Summary

Tonight's Dead Letter is about a chilling series of events in the remote Alaskan town of Dillingham. We explore the eerie parallels between the legendary Mothman and the Yupik culture's mysterious Irrcenraq beings. Our listener shares his haunting personal experiences with unexplained phenomena, including shadowy figures, strange phone calls, and dancing balls of light. As 15 people die in rapid succession in this small community, we delve into the unsettling connections between these deaths and the appearance of otherworldly entities. Join us as we navigate the murky waters between folklore and reality in this remote Alaskan town.
