Red Heads In History & Kids In The Mail

Travel Story: Beware of Highway 78

DISCLAIMER: In the episode, I mention one of these stories is funny and you can quickly hear me going from giggles to shock.  I must have a bad memory from when I first heard the stories told to me because both are horror stories, and the fact they are true is horror itself. Alabama is a beautiful place in many ways, but this episode will have you wondering what you would do in the same situations and what happens on long country roads with no one watching. Pour yourself some tea and join Grandma Lollie again for southern tales from the past on her experience driving on old Alabama Highway 78 in the 1950s; a primetime for ghost stories and terrifying encounters with the infamous KKK.  Spotify Link [https://open.spotify.com/show/6Gfk2meDfzfmJIxybvoE6c?si=c21eddd208d042f6] Apple Podcasts Link [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/culture-cult-travel-show/id1603662928] Find more about show notes, sources, and travel tips from this episode on our instagram: @culturecultshow Send in your travel stories, corrections or comments to culturecultshow@gmail.com [culturecultshow@gmail.com] Subscribe, Rate, and Review!  You know you want to..
