Captain Kenny Mears continues spooky season with a journey back to the Old West, a time of great hardship that birthed legends and ghost stories alike.

This episode features storyteller Laurie Allen as she shares a chilling and heartwarming Western legend: "The Lady in White."

Set against the backdrop of pioneer trails and barter-based trading posts, the story follows an honest post owner named Hank. His routine is disrupted when a silent, distressed woman in a long white dress appears for three consecutive nights, trading valuable jewelry (a garnet ring, pearl earrings, and a pearl necklace) for a simple tin of milk.

Hank's quest to understand the mysterious woman leads him to a surprising and somber encounter with a wagon master who recognizes the jewelry. Their investigation culminates in a shocking discovery at a newly dug grave that is a testament to a mother's enduring love, even beyond the veil.

Tune in for this captivating tale that blends ghost story suspense with the harsh realities of the pioneer trek and the enduring power of life.
