Happy October listeners. All this month we're bringing you a special series we're calling

True Urban Legends. Every week will dissect one classic urban legend and the haunting true story that either inspired it or is

eerily similar. As an added surprise each new episode will be presented by a

different host including one with yours truly.

All of us had a hand in choosing the urban legends we found the most compelling, but you'll

have to tune in each week to find out which tales we chose and the true stories behind every legend.

Due to the nature of this case, listener discretion is advised.

This episode includes discussions of violence and murder.

Consider this when deciding how and when you'll listen.

On a lonely road in Pennsylvania, a car rolls to a stop in front of an old two-story clapboard home.

Three teenage boys climb out. they stare up at the dark looming structure known as the Hex Hollow

Murder House. The home sits in a clearing of crooked trees as if the forest

itself is afraid to get too close.

It's dark, wooden exterior is weathered from over a century of exposure to the elements,

and the dusty windows seem less like openings to the outside and more like eyes,

diligently watching those who dare get near.

And this night, Halloween night,

the house has a lot to watch out for.

According to legend, it's the one day a year when the hollow becomes a portal to hell.

Hex Hollow may look a bit frail these days,

but the legend says the house and the land

are cursed by the horrors that happened inside.
