Summary

Jean from Houston shares a deeply personal story about her great-grandfather, Hoppy, and his haunting presence after his death. Built on family history, this tale begins with Hoppy's mysterious axe, which was hidden from him before his sudden passing. Years later, the axe reappears under strange circumstances, leading to a series of paranormal events in the family home. Jean and her sister experience a terrifying yet touching visitation from Hoppy’s spirit, where he appears to say a final goodbye.

Branson, Missouri in a small town named Monette.

And it actually takes place in the house that my great-grandfather built.

0:43.3

And I apologize in advance if it seems like this is a bit long,

0:46.3

but there's actually several parts that tie together.
