In tonight's dead letter, listener Dean takes us to his
grandmother's old Victorian house in a region of Scott’s home
state of North Carolina known as the Sandhills. His family has
traded strange stories about the family home for generations,
from slamming doors in an empty house to a lady in white under
the apple tree. He spent years as the family skeptic, right up
until he started helping his aunt sort through the massive
Americana collection left behind by her late husband we’ll
simply call ‘D’, a mechanic with a passion for old gas
pumps, slot cars, and vintage toys. A series of events that
were too strange to chalk up to coincidence finally convinced
Dean that something unexplained was going on, and frankly…we
agree.
