Episode Overview

In the dark, winding hills of Logan County, West Virginia, the 1932 murder of Mamie Thurman remains one of the Appalachian region’s most enduring, haunting ghost stories—and its most scandalous unresolved crime.

This week, The Mountain Mysteries steps into the theater of the mind. We are proud to present a special, cinematic audio reading of Between Two Worlds: The Mamie Thurman Tragedy, an immersive script written and produced by acclaimed regional storyteller and researcher Christopher S. Slone.

Forget everything you think you know about the standard true-crime breakdown. Through Slone’s evocative storytelling, we transport you directly to the humid, tense atmosphere of 1930s coal country. With rich sound design, haunting atmospheric scores, and dramatic narration, this episode breathes life into the cold courtroom testimonies, the whispered rumors of high-society affairs, and the lingering spirit that locals claim still wanders 22 Mountain.

• The Discovery on 22 Mountain: The chilling moment a young boy stumbles upon Mamie's body, changing the town of Logan forever.

• The Web of Power: A deep dive into the powerful local figures, secret societies, and illicit affairs that ensured the real truth stayed buried.

• The Trial of Harry May: A cinematic recreation of the sensational trial that left the community divided and a killer walking free.

• Between Two Worlds: An exploration of Mamie's afterlife legacy. Is her spirit trapped in the ridges of West Virginia, seeking the justice she was denied in life?

About the Writer/Producer: > Christopher S. Slone is a dedicated chronicler of Appalachian history, folklore, and true crime. His work on Between Two Worlds meticulously pieces together historical records, trial transcripts, and local oral histories to give Mamie Thurman a voice nearly a century after it was violently silenced.

The first five stories of the haunted dolls under the collection and care of 606 Paranormal, each with their own disturbing personalities and stories.

In this inaugural video episode of The Mountain Mysteries, we hear from the mother of a beautiful twelve-year girl who was murdered at the hands of someone she should have been able to trust ...

James Darrell Osborne was a good man who lived a life of integrity and love, laughter and friendship and would do anything for most anyone he could.  

This, is what nightmares are made of, not the kind of nightmares where there’s a monster under the bed looking to eat the kids, not the kind of nightmares where you run and run and still can’t escape some masked killer wielding a knife or machete, then again, when you’re loved one is murdered by a coward, or cowards in cold blood and you have no answers, then there is a killer, or worse yet, killers on the loose, the monsters in the closet and under the bed become all too real, that anonymity becomes the mask, and the nightmare has no waking moment where you come to realize it was all just a bad dream, instead you’re left with something far less than resolve, you have to face this nightmare in the waking hours.

This episode is about a man you'll get to know and come to realize that a senseless murder has happened here, and justice desperately needs to be served.

For Halloween or anytime you want to be a bit creeped out, this is a family friendly episode but some of the stories are a bit on the frightening side.

Many of the stories were written by S.E. Schlosser, she is one of the most talented writers I've read. Many of these stories are abound from folklore and superstition but certainly serve a purpose in their telling's and impart a certain warning and wisdom. This is for the kids, and kids at heart.

Love and respect to all,

CS Slone
