{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Hello, James.","description":"In tonight's dead letter, our listener TM was the office manager at a Catholic parish in the upper Mississippi river area, and part of her job was digitizing the cemetery's paper records, so she'd walk the rows with a camera, say hello to everyone, and tell them what she was there to do. One marker sat outside the cemetery’s plot map entirely: a boy who drowned in the river in 1936, with fresh flowers by his stone and no file in the office. One July afternoon, someone or something unseen let her know it was there.\n\nRelevant Prior Episodes\n\nEp 247: Massacre at Duffy's Cut Part 1\nAstonishing Legends (https://astonishinglegends.com/al-podcasts/2022/11/26/ep-247-massacre-at-duffys-cut-part-1) · Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/episode/75kmmcRQ3GXOMIH93Jrfzj) · Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/massacre-at-duffys-cut-part-1/id923527373?i=1000587582014)\n\nEp 317: The Screaming Skulls\nAstonishing Legends (https://astonishinglegends.com/al-podcasts/2025/09/27/ep-317-the-screaming-skulls) · Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2oIyqFO39dtH43e9aVrsSD) · Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-screaming-skulls/id923527373?i=1000728744673)\n\nEp 85: The Bell Witch Part 1\nAstonishing Legends (https://astonishinglegends.com/al-podcasts/2017/10/08/ep-85-the-bell-witch-part-1) · Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/episode/3vs8HMK0RYkaKramySxzkR) · Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/astonishing-legends/id923527373?i=1000393231415)\n\nEp 123: The Sallie House: Ghost in the Machine Part 1\nAstonishing Legends (https://astonishinglegends.com/al-podcasts/2018/10/28/ep-123-the-sallie-house-ghost-in-the-machine-part-1) · Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/episode/20PwwC2p9Kq97H7yX370kO) · Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/astonishing-legends/id923527373?i=1000422764496)\n\nEp 4: Amelia Earhart Vanishes Part 1\nAstonishing Legends (https://astonishinglegends.com/al-podcasts/2016/12/10/ep-004-amelia-earhart-vanishes-part-1) · Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/episode/5qzdOH7LKC31cKFuK5GHTu) · Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/astonishing-legends/id923527373?i=1000352822386)\n\nLinks and Further Reading\n\nCatechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 1032 (Vatican.va) (https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P2N.HTM)\n\nSt. John Chrysostom (Britannica) (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-John-Chrysostom)\n\nAll Souls' Day (Catholic Encyclopedia, New Advent) (https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01315b.htm)\n\nColumbarium (Merriam-Webster) (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/columbarium)\n\nDuffy's Cut (Wikipedia) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duffy%27s_Cut)\n\nHistoric Bell Witch Cave, Adams, Tennessee (https://www.bellwitchcave.com/)\n\nElectronic Voice Phenomena: An Overview (Astonishing Legends blog) (https://astonishinglegends.com/astonishing-legends/2019/10/31/electronic-voice-phenomena-an-overview)\n\nStahl House, Case Study House #22 (LA Conservancy) (https://www.laconservancy.org/learn/historic-places/stahl-house-case-study-house-22/)\n\nScared All The Time (podcast) (https://open.spotify.com/show/5mH0DewGZuJpIL3NYDjxCv)\n\nWe're looking for more stories!
