The actor at the start of this ep doing the distressed voice about the boys that died was incredibly talented. It sounded like real grief. Good work on his part!!

The boom of piano right after "Then, light." at 24:27 startled me so bad that I knocked over my drink

This is so far the best Chapter. Vengeance, family. Vengeance

I'm too familiar with all these locations, and grew up hearing Dark as a Dungeon, and Blue Tattoo of the No 9 Coal, 16 Tons, and Harlan County, so I was already crying 5 minutes in. This means a lot.

I'm totally immersed in this story line and channel. Amazing, haunting and so well written and the narrators, actors are talented. Well done. Rukhsana in England.

this episode was so chilling. all those poor boys with their lives cut short...haunting.

Ok, DAMN. This is the best one so far, and that's a high bar

7 is always enough

Disappointing that this has so few views. This is a masterpiece

I started listening to the latest season and of course decided to go back and catch up from the beginning while I'm waiting for a new episode...I'm gonna be sad when I'm all caught up and have to wait for new content like everybody else lol

This is my favourite episode yet!.

My favourite episode so far

It mentions Morganton in this story. Morganton, NC?! That’s where I’m from!

As others have said, this is the best episode so far. The piano at the end sent chills down my spine

i.... feel a little bad for myrtle? like her family was "drunk and violent" and she was fucked up enough to kill her own brother when she was 12 over a sucker... actually, thinking about it, when i first listened to this, i thought the boy was something like a spirit of vengeance, and i think he might be, but i think he might also be a sort of survivor's guilt. myrtle is implied to have not wanted to KILL her brother, exactly, and earl might be a jerk but neither of the two fires we really see (avalon and barlo) seem to have been directly his fault (with avalon the narrator explicitly said that people assumed it was his fault but never confirmed it, and we already know barlo was cletus's fault, if any human's), and he clearly doesn't feel good about it. i think it's even more interesting that the boy seems to mostly target individuals who were physically present during the deaths rather than the larger structures behind his tragedies. it's like... idk it feels like a good representation of the way kids view the world, and i think it's neat that a haint that's whole shtick is being boys who died too young while doing men's work talks like a man but acts like a child.

Agreeing.. this was the best episode yet.

Maybe my favorite episode so far, although I’m just now catching up. Bit of a Rod Serling vibe with the topics you cover, and I mean that in the best way.

This is one of my favorite episodes. I love the Boy

Excellent! Looking forward to more. So glad I'm immersed in this world

Love they way this podcast is freaking love it

Good stuff. New die hard fan.

This was really good!

Hold on, The Boy killed 51 other men and ended up killing dozens of other boys who had nothing to do with Earl, and unleashed...those things, just to get at one guy? Seems counter-intuitive to me...But what do I know about the thought processes of a spirit of vengeance...

The one town, is it morgantown? or am i miss hearing it.
