VERY SPOOKY HOMETOWNS | Your Urban Legends 27

We ask important questions with these hometowns. Are all ghosts just pranksters? How much spooky stuff has to happen to create A FAMILY LORE? Rediscovering a ghost son, the spookiness of bad infrastructure, an accusatory phone call, and thankfully, a palate cleanser. 

This week, Amanda recommends Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentino
