Intro

The transcription introduces "Tales from the Thicket" hosted by Kay Lynn, exploring shadowy realms and haunting stories from Southeast Texas. The setting is described with eerie details of moss-covered trees and sinister tales. The first story shared is about the Piney Woods Witch, an ancient and chilling legend that never reached a conclusion. Listeners are advised to stay cautious and not follow flickering lanterns off the path. Welcome to Tales from the Thicket. I'm Kay Lynn, your guide through the shadowy realms, the forgotten corners of the world, and the haunting stories that drift through the ancient pines. I grew up in the heart of Southeast Texas, where gnarled, moss-covered trees stand sentinel over muddy rivers that twist like serpents through the landscape. Some things linger here like morning mist. Some are just old wives' tales faded with time, but others carry a chilling truth, a darkness that still stirs just beneath the surface. The first tale I share with you tonight is one of the oldest and eeriest I've ever encountered, perhaps because it never truly reached its conclusion. So, find a comfortable spot, dim your lights, and a word of caution. Don't follow any flickering lanterns that lead you off the path. This is the story of the Piney Woods Witch.
