Dark humor and true crime don’t often go hand in hand, but when the ladies from Watch For Deer Podcast are in the building, you better buckle in. Samantha and Alisa joined me for a three-hour marathon covering two absolutely chilling stories: the Rainbow Murders in West Virginia and the infamous Willow’s Weep House in Indiana.

Both stories are heartbreaking, horrifying, and full of unsolved layers—but that didn’t stop us from cracking jokes like our mental health depended on it. As we say in Appalachia, “you gotta laugh to keep from crying,” and this episode delivers on both fronts.

On November 14, 1970, a plane carrying 75 members of the Marshall University football family crashed just short of the Tri-State Airport, leaving no survivors. Decades later, their legacy lives on through a community that refused to let tragedy define them. We Are Marshall.

Who says Halloween has to end in October?

We’re back with the one and only Spanish Lumberjack to unpack his haunted tour across Appalachia. From foggy forests to pitch-black hallways, this is a three-hour haunt review extravaganza, and we don’t hold back.

Through his Appalachia Haunt Finder journey, Spanish hit up 13+ haunted attractions and gives us the lowdown on the scariest scenes, wildest actors, best setups, and the ones that left him saying “meh.” You’ll get honest opinions, hilarious side stories, and a few behind-the-scenes peeks at what makes a haunt memorable… or forgettable.

Whether you’re planning next year’s Halloween season, love immersive experiences, or just want to hear grown men scream in dark buildings—this is your episode.

What would you do if someone you loved just vanished—no goodbye, no trace? That’s the devastating reality for the families of Jack Denny, Luke Stout, and Jeffrey Crawford. In this gripping episode, true crime researcher Alex Paul joins us for nearly three hours to lay out what we know, what we don’t, and what we should be asking about these three unresolved disappearances. Each case brings its own heartbreak, suspicions, and bizarre twists—from abusive relationships to murky drug connections and trails that went cold far too fast.

So many questions remain. Was someone silenced? Were the searches thorough enough? And why do so many people seem to vanish without a single answer in small towns like ours?

If you know anything—say something. The smallest tip could mean the biggest break. Tune in for the full story and join the effort to bring these men home.

In the summer of 1932, the body of Mamie Thurman was found brutally murdered on Trace Mountain in Logan County, West Virginia. Her throat had been slit, her head beaten, and her body unceremoniously dumped off the hillside, her wedding ring still on her finger.

Mamie wasn’t just any woman in the coalfields. A 31-year-old churchgoer, socialite, and wife of a respected patrolman, she was known for her charm, her beauty, and her ability to float between the strict expectations of Logan society and the nightlife scene that simmered just beneath its surface. But as rumors of affairs, corruption, and bootlegging started swirling, her murder exposed more than just a killer, it exposed the moral double life of an entire town.

So who killed Mamie Thurman? And why?

In this episode, we explore the tangled web of suspects: from the handyman who went to prison for her murder, to a prominent judge, to whispers of a powerful cover-up that still echo in Logan County to this day. We unpack theories, evidence, trial transcripts, and interviews to piece together the real story of what happened that night on the mountain.

Nearly a century later, her ghost is said to still roam the hills. But the real haunting part? The fact that her case has never been fully solved.

Type 1 Diabetes isn’t for the weak—and that’s exactly why this episode hits so hard. Maddie Harvey, President of Camp Kno-Koma and fellow T1D warrior, stopped by the studio to talk about life with a broken pancreas. As two people living with Type 1, we broke down the highs, the lows, the scary moments, and the ones that make us laugh out loud… usually after we’ve stabilized our blood sugar.

From unconscious episodes and rebellion to sugar-free chocolate warnings and the realities of managing a chronic disease day in and day out, this is one of the most honest conversations about diabetes you’ll hear anywhere. Whether you live with T1D, love someone who does, or you’re just curious about what it’s really like—this episode’s got something for you.
