Chris Lawrence previews an upcoming episode documenting the best fishing day of his life — a two-day Lake Erie smallmouth trip with Ed Powell that produced 75 to 100 fish, including multiple bass over four pounds — before settling into two guests with West Virginia river news. Pete Runyon of Friends of the Tug Fork River joins to update listeners on the group's annual Tug of War tire cleanup, which has now removed more than 19,000 tires from the river since 2019, along with new access improvements, a trash interceptor at Laurel Lake, and an upcoming youth paddle camp on June 6th. DNR Assistant Chief of Fisheries Dave Wellman then covers the Ohio River's current upswing in bass fishing, explaining how stable spring flows and mild winters over the past several years have improved recruitment and fish size, the challenge of silting backwater embayments that limit largemouth habitat, and the tools — stocking, habitat improvement, and regulation — the agency is currently evaluating to sustain and improve the fishery.

Danny Fulton joins the show to tell the story of building a duck property where most wouldn't expect one, along the Ohio River in southern Indiana. In a region outside the traditional waterfowl spotlight, the Fulton family has transformed a challenging river-bottom farm into a true waterfowl-focused operation. Danny breaks down the process of acquiring the property, adapting to the constant variables of a fluctuating river system, and learning how to shape habitat around the three things ducks demand most: food, rest, and cover. It's a conversation about vision, patience, and the reality of building habitat in a place where success isn't always guaranteed, but earned. Danny also shares practical advice for anyone considering taking on a habitat project of their own.>>>Thanks to our sponsors: Tom Beckbe, Lile Real Estate, Perfect Limit Outdoors, Purina Pro Plan, Sitka Gear, Greenhead: The Arkansas Duck Hunting Magazine, Noah Perry-Raymond James, The Waterfowl Management Academy, Create the X, and Ducks Unlimited.Send us Fan MailAll Rights Reserved.

This city has been shaped by ancient cultures, frontier ambitions, river trade, industrial growth, and a level of resilience that is frankly "fucked." Whether you know it as a hard-working Midwestern hub or just a place with "really bad pollution," the history of Evansville begins long before it even had a name. We start with the Angel Mounds, a major center of trade and culture occupied from 1000 AD to 1450 AD—centuries before Europeans arrived. Then, we move into the 1800s, tracing the arrival of Hugh McGarry Jr. and the eventual naming of the city after Colonel Robert M. Evans, a man who, as it turns out, wasn't even from here. The episode dives deep into the industrial boom that turned Evansville into a commercial powerhouse. We discuss the founding of Old National Bank in 1834, the rise of the "Lumber Barons" like John Augustus Reitz, and the city's unlikely title as the "Cigar Capital of the World" in the early 1900s. Did you know Barry Plastics now sits in a former factory that hand-cranked 100 million cigars a year? Finally, we cover Evansville's massive contribution to World War II. During the war, 75% of local factories held military contracts, and the Evansville shipyard became the world's largest inland producer of ocean-going ships, turning out 167 LSTs. We wrap up with the legends of the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival—the second largest street festival in the U.S.—and a heated debate over the new "Acorn" intersection at the Lloyd and St. Joe. TIMELINE : 00:00 - Introduction to the history of Evansville 03:00 - Angel Mounds and ancient Native American trade 06:15 - 1812: Hugh McGarry Jr. and the first homestead 11:20 - Who was Colonel Robert M.

1. Headline: The Origins of Logan's Lament and Frontier Misidentification Guest Author: Robert G. ParkinsonProfessor Robert G. Parkinson introduces his book, Heart of American Darkness, focusing on the 1775 publication of Logan's Lament. This famous document recorded the reflections of the Mingo chief Logan regarding the 1774 murder of his family. Logan famously blamed the atrocity on Colonel Cresup, a misidentification that persisted for centuries in American lore. Parkinson establishes the complex background of the Ohio River frontier, where land speculation and moving colonial borders created a "simmering civil war" between Maryland and Pennsylvania, involving the patriarchs Thomas Cresup and the diplomat Shikalami. 11750

