A Scary State

We are in OOOOklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plain! Lauren shares the dark and twisted tale associated with the Hex House. Once you hear of the evil that took place, it won’t be surprising that this house ends up haunted. Next, Kenzie shares an urban legend where most facts can’t be confirmed or denied because the people who shared the facts cannot be located. Did they disappear because they shared their story?

We are headed way down yonder to Georgia to share two head scratching mysteries. First, Kenzie shares the lengthy and complicated tale of Benjaman Kyle. The only person to be considered missing, even though authorities knew where he was. Then, Lauren tells us about the disappearance of Justin Gaines. After a night on the town with friends, Justin is never seen again. In both of these stories, private detectives, websleuths, and kind samaritans try to help solve these mysteries, but to no avail. Georgia will certainly be on your mind after listening to this episode. - If anyone has information, please contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-8477 or the Gwinnett County Police Department at 770-513-5000 and Detective John Richter at 770-513-5387.

We head to the wide open spaces (cue The Chicks) of Wyoming! Lauren is up first with stories and legends surrounding Devils Tower, the first United States national monument, established in 1906. Long before it became a national monument, the massive structure was (and still is) a sacred place for many Native American Plains tribes. The legends that surround the enormous landform have been rumored to give the area a very spooky vibe. Next, Kenzie shares an old story that has turned into a Wyoming legend. There is no question that Walter Earl Durand led police on a wild goose chase through the mountains, and that he is responsible for the 5 murders that took place during the whole escapade. The legend comes from questions about who this man really was and what his motivations were for the daring escape. You won’t want to miss this episode because these stories are truly *legendary*. - - Follow us on Social Media and find out how to support A Scary State by clicking on our Link Tree: https://instabio.cc/4050223uxWQAl - - Have a scary tale or listener story of your own?

Please be advised that this episode discusses sensitive, but important topics around social justice. First, Kenzie tells us about the haunted experiences of people who work or have worked at the Hawaiian Plantation Village. The only time people are allowed to work at night is during their Haunted Plantation attraction around Halloween time. Even then, they are required to work in pairs because of all the ghostly interactions that have occurred at this place. Then, Lauren shares a story that is all too familiar in American history. The case of Thalia Massie, a wealthy white woman, and the five Hawaiian men she accused of assaulting her, is one that will have your heart racing in rage at the injustice carried out in this story. Hawaii may look like paradise, but these two stories will make you think twice… - - Follow us on Social Media and find out how to support A Scary State by clicking on our Link Tree: https://instabio.cc/4050223uxWQAl - - Have a scary tale or listener story of your own?

This week, we are in the great state of Texas! First up, Lauren shares the spooky tales from the potentially demonic Goatman’s Bridge. Its horrific origin story(s) makes it a hotbed for evil spirits and lost souls. We suggest listening to this portion at a lower volume because Kenzie will be squealing, screaming, and shouting while Lauren tells her story. Next, Kenzie talks about the complicated case of 24 year old Scott Dunn. Investigators are not sure they will get a conviction without a body, but that won’t stop them from trying!

Next, Lauren lifts our spirits a bit with a bizarre story about the Mad Gasser that terrorizes the town of Mattoon, Illinois. More than two dozen separate cases of gassings were reported to police over the span of two weeks! Buckle up!

Another *new* New Mexico episode for you this week! First up, Lauren talks about the sad story of Raffi Kodikian and David Coughlin.

Thanks to the help of tribal traditions, medical investigators were able to quickly diagnose and treat the disease.

This week we have a special episode to kick off celebrating Lauren’s birthday! Lauren chose the theme for this episode and decided on stories with a plot twist!

We are headed out west this week to Nevada! First up, Kenzie shares the mysterious cases of Jessica Foster, Jodi Brewer, Lindsay Harris, and Misty Marie Saens. These four women went missing from the Las Vegas area in the early 2000s. Three of the four women’s body parts were found off of major highways and one is still missing to this day. These cases take a bizarre twist when a man is killed during a home invasion and police suspect he may be responsible for killing anywhere from 8 to 10 people. Then, Lauren shares some classic Vegas stories and tells us about different casino heists that were both successful and unsuccessful. One of the stories she shares is about one of the only heists where a suspect got away with all the money and the police still aren’t sure how he did it. Lauren and I have many conspiracy theories we think may have occurred in these two very mysterious Nevada stories! - -If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Jessica Foster please contact the Las Vegas Police Department at (702) 633-1773, or the Kamloops British Columbia Police Department at (250) 828-3293. -If you have any information regarding the murder of Lindsay Harris, please contact the Illinois State Police at (309) 693-5015. -Henderson Police Department’s phone number - 702-267-2323 - and website - https://www.cityofhenderson.com/government/departments/police -Charleston Police Department’s number (304) 348-6400 - and website - https://charlestonwvpolice.org/ -If you have any information about the missing and murdered women in Ohio please contact the Task Force Hotline at 740.774.FIND (3463) or FindMe@RossSheriff.com. -The Southern Ohio Crime Stoppers is offering a reward up to $2,500 for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of a suspect: 740.773.TIPS (8477) or SouthernOhioCrimeStoppers.com - - Follow us on Social Media and find out how to support A Scary State by clicking on our Link Tree: https://instabio.cc/4050223uxWQAl - - Have a scary tale or listener story of your own?

We stay in the Midwest this week because we are talking about Iowa! First, Lauren talks about the unsolved murder of Myrtle Cook. A prominent, and strongly disliked, community figure who was shot while sitting in her living room. Detectives had a harder time eliminating suspects from the list rather than adding them. Next, Kenzie shares some stories from Iowa that are more spiritual than spooky. The Vincent House, built in the late 1800s, is said to be haunted by up to 25 different spirits! Including the previous owners. LaVona and LaVelda Rowe of Iowa City weren’t your typically identical twins. These twins claimed to have a very strong ESP connection. One that could possibly be life saving!
