The Mantawauk Caves
The Mantawauk Caves is a fictional narrative podcast about a tragic event in a small Tennessee town. On May 10, 2007, three boys entered a cave; only one survived, and the other two were found dead days later. The investigation uncovered dark town secrets and led to a teenage boy, James Fincher, being sentenced to death. Years later, amateur writer Julien Solas returns home as Fincher's execution approaches, seeking to uncover the truth behind the killings. The series blends social drama, supernatural horror, and psychological thriller, created by filmmaker Dan Bush and produced by Blumhouse Television and iHeartPodcasts.
