For this years Halloween celebration, Jack “The Agnostic”Garcia travels back to the bygone days of The Wild West and recites three miraculous, supernatural and macabre stories that were once told around the light of the campfires by grizzled prospectors weary cowboys and native americans alike. First off, its The Lady in Blue – a miraculous tale of a young 17th century Spanish nun ( Maria de Agreda) who each and every night goes into an ecstatic trance while her soul travels across the Atlantic and appears as an apparition descending from the sky to several Native American tribes. Gently urging them to summon the priests and become baptized into the one true faith. Next up, its the tongue in cheek cautionary supernatural story from the Blackfoot nation of the Northwest, The Manwolf – a tale of an aging brave who cannot control his two wives. His young and pretty wives are unfaithful and plot to kill him , but things don’t work out as they had planned as the aging braveĀ becomes transformed into an angry shapeshifter seeking revenge. And last but not least , its the macabre true story of the legendary mountain man Jeremiah Johnson. A much different tale than the one told in the sanitized 1972 Robert Redford film. For Johnson was both a serial killer and a cannibal whose troubled mind snaps after the grisly murder of his beloved wife. The original american man of vengeance , Johnson fought a one man war against the entire Crow nation, not only killing hundreds of Crow warriors but also feasting on their livers.
