Fresno Night Crawlers

Fresno Night Crawlers

In 2007 a man named Jose found on his security cameras some small white creatures who appear as long legs and billowy struting across his lawn. These creatures have been spotted around the world. I also tell the story of being indirectly involved in a police chase and seeing a ghost. I apologize in advance for quality, my intro music was lost so I had to improvise but it's just part of the charm ;)

There is a place in Wisconsin haunted by a mysterious man, light, and chickens. Another place in North Carolina is haunted by a doctor who just wants a good time. What do both of these places have in common? They are both named Chicken Alley. Join me in this short, but fun episode about some egg-celent haunted places.

Dead Childrens Playground & Maple Hill Cemetery

Dead Childrens Playground & Maple Hill Cemetery

There is a playground located in Huntsville, Alabama where you can still hear the children of the past laugh and play. The playground is located next to the state's largest, and oldest cemetery; Maple Hill. There are local legends of children's ghosts playing at Dead Children's Playground as well as rumored child murders in the location in the '60s. The cemetery across the street has its own odd history and several ghost stories within its walls tied to some of its most prominent residents. Come join us discussing these local haunting historical tales in this week's episodes with a special guest. 

Some post-recording information: Lilly Flag was a dairy cow who went to the World Fair, which is why she put Huntsville on the map for the time. And the "Gypsy Queen" of Maple Hill, her name is Lena Mitchell. She was a palmist and "Gypsy Queen" according to records and allegedly over 100 Gypsys came to her funeral. There is rumored another "Gypsy Queen" who came before her, but nobody knows her name or place of rest.
