Who is The Carolina Storyteller

 Hi I'm the Carolina Storyteller Jonathan Phoinex. Let Me Tell You A Story is a way for me to combine my passion for storytelling with my passion for the paranormal.  I grew up hearing the myths and legends of Georgetown, South Carolina.  Alice of the Hermitage, Theodosia Burr and the Patriot, The Plat-eye and Boo Hags just to name a few.  I loved the spooky history that surrounded me and as I grew up I wanted to learn more.  I explored the old haunted places and learned the stories that only few knew. 

Eventually I began sharing my knowledge with my children, my nieces and their friends. Every Halloween you would find me sitting in a rocking chair, my trusty skull Fred on a table beside me, surrounded by children from 4 to 14 telling my stories.  Sometimes I even told stories I made up, like the Red Coats or The Vampire Witch of Cowpens.  Children grow up, and eventually my audience had parties to go to, and listening to my stories wasn't the highlight of Halloween. 

Thankfully I discovered TikTok and it was through Tik Tok I found a new audience who loved Ghost Stories as much as I do. This helped me find many spooky friends, like Victoria Jaye and Tally Johnson.  I realized I had much more to offer than just a few videos in October, and now here we are. I happy to now share the many stories with you and my spooky friends who join me along the way.

Author/ Podcaster

I'm Jonathan Phoinex, author of Through The Flames and Red Coats, as well as your host. I grew up in Georgetown, South Carolina where it seemed impossible to throw a rock without being near some site of paranormal significance. As a youth I would listen to the tour guides as they passsed places where my friends and I played and hear them tell stories about ghost of soldiers, pirates, forlorn lovers and even graveyard caretakers. It was only natural I would develop a love for for storytelling and the paranormal. I honed my craft by entertaining my children, my nieces and their friends by sitting next to the fire at night and sharing with them those same stories. Now I share those stories with you, and sometimes with my friends who also work in the paranormal world.

Applesauce

Co-Host

When Jonathan Phoinex accidentally read spilled nails and glitter into his morning snack cause he was reading from the Nerconomicon, something amazing happened. Applesauce was born? Created? Gain sentience? Ok we're not really sure what to call it but the bowl of Applesauce has been John's friend ever since, and is always happy to jump on the Podcast to talk about Cryptids and Aliens
