ShortHand: The Sallie House
In the sleepy town of Atchison, Kansas, stands the Sallie House: an unassuming home with a dark reputation as the USA’s most haunted. Allegedly playing host to a creepy little girl spirit named ‘Sallie’ that drove a young family out of the house back in the 90s, today the story is cemented in urban legend. But how much of it is really true?
Join us as we dig through a ghostly toy box full of pigtailed demons, psychic supernannies and a cross-dressing Victorian ice skater, in this week’s spooky ShortHand.
