Every year, Stantonville gathers under the full moon to honor the life of little Mister Grannit—the boy whose death gave rise to one of the city’s oldest traditions.

Tonight, I sat down with Harriet Moore—a celebrated anthropologist in Afro-folklore—who swears her family’s encounters with the dead are not stories, but history. From whispered rituals to a night that changed her lineage forever, Harriet’s tale blurs the line between faith, ancestry, and something far more dangerous.

But when a voice note arrives from her old college roommate… everything we thought we knew about Harriet starts to unravel.

Listener Warning: This episode contains themes of grief, loss, and emotional manipulation through mourning. Please take care while listening.
