Where Legend Meets Danger: When “Ghost Cars” And Human Threats Blur With Co-host Carissa
Manage episode 517630750 series 3450446
A midnight hunt for a forgotten Michigan cemetery turned into a moment we still feel in our bones. No cell service, sand like beach dunes, and a parked car with no plates—then a stranger urging us to follow her up a cliff toward train tracks. Curiosity met instinct, and instinct won. The next day, locals led us in the right way, proving the “shortcut” could have trapped us with no exit. That’s the story we came to tell: when legend meets risk, and the smartest move is retreat.
From there we take you down Blood Road, where Michigan folklore speaks of rituals, warnings, and a “ghost car” that chases in the dark. Ours was a blacked-out SUV that toyed with us—lights on, lights off, tight on the bumper—before vanishing on a straight stretch. Was it human menace, paranormal mischief, or both? We break down the evidence, the timelines, and the gut checks that keep us honest. We also share a wild photo from another cemetery: an old car appearing where no vehicle could drive, and a curl of smoke rising from the ground like the earth itself breathed.
If you love haunted Michigan, true crime chills, and the messy edge where folklore touches real life, ride along. We talk research plans for winter deep dives, why back roads create perfect cover for danger and myth, and how to keep your team safe while still chasing the strange. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves ghost stories with teeth, and leave a review telling us: would you have followed that car—or hit reverse like we did?
