    History & Haunts
    Aug 24 2025
    Imagine a world where silence speaks louder than screams, where legends bleed into our everyday reality, and where the line between myth and history blurs. Tonight, we journey through chilling true-crime, cryptid encounters, haunted hotels, ancient rituals, and one unsettling disappearance. Episode 2 Lineup -Witnesses in Indifference- We start with the tragic story of Kitty Genovese and the bystander effect that sparked a revolution in emergency response. Discover how public outrage over one woman's murder led to the creation of 911 and forever changed the way we seek help. -Snarly Yow: The Forest Lurker Deep in the misty woods of Appalachia, campers whisper of a snarling shape with glowing eyes. We'll unpack eyewitness accounts, local folklore, and the theories that keep Snarly Yow stalking our collective nightmares. -Willard Hotel: Power, Politics & Poltergeists- From Lincoln's "White House of the West" to a stage for restless spirits, the Willard Hotel has seen presidents, prohibition-era smuggling, and ghostly appearances. We'll trace its historic milestones and eerie encounters in the grand lobby and secret hallways. -Crescent Hotel: The Queen of the Ozarks- Often called America's most haunted hotel, the Crescent boasts a bloody past of snake-oil doctors and tragic patients. Step inside its haunted halls as we reveal the resident ghosts and the chilling evidence caught on camera. -Turning of the Bones: Dancing with Ancestors- In a remote valley, an annual ritual exhumes, cleans, and re-entombs the bones of the departed. We explore the roots of this macabre celebration, its spiritual significance, and why it endures despite the chills it sends down your spine. -Missing: Victor Shoemaker Jr- Our finale brings us back to a modern mystery. Who was Victor Shoemaker Jr and why did he vanish without a trace? We'll sift through the last known sightings, family testimonies, and the haunting question: Could someone we know disappear that completely?

    Crawfish & Pepperoni Rolls
    Sep 1 2025
    Imagine stepping through the wrought-iron arch of Oakland Cemetery in downtown Shreveport, Louisiana-a green oasis of oak and magnolia, laid out in 1849, where mayors, pioneers, and yellow-fever victims share unmarked graves. Feel your pulse quicken as we slip into the tangled boundary of Swann Cemetery, high atop a Barboursville ridge in West Virginia, where field- stone markers hide stories no history book ever told. Then we're off to the bayou's edge, listening for the blood-curdling screech of the Grunch-the goat-horned, shape-shifting terror stalking Louisiana's shell roads since the 1820s-and Northeast to West Virginia,where the Ogua lurks beneath moon-slashed waters with a tail that could capsize your skiff. Finally, we'll sift through decades of cold case files: 17-year-old David Yeager, last seen heading to a Centenary debate in Shreveport on a February afternoon in 1971-the senior's brand- new ring still locked away-and Bonnie Hutton, a 44-year-old spirit who disappeared from Martinsville, West Virginia, in 1983, leaving only questions buried with her. Ready to wander where daylight fears to tread? Lock your doors, dim the lights, and let's dive into shadows that never sleep...
