## Resource

In this episode on the Cult of Conspiracy, our newest CWS host, Lacey, sits down with Rachael Speer for a conversation rooted in Appalachian folklore, family warnings, and the things that move just beyond the edge of the firelight. Rachael shares the paranormal experiences that shaped her childhood, including the shadow men she encountered and the unsettling moments that have followed her ever since. Together, they explore fear, memory, inherited stories, and what happens when the legends you grow up hearing begin to appear in your own life. And remember… if you heard something in the woods, no you didn’t.
