Spooked features true-life supernatural stories, told firsthand by people who can barely believe it happened themselves. Be afraid. Created in the dark of night...
Choogie has been visiting old structures on the reservation looking for evidence of spirits ever since he could drive, but there is one place he’s never been ready to visit until now at age 20, the old churchyard. The building was torn down decades ago, but he was told by a church elder that what he’s looking for, it’s still there. He just has to turn the doorknob.Thanks so much to Cherokee National Treasure, Choogie Kingfisher, for sharing your story with us! Produced by Chris Hambrick, original score by Yari Bundy, artwork by Teo Ducot.