Howard Franklin, CEO of Ohio River South, joins me to shine light on the evolving political, economic, and demographic landscape of the American South. The question is how these shifts have changed the electorate and created opportunities for a new wave of political candidates. The most effective ways to reach Southern voters still include traditional in-person engagement alongside digital outreach to reach urban, suburban, and rural communities. Howard and I talk about Outdated historical perspectives about Southern voters Where Southern voters live and why people are moving to the region Strategies for reaching an increasingly diverse and younger population of voters The continued importance of retail politics and opportunities for authentic interactions with candidates #OhioRiverSouth #HowardFranklin #SouthernVoters #PoliticalStrategy #CampaignManagement #SouthernPolitics #VoterOutreach #ElectionStrategy #PoliticalConsulting #Demographics #DigitalPolitics #Election2026 OhioRiverSouth.com

Is the Mothman a harbinger of doom, or simply a predator of the Appalachian woods? In this episode of Spooky Appalachia, we examine two incredible accounts from hunters and fishermen who came face-to-face with a winged nightmare.First, we travel to Floyd County, Virginia, on Thanksgiving morning, 2019. A turkey hunter's successful shot is interrupted by a bone-chilling screech and the sight of a 7-foot-tall creature perched in the skeletal branches of an oak tree. With glowing amber-red eyes and a massive wingspan, this entity seemed to be stalking the same woods as the hunter—leaving him to wonder if the encounter was a warning of the global lockdowns that were soon to follow.Then, we look back at a chilling 1970s encounter near Addison, West Virginia. A local fisherman named Reece followed a haunting wail from the Ohio River to a place called Brian's Run, only to find a "breathing ball of brush" that transformed into a tall, dark humanoid. This story takes an even darker turn when Reece returns to find his boat burned to ashes and a mysterious Man in Black visiting his home, forcing his family to flee the state forever.Key highlights from this episode:The terrifying physical description of a modern-day Mothman sighting.The connection between cryptid sightings and the mysterious Men in Black.Why these entities seem drawn to outdoorsmen in remote areas.Do you have a story from the woods?

We just wrapped up the story of Kara Garvin, sentenced to life without parole for a crime she says she didn't commit, we have heard her version of events and explored the case against her but now it's time to get the opinion of the man they call 'The Voice of Reason' a man with over 30 years experience as a criminal defence attorney from Chicago Illinois, it is Michael Leonard. Kara Garvin grew up in Franklin Furnace, Ohio, a small, tight-knit community nestled along the Ohio River, the kind of place where everybody knows everybody, and where the OxyContin crisis of the early 2000s didn't just make the news, it moved in next door. Like so many in her community, Kara's life became entangled with addiction. And like so many, that entanglement would come to define how the world saw her.On the evening of the 22nd of December 2008, three days before Christmas, Edward Mollett, his wife Juanita, and their daughter Christina were shot and killed inside their mobile home in Franklin Furnace. A six year old boy, covered in blood, ran down the hill to a neighbour's house for help. Within hours, Kara Garvin had voluntarily walked into the Scioto County Sheriff's Office. By morning, she was facing three counts of aggravated murder.She has never stopped saying she didn't do it.In this series, I sit down with Kara inside the prison where she has spent the last sixteen years of her life. We go back to the beginning — her childhood, her struggles, the community that shaped her — and we walk, step by step, through the night of the 22nd of December, the investigation that followed, and the trial that put her away. We examine the state's case, the evidence, the witnesses, and the questions that Kara says have never been adequately answered.Three people lost their lives that night. A family was destroyed.

In “Virginia Has the Blue Catfish Blues,”Gravy reporter Anya Groner takes listeners to the Chesapeake Bay, where, over the past decade, invasive blue catfish have derailed the ecosystem in the East Coast's largest fish nursery. Native to the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio River basins, blue catfish were first stocked in the bay's tributary rivers in the 1970s to provide a new trophy fish for recreational anglers. At the time, no one predicted that a freshwater catfish could make its way into the brackish waters of the Chesapeake Bay, much less outcompete native crabs, oysters, and fish. The impact has been devastating for the environment and for the seafood industry. Generational watermen are going out of business, and most of the fishmongers who buy and process their catch have shut their doors. Yet, Dr. Michael Schwarz, associate director of Virginia Tech's Seafood and Agricultural Research & Extension Center, says there's a lucrative way to manage the population of this expanding apex predator and reinvigorate the seafood industry.  Blue catfish happen to be delicious. Studies show that managed correctly, a blue catfish fishery could have an economic impact of $1.1 billion and create 7,000 new jobs. “ The easiest solution for anything is to eat it,” says Kyle Rowley, the chief operating officer of Skrimp Shack, a fourteen-restaurant franchise in Virginia and North Carolina. As a topwater predator, blue catfish don't have the muddy flavor sometimes associated with farmed catfish. And Rowley says, they fry beautifully. Three years ago, he added blue catfish to Skrimp Shack's menu. “We're doing something right that is actually helping our fellow Virginians, and we enjoy that.” But building a market for an invasive species is an inherent conflict of interest, says Dr. Mary Fabrizio, a biologist at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. “Basically you're starting the fishery to put itself out of business,” she says. If the fishery is as lucrative as some predict it can be, the goal could switch from shrinking the population to maintaining it. Fabrizio's computer models show that unless a very high number of catfish are pulled from the bay, culling catfish won't rejuvenate native fish. Join Groner as she travels from the docks of the Chesapeake Bay to marine labs and restaurants, asking watermen, fishmongers, scientists, and restaurateurs to ask what it will take to build a blue catfish market and whether it's possible to balance the needs of the seafood industry and the ecosystem.

