In this episode of Unexplained Arkansas, your host Lisa and special guest host Amber host our very first Live Show at the historic Rialto Theater in downtown Searcy, Arkansas. The main subject of the show is the History and Haunts of the White County Courthouse--this will be part 1. Part 2 will cover Amber discussing the Headless Lady Bridge in Judsonia and the Horrible Death of Laura Lee Henson in Judsonia.

In this episode, you will hear all about the inception of Searcy being noted as the county seat of White County, Arkansas's statehood. The entire history of the White County Courthouse going back to 1837 to when the existing building was built in 1871-through the present day.

We will cover 4 infamous cases tried inside the White County Courthouse plus; loads of interesting tidbits related to deaths, hangings, jumping out windows, embalming, morgues and of course the haunted stories of people that work in the courthouse today.

Big shoutout to the City of Searcy --owner of the Rialto for the use of the venue and all that went with it. My amazing family that helped set up and worked the event. Cadence and Aliyah for working the event. Mr. Dwayne L. for being the M.C. And finally Amber for guest hosting.
