    87: Interstate 75 Fog Disaster
    Jan 5 2026
    On the morning of December 11, 1990, an ordinary commute on Interstate 75 between Athens and Cleveland, Tennessee turned into a nightmare. As drivers crossed the Hiwassee River bridge, they were suddenly swallowed by a blinding wall of fog—so thick survivors said it felt like driving into milk. Within minutes, a single crash involving a tractor-trailer hauling hazardous chemicals triggered a massive chain reaction, leaving 99 vehicles mangled across the interstate as fires burned inside the haze.

    In Episode 87, we unravel how this deadly fog formed, why no one saw it coming, and what first responders faced as crash after crash echoed through the mist. From haunting survivor accounts to the lawsuits that followed, this episode dives into one of Tennessee’s most chilling and lesser-known disasters—where visibility vanished, and lives were changed forever.

    This episode dives into one of the strangest chapters of Southern folklore and human hysteria. When rumors spread that a captured mermaid had arrived in Charleston, curiosity quickly twisted into obsession, drawing massive crowds desperate to see the mysterious creature. What began as fascination spiraled into chaos, tension, and violence as fear, spectacle, and deception collided in the streets. In this episode, we unravel how the legend began, why people became consumed by it, and whether there was ever truly a mermaid at all or just a powerful tale that exposed the darker, wilder side of human behavior.
