surprised that I know who that is?
Steve StocktonHOST
He was never seen again, and just as quickly as the voices started manifesting, they abruptly stopped, and he was never heard from again either.
Steve StocktonHOST
Some people believe that the inability to corroborate any details in the Lang story is the reason so many still consider it to be just a retelling of an old fiction story written by popular author Ambrose Bierce back in the day.
Steve StocktonHOST
While the story itself is unreliable, with no record even of a David Lang or a Judge Peck anywhere in the county of Sumner, The similarities in the above cases is undeniable, however, and the Ashmoors did exist and young Christian did go missing.
Steve StocktonHOST
It's a matter of historical record.

be baptized.
William J GrimmGUEST
The American satirist Ambrose Bierce was not all wrong when he defined a saint as a dead sinner revised and edited.
William J GrimmGUEST
To be told to honor this, that, or the other saint, no problem.
William J GrimmGUEST
But to honor all saints, that's a bit much to swallow.
Mary FincherHOST
It is the battle that Oliver Otis Howard will describe as being a, quote, nightmare.
Mary FincherHOST
And it's the one that Ambrose Bierce, who we've discussed on, I think, our first Halloween Spooktacular, Darren discussed Ambrose Bierce.

A note on our game system.
Kyle Decker-PittsHOST
For those uninitiated, the Call of Cthulhu system is an investigative horror role-playing game that uses the works of H.P. Lovecraft, Ambrose Bierce, and other authors as a basis for its stories.

It employs the D100 as its primary dice for rolling and operates off of a percentile system.

E.G. MarshallHOST
Just what do the two injured ladies intend to do? We'll find out when I return with Act Two.
