Dead Air Files| Ledger 47| The Witch of Pungo Trial

Along the isolated backroads and marshlands of coastal Virginia, one legend has survived for generations—the tale of the Witch of Pungo. Described as a mysterious woman living on the edge of society, she was feared by some, respected by others, and blamed for strange happenings that locals struggled to explain. In this episode of Dead Air Files, we journey into the history and folklore surrounding one of Virginia's most enduring legends. Was the Witch of Pungo truly a practitioner of supernatural arts, or did fear, isolation, and rumor transform a real person into a lasting ghost story? From local accounts and regional folklore to the historical roots of the legend, we'll explore how one woman became immortalized as a witch—and why her story continues to fascinate people more than a century later. Some legends fade with time. Others refuse to stay buried. ---------------- Know more.

Dead Air Files| Crossroads 45 |Cryptid and True crime ft. Nightshade (Sunflower and Nightshade)

In this newest episode of Dead Air Files, Mac is joined by Nathan—aka Nightshade from Sunflower and Nightshade—for a wide-ranging conversation that drifts between true crime, cryptids, and the strange space where the two overlap. From unsettling real-world cases to the folklore that refuses to stay buried, the discussion moves through the shadows of both history and legend. Together, they dig into the question of what happens when eyewitness accounts, local myths, and unexplained encounters start to blur together—and why those stories stick with us long after we hear them. It’s part investigation, part storytelling, and part deep dive into the unknown. If you’re here for grounded cases, strange creatures, or the uneasy middle ground between fact and folklore, this one sits right in that zone. —————- https://open.spotify.com/show/5n87txpwvPUoU7yCA8K95u ———- Know more.
