Chronically Creepy

America's first serial killers? 🔪

Long before true crime had a name, Micajah "Big" Harpe and Wiley "Little" Harpe were terrorizing the American frontier — robbing, murdering, and leaving a trail of bodies across Kentucky and Tennessee. We dig into their brutal crime spree, the legends that grew around them, and how their reign of terror finally came to an end which we like to think involved Big Harpe's wife thumping his head on every tree on the way home.

What exactly was lurking around Grafton, West Virginia, in 1964?

The Grafton Monster became one of West Virginia's most infamous cryptid stories after several reported encounters with a strange, towering creature. But as we dig into the original reports, newspaper coverage, and the story's later evolution, things get a little more complicated.

Was the Grafton Monster a genuine unexplained encounter, a case of mistaken identity, an elaborate hoax, or something somewhere in between?

We're digging into the history, the sightings, the evidence, and the people behind one of West Virginia's strangest cryptid legends.

And, because this is Chronically Creepy, we also manage to derail the conversation spectacularly.

This week on Chronically Creepy, we’re diving into the strange and chilling story of Zona Heaster Shue, better known as the Greenbrier Ghost. After her mysterious death in 1897, Zona’s ghost allegedly appeared to her mother and revealed that she had been murdered by her husband. What happened next made this one of the most unusual murder cases in American history.

And because apparently one haunting wasn’t enough, we take a little Reddit side quest featuring some creepy personal encounters—including one involving a ghost dog. 🐕👻

Also, if this episode feels like it was particularly difficult to get into your ears… you’re not imagining things. Between the internet cutting out during recording, upload issues, messed-up audio, and having to completely redo the edit, this episode may have been haunted before we ever started talking about ghosts. 😂

TW for heavy topics: Slavery and racism

What happens when a place holds centuries of history beneath the surface?

In Episode 9 of Chronically Creepy, we head to Fort Loudoun State Park in Tennessee—a place where military history, Native American history, tragedy, and the paranormal all collide. From the story of Fort Loudoun and the Cherokee people who lived through its turbulent history, to the heartbreaking story of the McGhee family and their plantation, this episode takes some unexpectedly heavy turns.

But the history doesn’t end there. When the Tennessee Valley Authority flooded the area to create Tellico Reservoir, homes, communities, and pieces of the past disappeared beneath the water—leaving behind a landscape where people now spend their days boating, fishing, and enjoying the lake, often unaware of what lies below.

Join us as we dig into the history, the heartbreak, the legends, and the eerie stories surrounding Fort Loudoun.

Listen now and decide for yourself: is Fort Loudoun haunted, or is the past simply refusing to stay buried?
