In 1928 rural Pennsylvania, three men convinced a reclusive powwow healer was cursing their lives. What began as a midnight plan to steal a spellbook ends in a brutal killing and an attempted arson — but the fire mysteriously won’t finish the job. The subsequent trial, headlines, and rumors turn the site into the infamous Hex Hollow, blurring the line between folklore and reality.
This episode explores the folk-magic tradition of powwow, the desperation that drove ordinary men to violence, and the haunting legacy left behind when superstition and tragedy collide.
