The Bradshaw Haunting: She Saw It First

On September 29, 2023, police found a man covered in blood, armed, and with a carved staff, answering his door in Bradshaw, Texas. They were there for a welfare check on his 79-year-old grandmother, Evelyn Kirkwood, and a report of gunshots. But what did Evelyn, dying and barely able to move, see in that house for weeks before her grandson did?

In this episode, we delve into the chilling events at 3324 Wilmore Lane, exploring the inexplicable occurrences that led to a shocking confrontation. Discover the unsettling details of a haunting that began with a dying woman's visions and escalated into a terrifying reality.

Person: Tommy Kirkwood
Age: 38
Location: Bradshaw, Texas
Date: September 29, 2023
Object: Smith and Wesson .22 caliber pistol

- Tommy Kirkwood was found with blood-soaked clothes, a gun, and a wooden staff.
- Evelyn Kirkwood, 79, had been seeing a "dark mass, shapeless" for weeks.
- The entity evolved from a "shapeless" form to one with a "small head" and then a "hood."
