On the night of May 10, 2007, three boys entered a cave in Mantawauk County, Tennessee. Only one made it out alive. The other two were found ten days later. They had been attacked by someone - or something. The investigation that followed revealed town secrets as old as the caves themselves and put a third teenage boy, James Fincher, on death row. This haunting narrative follows Julien Solas, an amateur writer and James' friend who’s been haunted by the events ever since. Now, with Fincher's execution looming, Julien returns home to reconcile his past and uncover the truth behind the killings.
Created by filmmaker Dan Bush, The Mantawauk Caves is a riveting, immersive, binaural audio experience that weaves together the narrative threads of social drama, supernatural horror, and psychological thriller. A co-production of Blumhouse Television, iHeartPodcasts, and Psychopia Pictures. Starring Jonathan Tucker (Westworld) and Edi Gathegi (The Harder They Fall).

One of the best audio fiction presentations I’ve heard all year. Star-studded cast. Immersive sound design. Excellent pacing. Listen. You won’t be disappointed.
I really wanted to like this but I thought it was going to have a paranormal element. However, it seems to be more of a story about the horrors some people experience in small towns with awful, closed-minded people. I don't think I'm going to keep listening. The acting is good but it's so depressing. Rape, bullying, police corruption, poverty, violence, etc. ☹️
Love the oppressive gothic eerie atmosphere. Music and sound design excellent. Acting and script excellent.
Struggling here. Is there a supernatural element, or just plain murder? Really enjoying it either way 😂. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
if finch dies I'm out.
this podcast is good for those ones who has sleep problems. It is so boring that I will make you sleep straight away.
This reminds me of ‘small town horror’. So far ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I wish the surname was Hagley instead of Hadley. 😏 (#whoputbellainthewychelm?)
with the memory loss thing this sounds exactly like strawberry spring.
