S2 Ep29: The Boy Who Wanted her Hand

In tonight's dead letter, listener Mary is on a ghost tour in Key West when the guide stands her group under an old, unmarked movie marquee and asks them what happened there. Before he says another word, Mary smells smoke. The story he tells the group involves a church fire, and more strange events unfold from there.Relevant Prior EpisodesConjuring Philip Part 1The True Story behind the Conjuring Part 1Resurrection Mary Part 1The Count of St Germain Part 1Links and Further ReadingGreat Fire of Key West (1886) — WikipediaOur History — St. Paul's Episcopal Church of Key WestStrand Theater, 527 Duval Street — Cinema TreasuresSan Carlos Institute — WikipediaChicago Hauntings: The Horrors of the Iroquois Theater Fire That Killed 602 People Downtown in 1903 — CBS ChicagoAmerican Ghost Walks — the ghost tour company the hosts recommendDowsing — BritannicaThe Philip Experiment — WikipediaWe're looking for more stories!
