Summary

A return trip to Holbrook, Arizona, brings one longtime listener back to an old haunt—literally. While revisiting the historic jailhouse where he used to perform reenactments, he stumbles across something he never noticed before: a sinister symbol scrawled in the far back cell. With graffiti ranging from threatening messages to demonic drawings, this jail—site of Holbrook’s first and only hanging has always felt off. But the discovery of a star-in-circle pictogram leads him to believe something darker may have been unleashed. Despite warning the caretaker, he’s brushed off. But as a sensitive to the paranormal, he knows better—some things written in walls shouldn’t be ignored.
