🎙️ NOW BROADCASTIN’ FROM EAST BELLMONT 🎙️
Winds of W Mountain — Latest Episode:
The Reforester’s Ledger, Kiln-Glow Revenant, and the Slag Man

If you’ve ever walked the Number Five Road after sundown, you already know better than to ask what don’t want answerin’. But for the rest of ye brave or foolish enough to listen in—this week’s episode of Winds of W Mountain might just set your teeth clickin’ like frozen fishhooks. 🪓🌲

This here tale ain’t no stage-show fiction, neither. It’s pulled straight from the mossy lips of East Bellmont and the black-gummed archives of Steamboat Dispatch Press—our very own pirate-run newspaper outfit built on truth, scandal, and a few suspiciously unlicensed transmitters.

THE REFORESTER’S LEDGER (1912): Young Vreeland thought he came to audit pine plots for Cornell. What he found was a spiral forest grown from a buried iron heart—a forge hammer that still knocks without fire or hand. His notes end mid-sentence. His chain-men ain’t never come out.

KILN-GLOW REVENANT (1913–1917): Foreign choppers sleepin’ in the old beehive kilns near Wolf Pond woke to fire without flame and a thing made of slag, glass, and smolderin’ rage. Two went missin’. The rest ran till their boots smoked. And yet the kilns still breathe. Some nights, the birches glow.

And as for the Slag Man?
You’ll have to tune in to hear what walks where steel once sang.

🔔 Caution: Contains backwoods horror, auditory unease, and possible forge-haint emissions. Not recommended for listeners who fear spiral geometry, magnetic groans, or men made of molten sorrow. 🔔

So gather close, kindle the radio fire, and bite down on a strap if need be. This episode is rarer than a smoked salmon trout hauled from Chateaugay’s south inlet in spring flood—rich, ghost-cured, and liable to repeat on your nerves. 🎧

“If the kiln’s breathin’, don’t wait to see what it’s cookin’.”
