From superstitions and folklore to the curious and 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: the Bazaar. They gave you a front row seat to 6 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: stories that explore a whole new side of world history. 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 1: But now it's time to bring that journey home. Because 8 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: while America's history books are filled with people, places, and 9 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: events that sit on lofty pedestals, there's a whole other 10 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: side of American history that's been forgotten and pushed into 11 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: the shadows. But unlike those surprise barn finds, the kind 12 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: where someone discovers a rare classic car hidden in the 13 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: back of their grandmother's garage, these shadowy tales might have 14 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: been left to be forgotten for a reason. Tales of 15 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: unlikely heroes who worked behind the scenes to make our 16 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: country what it is today, world changing tragedies that tested 17 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: this nation's resolve in tenacity, and legends that are powerful 18 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: examples of this country's unique spirit. Some of these tales 19 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: are terrified ying, while others are delightfully bizarre, all of 20 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: them though our eye opening, and we've dusted them off 21 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: and brought them all together for a brand new show 22 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: that we call American Shadows. Each episode is handcrafted by 23 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: the Grim and Mild team and narrated by me, Lauren Vogelbaum. 24 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: And while we might be guiding you down some dark 25 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: and lonely roads, you're bound to learn a thing or 26 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: two along the way. After all, you can learn a 27 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: lot about a place by looking at its shadows.
