S11 E29 - F-Bomb - The Witch of Dudgeon Swamp, Michigan's Most Unsettling Legend, or a Terrible Mistake

A chilling Michigan legend rooted in real tragedy. In 1922, the Dudgeon family became the center of a brutal and controversial case involving poison, staged death, and forced confessions. But the story didn’t end in the courtroom. Over time, rumor turned to legend—and Alice Dudgeon became something more than human in the eyes of the community. Locals still whisper about Dudgeon Swamp near White Cloud, where strange sightings, eerie silence, and a watching presence have kept the story alive for over a century. Was she truly a witch… or the victim of fear, rumor, and injustice? This is F-Bomb Friday—where folklore, fiction, and fear collide in the shadows of Michigan. #FBombFriday #MichiganLegends #TrueCrimeMeetsFolklore #DudgeonSwamp #UrbanLegend Hosted and Produced by Tracy Preston, Featuring Todd Preston Researched and Written by Todd Preston Original music created exclusively for F-Bomb by Tracy Preston Original artwork by Todd Preston Sources: https://www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/2010/08/looking_back_meda_hodell_freed.html https://www.iheart.com/podcast/966-true-crime-historian-29291150/episode/the-white-cloud-rolling-pin-murder-143038959/ https://www.buzzsprout.com/1387693/9533557/transcript https://thepostcalvin.com/to-find-the-place-where-spirits-romp-head-to-white-clouds-dungeon-swamp/
