotic blend of doom, mockery, and utter dead seriousness.

💥 Want to know what passes for “truth” in East Bellmont? You’d best listen in. It’s cheaper than therapy, and twice as disturbing.


🌲 Seen. Described. Denied. Repeated.

There are those who swear it’s real. There are those who swear at those who swear it’s real. But facts don’t seem inclined to intervene. A shambling mass of moss, fur, rot, and intent—whether you call it a cryptid, a forest spirit, or just “one more reason not to own property near Rocky Brook”—it’s out there. And it’s watching. 👀

🎙️ Spoiler: You won’t like how close it gets. But you will like this episode. Press play, sinner.


🫖 Oh, It Has Manners — Even Monsters Take Tea…

Yes, believe it or not, our local abomination isn’t always skulking about the woods. Sometimes it gussies up in borrowed hats and gaudy earrings and drifts, unbothered, into polite society. Seen—barely—at a perfectly respectable tea party at the Banner House. A social debut, one might say. ☕👒

⚓ If you’re thinking, “That can’t possibly be true,” well, welcome to the Shatagee Woods, friend. You must be new here.
