Episode 184 - The Post
Summary
John, a Tennessee engineer, recounts discovering a mysterious T-post in his woods and encountering a shimmering, humanoid shadow that jumps between trees. After hearing unexplained footsteps and feeling a sudden wave of fear, he learns from a cartographer that the post marks a grave. John briefly digs near the site before stopping, then repairs the post to show respect. He now coexists peacefully with the entity, believing it is bound to the property, and shares his story with host Jack Wagner.
