Episode 179 – Broiled Rats – The Mysterious Disappearance of James Sheaffer

For most people, a cemetery is a place to pay last respects to a loved one, to grieve a loss, or revisit a bittersweet memory of a happier time.

For others, it’s a place of fear – full of superstitions and terrors.

Whether or not you’re a believer in superstitions, there’s no question that a cemetery isn’t exactly your normal location for a casual meeting. But in the early morning hours of April 3rd, 2013, two people pulled into the Osteen cemetery in Deltona Florida to have a little chat…only one of them left alive.
