Some games don’t end when you walk away.
In the Season One finale of Haunts and Haints, Gio sits down with Stantonville native Trey Hagwood to unpack a childhood encounter deep in the Oak Grove woods—a meeting with a mysterious girl who played games with rules that carried lifelong consequences.
What begins as a local legend unfolds into something far more unsettling: a story about memory, loss, and the quiet ways identity can be taken piece by piece.
This is The Lurk. And once it knows you, it doesn’t forget.
