The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Afterlife
Welcome to Homespun Haints, the storytelling podcast about ghosts where we interview people who have witnessed something paranormal! Today’s guest, Shawnna, is a fellow podcaster: she and her co-host Kristel host The Round Room, an oc-culture podcast. If you like your spooky paranormal with a side of true crime, go check it out.
Episode Summary
Shawnna has always been sensitive to specters, as she learned from living in 2 haunted houses in Detroit as a kid. But none of that could’ve prepared her for the truly bizarre experience she and some girlfriends had one eerie night while attempting some light ghost summoning in the Indiana woods. Imagine yourself in the car with them, that night at the bridge…what would YOU have done, if you’d suddenly realized there was a fifth girl who wanted a ride, and she wouldn’t take “no” for an answer? Would you see this podcast episode’s story as evidence of ghost existence?

About Shawnna

The Edna Collings Bridge
Although Shawnna had heard the story of the Edna Collings Bridge deep in the dark Greencastle, Indiana woods, where little Edna and her dog are still waiting for her parents to pick them up after swimming. Shawnna wasn’t so sure she believed the urban legends surrounding this spooky landmark…but sometimes (like this time), the first-hand experience is more shocking than the hype! Would you honk 3 times?
Until next time, beware of hitchhiking ghosts, and have a spooky day!
