Send us Fan Mail This week Ian brings us into the piedmont of our home state to look at an area that has been talked about for centuries. Out in the woods of Chatham County NC is a circle of barren ground that can not grow plants. There is some grass these days, but no trees, no flowers, nothing other than the hardiest of grasses. What is it about this place that can grow nothing? Are the rumors o...

Send us Fan Mail I'm real damn sorry about this one folks. Of all the dark evil cults I could have covered, this has got to be the worse one to date, and for that, I am truly sorry.

After being kicked out of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, he built a community where he and his followers would...
