From 2009 to 2011, a bandit struck sixteen banks all over Southern California. He would walk into each bank lobby, having all the appearances of being a regular customer. Holding a leather case, he would approach the teller, and before the teller could react, he would pull a revolver from the case and silently hand the teller a note. The note would read something like "Give me $50,000 or I will murder you." Then, sometimes he would speak, giving more directions, and sometimes he wouldn’t. The am...

Is there something in your home state that you just HAVE to tell people about? Some kind of roadside attraction that’s well, weird? Something that you force out of town guests to visit because it’s the most odd thing you’ve ever experienced? Just me? At the ripe old age of 64, Samuel P. Dinsmoor, or as we will call him, Sam, starts construction on his populist masterpiece. He took 113 tons of cement and many tons of limestone and transformed them into an eleven room “log” cabin, and surrounded t...

Have you ever seen a plane flying upside down? Or, flying inverted, like the pilot people say. Have you seen a plane do this at a flight show, or in the new Top Gun movie? Or in the old Top Gun movie? Tell me, friends, what does that plane look like? I guarantee that the image you have produced in your head is not…this. For those of you listening, picture a big ass cargo plane, a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 cargo jet, to be exact. Painted in blue and red with the “FedEx” logo which was at that ti...

Not to get all colonialist and romantic, but the 150 year era that encompassed the conquest (and destruction) of the Old West marked a colorful period in American history. Also an awful one, so let's just name that. But, it's a time in American history marked by exploration, wilderness taming, cowboys, settling, and a lot of dust, it seems. Combine that with a distinct sense of lawlessness, and you've got yourself a recipe for a lot of gunfights. Especially if you involve saloons. ----- The Cran...

In the early morning hours of June 13, 1977, after a thunderstorm had rolled through, young girls at a Girl Scout Camp in Northeast Oklahoma heard terrifying noises throughout the dark, dark night. A counselor had investigated what sounded like guttural moaning sounds at 1:30 AM. One girl heard a scream. Another, perhaps someone crying for their mom. A camper from tent 6 had been awakened to a flashlight in her face. The next morning, as a young counselor rose at 6AM to get the first shower, and...

“I have always known that I had a big purpose. Not to be cocky, but, always knew. Just felt that driving power which made me fearless and relentless. My parents were told by more than one spiritual leader that I had a bright light around me. My uncle saw me before I was born and noted this light. My parents told me from birth my life would be hard but it was to make me strong. A bigger purpose is what gave me the strength to keep living.” - Misty Upham —-- Donate to Red Eagle Soaring: https://re...

The de Védrines were French aristocrats. They owned many properties, including the Château Martel in Monflanquin, France. The family was well-respected and active in the upper echelon of French society. But even their cultured, highly-educated upbringings were no match for a modern day Rasputin, a conman who managed, over the course of a decade, to bring the family to its knees. And the things they believed to the very core of their beings? Straight out of a work of fiction. They were lucky to g...

Austin, Texas, 1884. A city that was on the very edge of modernity. A town that had grown by almost 5x in population in twenty years. Some were calling Austin the Athens of the West. Indeed, there were not one, not two, but three colleges to study at. You could buy one of 10,000 books at Gammel's, downtown, and the sunset red granite was being laid for what would be the largest state capitol in the country (and yes, also bigger than the U.S. Capitol). Granite, I might add, that still emits trace...

The receptionist at the coroner's office stunned her with the reply: the body was still at the coroner's office, and the family could go to pick up her mother's personal belongings after the funeral.

She is seated in what appears to be a room that opens up to a vast landscape behind her, receding into icy mountains. Hushed grays, blues, browns and greens show an almost other-worldly, imaginary scene with only winding paths and a distant bridge bringing our imagination back to earth. The horizon line is painted level with her eyes, linking her inextricably with the landscape and increasing the intrigue of the figure herself. The enigmatic woman herself sits with pristine posture in an a...

“Slavery, throughout its entire existence in the United States is none other than a most barbarous, unprovoked, and unjustifiable War of one portion of its citizens upon another portion; the only conditions of which are perpetual imprisonment, and hopeless servitude or absolute extermination; in utter disregard and violation of those eternal and self-evident truths set forth in our Declaration of Independence.” John Brown.

In the last five years alone, almost 7,000 Native girls have gone missing in the United States. Though in America, the indigenous population is only about 1.6 percent of the entire populati...
