Episode 118: 5 Teens Went Into The Woods - Only 1 Walked Out (Case of “Gitchie Girl”)
In the halls of their high school - nobody dared to walk near her.
Most of the students pretended they didn’t see her, hear her, or know her.
If you were new there you might ask - “What did she do? Why is she being bullied?”
“Oh, you don’t know? That’s Gitchie Girl. She went into the woods with 4 of her friends and she’s the only one that came out alive. And we all know that Gitchie Girl is hiding something.”
Book Rec: “Gitchie Girl” - by Phil Hamman & Sandy Hamman (There are 2 books written by the authors and both are incredible, heartbreaking reads)
