The Lets Read Podcast · 364: I'M NEVER HIKING ALONE AGAIN | 6 TERRIFYING True Scary Stories | EP 349 · 15 Sep 2026 podcast

No, he'd keep them occupied too, even if it was just insects in there feeding on whatever food he'd left for them.

And then he'd go around checking in on them like some kind of critter landlord.

And again, that sounds pretty wholesome on paper, right?

But when you're walking through the woods and you come across a small village worth of little teepee huts, all jagged like some creepy little elves made them, you start worrying about the state of mind of the person who made them and if they're close by or not.

Now I never saw this personally, but I heard Cornbread liked to keep things that he found in big glass macian jars that he kept somewhere in the woods, but specifically things left behind by people.

Now I'm not talking about trash or cigarette butts, nothing like that.

I'm talking about lost hairbands, gloves, even buttons that had fallen off of old or poorly made clothes.

Anything that was lost, he liked finding a home for it, and that home was in his mason jar, stashed somewhere in the woods.

Now I heard someone spotted him while out hunting one day and that cornbread was cradling that big glass jar of his like a baby and whispering to it.

Now again I never saw that with my own eyes, but I believe it.

Sometimes, and this is something I did see with my own eyes, you'd find these flimsy chair looking constructions made of sticks and twigs.

They weren't strong enough to sit on, as a buddy of mine discovered to our amusement, but they weren't meant for people.

Cornbread used to build them for ghosts, and people said he'd sit in front of them at night, waiting for one to come along and tell him its story.

Now I was never out in the woods that late, so that's not something I can confirm.

But if you told me he liked talking to ghosts the way he liked talking to the trees and the animals, I'd believe it, one hundred percent.

He used to write these letters too, but then instead of mailing them, he'd fix them to tree trunks and paling them to shoots or branches that he'd cut away to form a little tack.

Now me and my friends found one once and we took it down to see that Cornbread had addressed the letter to tomorrow, like he was writing to the future trying to get messages from it.

I obviously don't believe it worked for him, but it does mean I believe the rumors that cornbread used to tell random hikers about things that hadn't happened yet.

I heard the rumor started when Cornbread apparently told a local woman, whose mother happened to be sick with cancer, your mama's gonna be just fine.

It turns out the mom was going through her last round of chemo at the cancer center over in Franklin, and a couple of weeks later, she got the good news from the doctors.
