Episode description

Hey y'all!

Welcome to PART TWO of our Hometown Haunts ILLINOIS episode!! Couldn't you just?

Last week we shared stories about aliens and ghosts and it was REAL SPOOKY.  This week gets a TAD darker with Lauren covering some very disturbing and some very confusing true crime stories.  But don't worry!  All that terror will be broken up by Ashley's kooky tales of crazy characters, the impressiveness of Native American civilizations, and a very strange story about a young girl who's body was taken over by a stranger.

For cryin' out loud, lets get to the show!

 

This week's topics:

Robert Pershing Wadlow (The tallest man in recorded history)

Deaf Bill Lee (An Alton IL legend)

The 1987 murder of the Dardeen Family of Ina Illinois

Cahokia Mounds

The Mad Gasser of Mattoon

The Watseka Wonder (A possession story)

The 1984 murder of the Hendricks Family in Bloomington Illinois
