I am the fairy

0:02

man. I

0:04

am here in the

0:06

in between.

0:10

In the shadows of the afterlife, where time

0:12

stands still. The ferrymen of souls

0:14

guides America's most influential spirits

0:17

to their eternal rest. You've been looking

0:19

for me? Yeah, where are you taking

0:21

me?

0:23

Are you death? This road

0:27

is not on any maps.

0:29

So bizarre the.

0:29

World holds more than mere imagination

0:32

can contain. It stretches beyond

0:35

identity.

0:36

Do you even know who I am

0:38

and my reflection? I have

0:40

only a shadow and out law shore

0:43

I am there.

0:43

I was an emperor of the dark.

0:46

I was a real Actress's all

0:48

I ever wanted to be.

0:49

I saw my reflection in the waters, and I

0:52

saw a different face staring back

0:54

at me. On a course

0:56

designed by its travelers,

0:59

it spans the thresholds

1:01

between their most forbidden desires.

1:04

We all know sorrow. We deserve to

1:06

take what's ours and their greatest

1:10

fears.

1:10

One year, one century,

1:13

or the next. This will be our

1:15

ruin. How much for a ticket?

1:18

All I ask for in payment is

1:20

a tale and accounting of

1:22

their lives and the great temporary

1:25

that is the land of the living.

1:28

Tales of triumph and tragedy, you

1:31

want a blood story, moments

1:33

that shook the foundation of a nation, and

1:35

the ripples they left behind.

1:37

I am here to collect their spirits

1:39

and carry them to what comes next.

1:42

Be it a comfortable place

1:45

of eternal light, a

1:47

haunted purgatory of regret,

1:51

or I should be made to suffer

1:53

one of the nine rings of hell.

2:01

Join us on a journey through the veils of history

2:03

and the corridors of the afterlife. Is

2:06

that and the fog up there seems

2:09

part flesh, part shadow, where

2:11

the souls of America's past revealed

2:13

their deepest secrets.

2:14

The monsters are

2:17

real.

2:17

In the most profound legacies.

2:19

Fifty years of new stories.

2:21

Using my face, let me.

2:22

Play you the songs that the devil told me. These

2:25

are their stories.

2:27

Each episode a new spirit, a

2:29

new story, a new revelation about the

2:32

threads that weave the tapestry of American

2:34

culture.

2:34

They were running from the truth, and

2:36

it was too late for them, for all

2:38

of us.

2:39

These are the tales that shaped the nation. Babies

2:42

were born and died, aunties and grandfathers,

2:45

and left by the side of the trail.

2:47

The devastation those first bombs cost.

2:51

Then I told them they were drinking sya

2:54

Ide The Passage,

2:56

the podcast where history meets the afterlife.

3:00

The voices of West study at least

3:02

four thousand people died on the trail,

3:05

Martin Starr. President Nixon called

3:07

me the most dangerous man

3:09

in America. Scott Hayes. Next thing I

3:11

know, I'm standing over the bodies of Baker Morton,

3:14

my pistol smoking in my hand, and Tristan

3:16

Macwilde's.

3:17

I've never been to Hell, but I know intimately

3:20

The Hymns of the Damned.
