Hosting a morning show on TV or in Radio can be draining! You have to go to bed super early and wake up before the birds do. Jodi Huisentruit loved being a morning news anchor with KIMT in Mason City, Iowa. She even dreamed of moving to the big city and work for a big TV station there. During the early morning of June 27th, 1995, Jodi overslept and never made it in to work. When police were called to check on her, it was obvious that something happened. 27 years later, we still search for more information. Thankfully, a new lead is pointing police towards a hopeful direction.

“Palmistry: How to read the messages in your hand” by Johnny Fincham

The Athens Lunatic Asylum was in operation from 1874-1993. Many patients walked through the doors the hospital notorious for giving lobotomies, and sadly hundreds never left. Could the cruelty the patients suffered at the hands of untrained medical workers and doctors who insisted on removing part of their brains be responsible for the hauntings? I'm going to say yes. Absolutely yes.

In 1969, classmates Patricia Spencer & Pamela Hobley ditched school early to hang out and get ready for the homecoming football game in Oscada, MI. They both left their houses, went to the game, and planned to go to a Halloween party after. Sadly, they never made it to the party. It's been 53 years and we still don't know what happened that Halloween night.
