In between main episodes we try to sprinkle in a little Ashwood \"flavor.\" These bonus files are not required listening to follow the main story but we think you will find them interesting. The particularly astutue may find some helpful info buried in these. Maybe our cast should listen to these, too......
This clip comes from an undisclosed archive in Ashwood. A 2 a.m. call on Old Fen Road leads Ashwood PD to a silent teenage girl wearing a St. Sebastian’s uniform, despite the school having closed in 1979. When the officer attempts to take her home, the road begins to distort, looping and folding in on itself as local geography changes and reality slips. What starts as a routine welfare check becomes something far stranger...where time, memory, and place refuse to stay in line.
From the Creator:
Echoes under Ashwood is more than a horror story...it is a deeply personal piece of autofiction. The slow-burn dread, the isolation of the rural Midwestern setting, and the unresolved history of the Gen X cast are directly informed by my own childhood trauma, processed and reframed through the lens of cosmic horror. This is an exploration of what it takes to look into the dark, face old ghosts, and survive the aftermath.
About Echoes under Ashwood: This is an audio-only cosmic horror podcast set in rural southeastern Ohio. Our story is a slow-burn analog mystery rooted in psychological dread, following a Gen X cast through an investigative narrative. While the story is completely improvised, the framework is heavily inspired by investigative tabletop RPG systems like Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green.
