Summary
Astonishing Legends host Corey recounts a true story from 2000, when he was an overnight Top 40 radio host in Omaha, Nebraska, and a call-in segment about haunted places kept pointing to one private family cemetery. He sent a carload of listeners there on a Friday night to report live on air, and days later the cemetery's caretakers called his boss. From there the story grew stranger, touching on church grims, death figures like the Ankou and the Grim Reaper, and classic apparition research.
