Spread the love

This week, we’re discussing another home-state legend. In 1899, (or 1901, depending on which source you reference), Dr. John and Jessie Gibbons purchased the house from the original owners, Dr. George and Sarah White. Dr. John and Jessie Gibbons reportedly adopted abandoned/orphaned children. One of these children, a 10-year-old girl named Rachael, started a fire in the front parlor, being badly burned, and died two days later in one of the upstairs bedrooms. But, according to tales told all around the country, you can still hear, and sometimes see, her running around the house today…

 

Campfire: Tales of the Strange and Unsettling is created for adult audiences only. The content and discussion in this show will necessarily engage with various accounts that include violence, anxiety, fear, and occasional body horror. Much of it will be emotionally and intellectually challenging to engage with. We will flag especially graphic or intense content so as to never put you in an uninformed or unprepared position. We will do our best to make this a space where we can engage bravely, empathetically, and thoughtfully with difficult content every week.

High-Stress Situations

Child Death
