Ep 10 – The Black Door Part III

The Chicago Spire has returned, a woman received an ominous hourglass, and Mike is in “The Script” – are you? On Today In Odd America we’re told of a forgotten figure from the 19th century – someone familiar yet different to another we’ve heard of before. And in the latter half of our show, we once again talk to Amanda – who’s still haunted by The Black Door.
