S2 E16: A Titanic Survivor's True Story from Storyteller Pippa White

An hour of stories about help from unexpected sources, including a premonition aboard the Titanic, a cartoon crime dog, and a host of medieval archers. (4:04) Nebraska storyteller Pippa White brings the true story of the Titanic survivor Eva Hart to life. Eva was a young girl at the time, and her mother had a premonition that ended up saving their lives when disaster struck. This performance was recorded live in the Apple Seed Studio. (24:17) Host Sam Payne shares his memories of the way that "McGruff the Crime Dog" helped his childhood neighborhood become a more connected, trusting place. (33:52) We bring you a performance of a story from World War I called "The Bowmen" by Arthur Machen. It is a work of fiction about a miracle involving a legion of archers from the Middle Ages returning to fight alongside the British army at the Battle of Mons. Though it was fiction, many people treated it as fact, much like how in 2022 the "Ghost of Kyiv" fighter pilot story caught the public imagination and took on a life of its own.
