In this episode of Slice of the Paranormal, we head to Easton, Pennsylvania in search of a local legend: a cannibalistic Goblin Monk—rumored to be a murderous holy man whose twisted creed led him to a noose... and a monstrous transformation.

Our strange journey takes us to:
🪦 Easton Cemetery, home of the mysterious White Lady ghost
📚 Easton Public Library, possibly built over a graveyard, and where we unexpectedly find the grave of a woman known as “Mammy”—believed by some to be the White Lady herself
🍕 Nicolosi’s Pizzeria, a horror-themed pizza shop serving up slices with a side of spook

Is the library really haunted? Does a goblin stalk the cemetery at night? And why is Mammy buried beneath books?

Join us as we explore Easton’s haunted past, local ghost stories, and one of the most bizarre legends in Pennsylvania folklore.

We explore the origins of the panic, its rise in American pop culture, and how it targeted everything from heavy metal music to comic books, and especially Dungeons & Dragons.

Joining us is Ryan Castle, owner of Celestial Waters—a tabletop gaming and hobby store in Sunbury, Pennsylvania—to share insight on how the panic warped public perception of role-playing games like D&D.

We also break down:

• How false accusations spread through talk shows, churches, and news media

• Why Dungeons & Dragons was unfairly linked to the occult

• The long-term effects on youth culture, creativity, and fandom

• How D&D became a safe and welcoming community for teens and adults after the panic faded

By the 1990s, the Satanic Panic had lost steam—but its bizarre legacy still echoes today.
