Homegrown HorrorA Homegrown Finale: It's Not Goodbye, It's See You LaterIt’s so bittersweet. We deeply appreciate all of you who have joined us and listened to this project and labor of love over the years. With over 140 episodes of Maine-based true crime, paranormal, and spooky stories (and 40+ bonus episodes!), we are proud of what we have accomplished and what we came here to create.

Super fun movies, both well grounded in their unique time periods.
That's it. The last bonus episode. This is Jackson editing, and on behalf of B, Allegra, Emilie, Anna, Binx, and all our other friends who encouraged us along the way, thanks for listening. 2024-10-311h 51Homegrown HorrorA Case of Deja Vu: Tummy Troubles Part 2**Content warning: This episode does contain brief discussion around suicide. Listener discretion is advised.**
B's throwing it back to an old case she started to research earlier this year - it's now Hattie Whitten's time to shine! But, her story isn't all that it seems and *spoiler alert* Jackson isn't happy about the ending.
