Welcome to episode 7, season 5 of the I Want to Believe podcast!

A long time ago, in the 19th century, there was a man named Jack Johnston. He was a lumberjack from the small town of Millinocket, Maine. One Sunday morning while fishing, he found that he was unable to catch anything. He became so distraught that he ended up cursing everything around him. This included the land, God and Satan… After his tirade… he felt a tug on his line… Kyle will fill you in on the whole story in a moment.

Before we jump into the episode, we wanted to provide the I Want to Believe social media & email links.

My brand-new book, We Only Come Out at Night, is now available for purchase. This book is a collection of short horror stories and can be found online at: SlevikStore.Company.Site and at the Green Hand Bookshop.
