The Witch Bottle Under the Porch is a narrated scary story about a family who finds a dark glass bottle buried beneath the porch of an old rural house. Packed with rusted nails, red thread, yellowed paper, and human hair, the bottle looks like something hidden there for a reason. When it breaks, the house begins to change, and every door starts opening inward, even the ones that had been locked.

What begins as a strange discovery during a home repair turns into something darker as the family realizes the bottle may have been keeping something out, or keeping something buried. This episode is for listeners who enjoy folk horror, witch bottle folklore, haunted object stories, creepy old house horror, rural supernatural suspense, cursed objects, basement horror, old-house hauntings, and eerie tales about what happens when old warnings are ignored.

So, be careful what you dig up under an old porch.
