In the woods outside Pittsburgh, the trees don’t forget.

Dead Man’s Hollow is a forgotten corner of American folklore—a forest woven with paranormal stories, unsolved deaths, and ghostly legends that stretch back more than a century.

Join host Robert Barber as he explores this haunted Pennsylvania hollow, tracing disappearances, strange sightings, and a silence that feels almost alive.

Part of our haunted places podcast series, this episode is for anyone who believes the land itself can hold memory.
