For this special Halloween episode we have two tales for you listeners. These legendary tales have been told by firelight for many years and tonight you'll hear Nash Wilders interpretation of them. Hope you're ready for a double dose of frontier frights. First we ride into the moonlit mesquite of South Texas where a headless apparition has been spotted wanderin the range atop a pale horse. Then we venture to Eldorado Canyon, where howling can be heard on the wind more than usual. They say the canyon is haunted by spirits of a different sort; the kind with four legs and stinky breath. Happy Halloween folks, see you by the fireside.

Cooper Shay's soul hangs on by a thread thinner than silk as the black-eyed spirits close in on him. The wicked truth behind their arrival finally claws through the surface -- blood soaked, bitter, and older than the ranch itself. Cooper must face his sins buried in Tahquitz Canyon and decide whether redemption is worth the price of damnation. By sunrise, Hangin' S Ranch will be silent once more... but not all ghosts rest easy.

What has become of Cooper Shay since we last left him? The house sits quiet beneath a bruised sky, but something still moves behind its windows. As whispers echo through the halls of the decrepit home, pieces of Cooper's past begin to claw their way to the surface; old sins buried beneath dust and blood. What did Coot do to summon the dead to his doorstep? And if he is still in that house... what's left of him now? The truth smolders in the dark, waiting to burn itself free.

On a forgotten stretch of high country sits Hangin' S Ranch, where Cooper Shay spends his final years confined to a wheelchair haunted by silence. But that silence doesn't last long. Strange figures with black, empty eyes began to appear beyond the windows of his ranch home -- watching, waiting, whispering his name. As the nights grow longer, the boundaries between the living and the dead begin to blur, and the question of why they have come for him gnaws at what is left of his mind. A tale of guilt, ghosts, and the debts that a man can't outrun, no matter how far he wheels himself away.
