Strange Trails

Colton Woods•www.strangetrailspodcast.com

Finn Mitchell and his best friend Omari Mason travel to a rural town in West Virginia to investigate folklore about a serial killer there known as the Shadow Man. Early on, they meet Ava Cook, whose personal experience with the Shadow Man reels them in to stay and find out more. They work together with her, and as they dig deeper they find more about the town than they’d anticipated. Welcome to Strange Trails, a fictional investigation based on the format and style of 'Serial'.
