Listen "94. The Witch Diggers"
Episode Synopsis
The Bichshler Witch Diggers were a group of three siblings - Nick, Sam, and Susan Bischler - who lived in Indiana in the mid-19th century. The siblings claimed to be plagued by "witches" and became consumed with the idea that they were being haunted by them. This led to a period of monomania, during which the siblings dug a ditch so deep and wide that folks from around the farm, had no choice but to finally notice the mania. The story became a local legend, and the Bischler Witch Diggers are now remembered as an eerie example of the dangers of obsession and superstition. Is there anything paranormal to this story, or is this a case of mental instability brought on by PTSD and childhood trauma?
