When actual nightmares become reality: The Old Hag of Martin Street.
In October 1962, Shirley Patterson stayed in the cramped, back bedroom of his cousin’s rental house in Detroit. The horrific hissing hag who appeared in the room that night later drew hundreds of onlookers and got the story featured in the Detroit Free Press.
Bill Adams, Shirley’s cousin, a soft-spoken Army veteran, didn’t believe in ghosts. But within 24 hours, this oppressive, mutilated, smelly, hissing, greasy-haired hag would drive Bill and his entire family out of the house.
This week on DGSG, returning guest Loyd and host Austin Lee dig into the local story of the Old Hag of Martin Street. We break down every creepy angle, with eyewitness interviews, police statements, and a haunting history going back decades. We also cover the lore of the old hag and its connection to sleep paralysis: nightmare fuel that is more literal than figurative.
