Homegrown Horror

We've got another history lesson with Professor B! How many forgotten stories does the state of Maine have? They never seem to end! B takes us back to 1711, the beginning of Patience Boston (aka Patience Samson)'s story - one that won't have a happy ending.

1842 was a hell of a time to be on the coast in Maine. Opportunity knocking on your door and the open sea beckoning with its call for adventure, that is unless you joined with the Isidore. Come join us as we uncover one of Maine's worst naval disasters.

**Content warning: This episode does contain brief discussion around suicide. Listener discretion is advised.**

B's throwing it back to an old case she started to research earlier this year - it's now Hattie Whitten's time to shine! But, her story isn't all that it seems and *spoiler alert* Jackson isn't happy about the ending.

Did you know that Maine could be the basis of it’s own X-Files episode? In part one of our examination of some of the mysteries of Loring Air Force Base, B digs into the weird happenings of October 1975 when an unidentified aircraft penetrated the weapons storage area of the base - famously home to a metric ton of nuclear weapons. Was it related to Russian surveillance in a Cold War espionage bid or a true case of a close encounter of the third kind?

On February 22, 1878 John Wilson Barron, teller for the Dexter Savings Bank, was found bound gagged and dead in front of the bank vault. It would take nearly ten years for any movement to develop in the case, but are we too quick to point fingers?

Alright, let's pull out the lore for this one! As Paramount+ has attempted to resurrect the Pet Semetary franchise with a prequel to the 2019 remake, B & Jackson have a bunch of bones to pick with this new outing. Sometimes, dead certainly is better.
