Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan, isn't just the largest U.S. military installation in the Pacific—it's also one of the most haunted. From shadowy figures trying to enter through the gates to abandoned buildings that drive occupants to the edge, and the chilling laughter of ghostly children, Kadena’s legends are as eerie as they are enduring. But are the hauntings rooted in the base itself… or in the haunted history of Okinawa Island beneath it?

When Laci Peterson vanished on Christmas Eve in 2002, the nation watched closely — but what investigators uncovered was darker than anyone imagined. Morgan and Kaelyn break down Scott Peterson’s suspicious alibi, the affair he tried to keep hidden, and the forensic evidence that turned the case. From hair found on his secret boat to disturbing internet searches and a chilling “go bag,” every detail is put under the microscope.
