Only for him to be stopped by a local police officer because the ghost of a Civil War general has been screwing with his sense of direction. And hearing King Falls resident Tim Jensen's abduction live on-air. Then things get ''weird'' as he and his co-host begin reporting on lake monsters, skinwalkers, werewolves, murder, zombies, transmissions from the abductee, mysterious presences calling in to the station, pet seances, a library [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext haunted by the ghost of Abraham Lincoln,]] and the... [[CityOfWeirdos let's call them eccentric...]] residents of King Falls, along with its [[KitschyLocalCommercial absurd local businesses.]]
[[DeadpanSnarker And Ben and Sammy handle each one with]] [[WorldOfSnark heavy helpings of snark.]] Early episodes could be described as [[FollowTheLeader an attempt to emulate]] PodCast/WelcomeToNightVale, but [[GrowingTheBeard it grows the beard as the storyline goes on.]]

* CanNotSpitItOut: Ben, towards Emily.
* CorruptHick: Mayor Grisham, hinted to embezzle from the town, and all-around unpleasant.
* CrazyJealousGuy: Ben verges into this sometimes on the subject of Emily Potter. On the other hand, the CrazyJealousGuy who's his rival for her love, Greg Fricker, is ''worse''.

** Deputy Troy - though [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming he and Ben end up burying the hatchet later.]]