The Pure Report podcast went on location to the Pittsburgh Pure User Group, set against the backdrop of the Ohio River, to celebrate the GA launch of the Everpure and Nutanix solution. We interviewed a lineup of guests—including David Stevens, Expedient's Rob McCafferty, Don Poorman, and Systems Engineer Adam Hill—who all gathered with customers and partners to discuss the excitement surrounding the new offering. Stevens emphasized the highly integrated nature of the solution, which simplifies setup to just a few operations on the array and in Nutanix . The momentum around the solution is growing - a month after the GA announcement, this event is the perfect forum to answer customer questions and showcase the solution's ease of use and ability to replicate the operational experience virtualization administrators prefer. Our discussion shifts to the business value of the solution, specifically addressing customer challenges like finding alternatives to existing virtualization platforms, reducing costs, and hedging bets against recent industry changes. Guests note that the new architecture helps organizations keep data on-premises to meet regulatory requirements, while still enabling them to burst new workloads into the cloud. The episode features Rob McCafferty, Chief Solutions Officer at Expedient, who details their role as a beta customer and launch partner for the Pure and Nutanix offering. Expedient, a long-time customer of both companies, is thrilled to provide clients with the flexibility and the optionality unlocked by bringing together two industry leaders, with clients already in the queue for deployment. Expedient focuses on delivering reduced risk, cost control, and stability in their platforms for clients. The episode concludes by focusing on the power of Pure user groups, which are described as crucial venues for peer-to-peer interaction and sharing knowledge about topics like cyber, AI, and virtualization. Technical Evangelist Don Poorman points out that the success of the joint solution is due to the similar customer-focused cultures of Pure and Nutanix. Poorman advises customers to view the new virtualization optionality as a bigger exercise than just cost savings, recommending they consider the long-term effects on automation and cyber security. He also advocates for Pure's forward-looking technology investment in NVMe over TCP, which he sees as more robust than Fiber Channel for the next 15 years. The team encourages customers to step up and lead future user group events to continue building the community, both physically and on the Pure Community digital platform.

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of Rick and Mandy from southern Ohio, who have spent years encountering something they can't fully explain in the forests surrounding the Ohio River. Living in a region known for dense woods, winding back roads, and hidden pockets of activity, they share how a simple day of hiking turned into a series of ongoing encounters that continue to unfold.Describing moments of being followed through the trees, hearing unexplained vocalizations, and discovering massive footprints and unusual structures, Rick and Mandy paint a vivid picture of a place where the normal rules of the woods don't seem to apply. Their experiences span remote trails, cemeteries, and quiet stretches of forest where something always seems just out of sight.They also explore the deeper side of what they've witnessed, from strange environmental changes to encounters that challenge the boundary between physical and unexplained phenomena. Over time, their curiosity has grown into a dedicated effort to understand what shares these woods with them.Join us as we follow Rick and Mandy's ongoing journey through southern Ohio, where each trip into the forest brings new questions—and the feeling that something is always watching from just beyond the tree line.

We go back to the beginning — her childhood, her struggles, the community that shaped her — and we walk, step by step, through the night of the 22nd of December, the investigation that followed, and the trial that put her away. We examine the state's case, the evidence, the witnesses, and the questions that Kara says have never been adequately answered.Three people lost their lives that night. A family was destroyed. A six year old boy saw things no child should ever see.

