There’s a 50 mile stretch of distillate land between Houston and Galveston. Where the hot Texas sun will bake you to a crisp and no one is around for miles. In the 1970’s so many women and girls went missing in this area that locals began calling it, the Texas Killing Fields.

Love can make you do crazy things - isn’t that what they say? According to Martha Beck, love is what made her and Raymond Fernandez kill 20 women. The two would later become famous and even have movies made about them. Together, they were known as the Lonely Hearts Killers.

There’s just something about bridges, right? I don’t know about you, but I have a fear of bridges. Long bridges, tall bridges, covered bridges, they all seem to be a bit well uncertain to me. Like I wasn’t meant to cross them. 

There was an old bridge over in Florence Alabama that folks say was haunted. They also say they saw a lot of things on that bridge that weren’t supposed to be there.

Down along the Yazoo river in the western part of Mississippi, there’s a legend about a woman who lived in a shack at the river’s edge and she lured fishermen to her hut.

They were never seen again.

In the summer of 1988, 17 year old Christopher Davis of Lee County was driving home from work through the swamps of South Carolina late one night when he got a flat tire.

Now, having to repair a tire on your own in the dark in the middle of a swamp is scary enough, but soon  Christopher could feel someone watching him. He looked up to see something with two red eyes peering at him from the treeline, and it looked hungry.

There’s nothing more terrifying than a blood-curdling scream breaking through the peaceful silence of an old farmhouse. In a matter of a moment, a once serene environment is hurled into hell on earth.  

That’s probably what it felt like to the Kiger family on the night of August 17, 1943. The entire family was viciously attacked that night in Boone County Kentucky, all except their 15-year-old daughter, Joan. She didn’t have a scratch on her.
