EP: 411 Breaking the Spirit of Suicide *members only trailer

Ashley's father was not a storyteller. He didn't chase the supernatural, and he wasn't the kind of guy to make things up. So when he told his daughter about the night he encountered a three-foot, gray-skinned, hairless creature standing upright in the road outside the family barn on the Oregon coast, she believed him. The thing had no distinguishable face, moved like nothing natural, and when he followed it into the brush, it seemed to shimmer and phase in and out of visibility. He called it the Hellcat after the trail behind his parents' property, and the story stuck with Ashley long after her father passed away in 2016.

What unfolds from there is a deeply personal conversation about generational spiritual warfare, from a hex placed on her dad in Southern California to Freemasonry in the family line, a spirit of suicide that plagued multiple people in her life, familiar spirits operating in the homes she lived in with her young daughter, and a childhood moment where God shielded her from an exploding pot of grease that covered the entire kitchen but never touched her skin. Ashley also shares how a dream about the hive mind led her to Blurry Creatures and how she's now doing the hard work of breaking generational cycles for her family. Raw, heavy, and full of hope.
