The Nowhere Dispatch

Welcome back to the Nowhere Dispatch. It's finally October and I'm ready to bring you more creepy stories. Still, I wanted to do something a bit different to start off my favorite month. There's a story I heard a long time ago that involves my hometown, one of my favorite rock bands of all time, fire and lightning. One weird night n 1966, these forces came together to put my strange little town into the hallowed annals of rock history. How we got there, though, is where things get just a bit creepy.

Welcome back to the Nowhere Dispatch. In this installment, I'll let you in on something: someone is setting fires all over my hometown.

Listen in to hear how creepy it can be to share a town with firebugs.

In August of 2006, a young woman named Brandi Wells disappeared outside of a Longview nightclub. Now, ten years later, she's still missing and questions remain unanswered.

This is a case that is still remembered here in the middle of Nowhere. Listen in to learn her story.

This has been a difficult summer. Violence and heat turn the streets into foreign territory. This isn't the first summer that has been marred by violence.

Tune in to this installment of the Nowhere Dispatch to learn about the Longview Race Riots, in the throes of the Red Summer of 1919.

Welcome back to the Nowhere Dispatch. In this episode, I find out that not all roads are easily navigable. Stagecoach Road is a local legend that I heard about over a decade ago. The rumors about this road are numerous: phantom stagecoaches, the Lady in White and even Bigfoot are said to walk the road and the woods nearby. Perhaps, though, the scariest thing about this road are the histories that lie mixed in the red dirt on its surface.
