Are you ready to listen to tales of things that go bump in the night? This week, your favorite cousins explore two haunted sites; the Mayo Hotel of Tulsa and the McBride House of Ft. Gibson. While the McBride House no longer offers up hotel stays, you can bet you will still come across Ft. Gibsoners that will tell you of the kooky and spooky going on in their town, and in that house! But, if you can’t access Ft. Gibson in real-life, pick of current owner Cecila Back’s book “Ghosts of the McBride House ''. She gives chilling details of the haunts her family endured during their 25+ year occupancy of the home. (It does still stand today, however, it appears to be uninhabited, but still owned by the Back family) 

The Mayo Hotel was at one time the crown jewel of Tulsa hotels. Modeled after the Ritz in NYC, The Mayo provided luxurious stays for the rich and famous. Unlike many snazzy hotels, this one seems to have little dark history behind it! The rising costs in renovation led to the hotel closing its doors, and staying that way for roughly 30 years. Thankfully, Tulsa’s iconic hotel has seen a revitalization, and it just might house more than your weary traveler… 

Check out Cecila Back’s book “Ghosts of the McBride House” here. 

This week, your favorite cousins explore places super kooky and spooky…abandoned hospitals! Jess explores Cottonwood Manor in Yukon, while Tiff takes a trip up the turnpike to Vinita to Eastern State Hospital. Using pictures from Abandoned Oklahoma, you can see just how creepy some of these places were that were supposed to provide help to the innocent, and not so innocent. So sit back and listen to the tales…and probably be thankful you didn’t have to go to either hospital!

COUSINS! The kooky and spooky has been TURNT UP this week! Jess takes us along for the kooky cryptid tale of Oklahoma’s famed Stikini, while Tiff explores another haunted building; the Knox Building of Enid. While one story focuses on the Seminole lore of a vampiric owl-man, the other will lead listeners to wonder just what went on for 40 years while this Oklahoma site stood vacant. So enjoy one of Oklahoma’s spring evenings (can you hear the thunder in the background of the recording?) while catching up with your favorite cousins!   

Time to turn up the kooky and spooky factor! This week, your favorite cousins, along with guest host cousin Ava, dive into the NUMEROUS theories surrounding the mysterious disappearance and deaths of the Jamison Family out of Eufuala, OK. From cult sacrifices to the witness protection program to murder-suicide, your cousins will dish out the facts, and dish on some opinions. We’d love to hear your thoughts, theories, and beliefs surrounding this truly baffling case. Comment below!! 

Special thanks to AVA for joining us this week! We can’t wait to have her on again!

Ready for a tale that is both kooky and spooky? Tiff dives into the mysterious and conspiracy centered disappearance and death of the Jamison Family of Eufuala, OK. Requested by listener Brandy McGinley, part 1 takes a look at the family background, dynamics, and strange way they simply appeared to pack up and vanish from the Palona Mountains. Investigators were baffled by all the evidence and theories that all could have been feasible. Dive with Tiff and Jess while they discuss the possibilities behind what could have made this family of 3 walk away from it all…or could it be foul play…witness protection…the world may never know. 

Make sure to tune in next week, with special guest Ava, when we explore all the theories behind one of Oklahoma’s most recent who-done-its.

A soft rain is pitter-patter-ing down, so that means it's time for a spooky story, right? Take a trip to T-Town to visit one of its MANY spooky and kooky theaters! This week, Tiff gives us the history of both Tulsa's Little Theatre and Spotlight Theatre. Many spirits are said to roam the stages and halls, giving thespians quite the fright. Tulsa’s oldest show can still be seen at the Spotlight, while the Little Theatre boasts a great venue for shows! Additionally, the theaters are architectural shrines to their history! Check out both places on your next trip to Tulsa! Just don’t mind those who are still reaching for the stars…

Let's hear it for the girls! Let's give the girls a hand!

This week, your favorite cousins are covering some BOSS BABES for Women's History Month! First, Tiff will scratch the surface of Oklahoma's Angel, Kate Barnard, progressive reformer during the time when women's voices in politics were shunned and ignored. Jess takes a look at professional girls baseball player Earlene "Beans" Risinger. Both of these ladies SHATTERED those glass ceilings, and were proud Oklahomans. Both were tenacious, persistent, and pushed barriers for women.

Don't forget! Tell you friend to like us on Facebook! We'd love to give away one of our FAVORITE books!
