WE HAVE MADE IT TO DOUBLE DIGITS

The roads less traveled in rural Georgia harbor dark secrets and unexplained phenomena that continue to chill even the most skeptical visitors. This week, host Billy Shadow welcomes his son Isaac Johnson to share bone-chilling encounters from their experiences exploring the haunted backroads of the Peach State.

Isaac takes us on a nighttime journey to "The Seven Churches," an abandoned collection of church buildings where local legends speak of Bibles that become too heavy to remove and ghostly women in white who vanish as you approach. The father-son duo discuss a particularly unsettling experience where Isaac and his friends encountered what locals call "the black car" – a phantom vehicle with headlights clearly visible to some witnesses while completely invisible to others in the same group.

The conversation deepens as we explore Cell City cemetery, with its ominous division between ordinary graves and disturbing tombstones bound with X-shaped chains meant to trap malevolent spirits. Isaac recounts how he and seven friends simultaneously experienced a shocking auditory phenomenon that sent them fleeing in terror – a moment that validated years of local folklore about the site's supernatural energy.

Billy contributes his own childhood memory of squeezing through a bent mausoleum door in Americus Cemetery, where an unexplained loud bang sent him and his friend running for their lives. The discussion turns darker when they examine the tragic history behind Lee Bell Bridge (Three Bridges Road), where a murdered cheerleader's spirit allegedly prevents visitors from starting their vehicles – mirroring her own fatal car trouble on the night of her death.

From the allegedly haunted Windsor Hotel to their mutual appreciation for horror cinema, this intimate conversation reveals how supernatural beliefs permeate Southern culture and create bonds across generations. Whether you're a believer in the paranormal or simply enjoy a good ghost story, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse into Georgia's haunted landscape and the very human desire to peek beyond the veil between worlds.