The Devil Within Wings of Prophecy — Part Two: The Final Witnesses At 5:04 PM on December 15, 1967, the Silver Bridge collapsed into the Ohio River. In less than a minute, forty-six lives were lost. But in the days leading up to the disaster, the people of Point Pleasant believed they had been watching something — or something had been watching them. In Part Two of Wings of Prophecy, we follow the Mothman legend to its devastating conclusion, tracing the final sightings, the growing sense of unease across the town, and the tragedy that forever linked folklore with one of America's deadliest infrastructure failures.  Mothman 2 As winter closed in, witnesses reported that the sightings were changing. The creature that once appeared suddenly and vanished just as quickly now lingered in plain sight — perched, watching, almost as if standing vigil. One of the final reported encounters came just days before the collapse. By then, Point Pleasant had transformed. National attention brought curiosity seekers, investigators, and skeptics. Businesses leaned into the legend. Others resented the spectacle. Beneath it all, anxiety spread — strange dreams, unusual animal behavior, and a growing sense that something was wrong. Then came the engineering reality. Unseen inside the bridge's structure, a microscopic crack in a critical steel component had been growing for months — invisible to inspections at the time. Each passing vehicle added stress. Each day brought the structure closer to failure. On a December evening filled with Christmas shoppers, commuters, and families heading home, that hidden flaw reached its breaking point. The collapse was sudden. Catastrophic. Irreversible. In this episode:     •    The final reported Mothman sightings before the disaster     •    How Point Pleasant changed during thirteen months of national attention     •    The structural failure that caused the Silver Bridge collapse     •    Eyewitness accounts from the moments before and after the tragedy     •    How folklore and trauma became permanently intertwined in the community In the aftermath, the sightings stopped. The creature was never reported again. But the legend remained — not just as a monster story, but as a way for a grieving community to make sense of sudden, senseless loss. Because sometimes the mystery isn't whether something supernatural happened. Sometimes the mystery is how people survive what did.

This week's episode takes a storytelling approach to fisheries management with Jay Herrala of the Rivers and Streams Research Branch of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. Jay walks us through the history behind today's bass populations — starting with the changes that shaped both Kentucky's lakes and the Ohio River — and how those shifts led to the current conditions anglers see on the water. From there, he explains an experimental project aimed at improving bass fishing on multiple fronts: relocating bass from overcrowded lakes to the Ohio River to help create better growth potential in those lakes, while also supporting river populations that have struggled with natural recruitment. Jay shares what this effort looks like on the ground and what early results are showing from the research side. Beyond the science, Jay brings a wealth of on-the-water experience across Kentucky's lakes and streams — and he shares his “Best-of-the-Best” fishing destinations around the state. If you're looking for new places to fish or want insight on where to plan your next trip, you won't want to miss his recommendations. As always, we mix in some stories, conversation, and a little behind-the-scenes insight into how fisheries management really works in Kentucky.

Bacon can kill you in vast number of ways.In this one, Ian and Liv revisit the first episode of Disaster Hour: THE one and only Lucy Walker Steamboat, and, of course, her devastating explosion on the Ohio River. Steam engine technology was unregulated, the engineers had no formal training, and alcohol was in the air. Surely, nothing can wrong, right? Well, it can, and don't call me "Shirley."Also, Ian holds a grudge against a former coworker. Liv reminisces on growing up with an Italian mother.

The Devil Within Wings of Prophecy — Part One: The Watchers in the Dark Something was watching Point Pleasant. Before the headlines. Before the legend. Before the bridge fell. In Part One of Wings of Prophecy, we begin a two-part investigation into one of the most chilling and enduring mysteries in American folklore — the wave of strange sightings that gripped a small West Virginia town in the thirteen months before tragedy struck. The story begins on a quiet November night in 1967, when four young people driving near an abandoned TNT plant encountered something impossible: a towering, winged figure with glowing red eyes that appeared to follow their car at highway speeds. What they reported would become the first of dozens of sightings. And the beginning of something far bigger than a local ghost story. As word spread, more witnesses came forward. A respected barber described strange lights — and the disappearance of his dog. Residents reported massive shapes flying over roads, perching on rooftops, and watching from the darkness beyond town. Law enforcement took statements. A journalist arrived. The story spread. And slowly, the community began to divide — believers and skeptics, fear and ridicule, curiosity and dread. But beneath the growing legend was something deeper: A town beginning to feel watched. Studied. Waited for. In this episode:     •    The first terrifying encounter near the TNT area     •    Deputy Halstead's investigation and the growing number of eyewitness reports     •    The arrival of reporter Mary Hyre and the national attention that followed     •    Strange animal behavior, unexplained lights, and escalating fear     •    How the legend of the Mothman took hold inside a community under pressure Because sometimes the most powerful monsters aren't just what people see. They're what fear does to a town. And while residents debated whether the creature was real… something else was happening in Point Pleasant. Something no one could see. A microscopic flaw inside the Silver Bridge — slowly growing, quietly weakening the structure that held the town together. Thirteen months later, that bridge would collapse into the Ohio River in less than sixty seconds, killing 46 people. And the question that still haunts the town remains: Was the Mothman a warning… Or was it simply waiting?

