Hi, my name is Peter Harrington. I recently moved to a small town called Hemlock west Virginia. It sits on the border of the Idlewood Wilderness, home of the Sycamore Trail-- a US long trail that attracts hiker from across the globe. I often hear odd stories from these hikers and share them on the show. The local librarian Flora found a box of movies that we review, but we cant find any trace of where they came from, but we summarize them and review them nonetheless. Please enjoy!
