Episode 12 – Originally Released in 2016
I love a good legend. I believe the legends hold some element of truth to them. For example I don’t believe in unicorns today, but is it possible that hundreds or even thousands of years ago there was some weird horse like creature with a horn on it’s head? Sure I think that’s possible.
Recently I’d been researching some Philly and Pennsylvania legends, trying to pick something that might be a little less well known when I stumbled upon a legend I knew – but it wasn’t familiar to me because of where the legend originated, it was familiar to me because I heard this story when I was about 6 years old, and I heard happened somewhere else.
This is the story of a crazy, creepy, bizarre park with stories of ghosts and princesses, of lost love and hairy little men. All that weirdness in one spot? You bet, after all this is Twisted Philly.
TwistedPhilly is researched, hosted and produced by me, Deana Marie, and available biweekly wherever you listen to podcasts.
