The Owl Witch

​It's happening again …

44 years ago, a small group of miners went missing in Maryland’s Aragain Mountains. Twin sisters Leslie and Luann Montrose travel to Atlas at the foothills of Aragain Mountain to unravel the mystery and find themselves in the middle of a police investigation. Two missing hikers, a missing town resident, and four dead in the span of four days. Is there a connection? What the twins find in the woods could make a chilling addition to their Delmarva folklore podcast—if they make it out alive!

The House on Woody Creek Lane

From the moment he saw his first shade, Jimmy Hobart knew he was different. Special—that’s what his mother called him. He didn’t feel special, carrying a secret he couldn’t share with anyone else. Burdened would be more accurate. But it was his gift that eventually led him to Roni and showed him she was the one. He thought he could trust her with his secret. He thought he could tell her anything … He wished he had.
 
The presence on Woody Creek Lane wasn’t like the others he’d encountered. This one wanted something. Will Jimmy figure out what that is before it’s too late?
