Published: May 10, 2024, 12:41 a.m.

IN THIS EPISODE: It\u2019s Thriller Thursday \u2013 and this week I\u2019m bringing you three tales of fiction. I\u2019ll share a short story that has been described as "one of the most famous and frequently anthologized stories in American literature" \u2013 it\u2019s \u201cAn Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge\u201d by the legendary Ambrose Bierce, from 1890. I have a classic creepypasta from 2016 that many people mistakenly believe is a true story because it is so well written. It\u2019s \u201cThe Strange Case of Edmonson Kentucky\u201d by Joe Terrell. But first, it\u2019s a short story of fiction as told by one of the hardest-working writers I know, as she is always posting new stories on Facebook: Christina Skelton. It\u2019s a story from April 2020 titled simply, \u201cThe Ghost Bus\u201d.