For years, I've been asked the same question. Are the Chicago winged humanoids the same beings reported near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in 1966 and 1967? And if so, what exactly are they?In this episode, I examine multiple non-Chicagoland winged humanoid encounters, including cases from Missouri, Florida, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and the Ohio River corridor. Each case is directly compared with structurally similar sightings from the 2017 Chicago wave.We analyze height variation, red-eyed manifestations, wing concealment, highway corridor crossings, tree-perch behavior, and ground-to-air transitions. Are we looking at a single distributed species with regional differences, multiple related morphotypes, or a phenomenon that transcends conventional biological explanation?The larger question remains. Are these beings Earth-dwelling creatures navigating hidden terrain corridors, or are they ultraterrestrial entities sharing our environment in ways we barely understand?This is not speculation. This is a pattern comparison across decades.If you have experienced an unexplained encounter or sighting, visit Phantoms and Monsters https://phantomsandmonsters.com to submit & share your story.

This past year, producer and host of AFB Possibilities Tony Stephens traveled to west Virginia to capture the stories of six individuals who are blind or have low vision. Traveling by train from the East Coast, he experienced first hand the states beauty and ruggedness as they crawled through the Appalachian Mountains before settling on the banks of the Ohio River. What he discovered was a strong spirit of independence standing on the shoulders of communities that strive to take care of one-another. The same values that made these mountain towns thrive in the early days of our nation's founding remain just as strong today in the stories of these six individuals: Heather, Lee, Earl, Asher, John and Aaron. The stories were featured in the 2025 documentary short film Unseen Horizons, which is available to watch on YouTube. A production of the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB), the documentary film was made possible through the generous support of the Teubert Foundation. Produced and edited by Tony Stephens at the Pickle Factory in Baltimore, Maryland with digital media support from Kelly Gasque and Breanna Kerr. Theme music for this episode is "As Far As the Eye Can See" by Tristan Barton licensed through ArtList.IO.

In honor of Black History Month, we're revisiting the story of Alberta Jones — Louisville's first Black woman prosecutor and a civil rights trailblazer. On August 4, 1965, Alberta left her home after a late-night phone call. Hours later, her body was found floating in the Ohio River. The investigation was marked by conflicting timelines, missing evidence, and suspects who were never charged. Decades later, police claimed they knew who was responsible — but said they couldn't prosecute. Sixty years later, Alberta Jones' murder remains unsolved. Her story deserves to be remembered.

Chris Lawrence opens this episode of West Virginia Outdoors with a wintery scene from the Greer Lime Company Studio before turning the focus to Groundhog Day at the West Virginia Wildlife Center in French Creek. New center manager Mark Biller previews the 49th annual celebration, explains the biology of groundhogs as true hibernators, and walks through how French Creek Freddy makes his prediction. The show then shifts south to an in-depth update on West Virginia's elk herd, as DNR elk project leader Randy Kelly explains winter darting operations, herd health, calf numbers, tracking collars, and why strong mast conditions have scattered elk across the landscape. In the final segment, Lawrence crosses the Ohio River to discuss a severe EHD outbreak with Ohio Wildlife Officer Chris Gilke, examining how the disease devastated deer numbers in Meigs County and highlighting a community-driven venison donation effort to support local food pantries. A wide-ranging, informative episode that blends wildlife science, conservation, tradition, and community impact.

When the headless body of a pregnant young woman was found across the Ohio River from Cincinnati in 1896, the shock of the discovery was felt far beyond the region. As the story of the young woman was revealed, it became a crime that was tailor-made for the popular culture of the era. The horror of the crime, its characters, and its cause created a melodrama that could only be found in pulp novels -– a villain deflowers a pretty young girl and then murders her to cover up her unplanned pregnancy so that he can continue to live a life of debauchery.Such a tragedy understandably resonated with the public, prompting stories, legends, and even a folk ballad. You see, this tale became a warning to young women of the era to practice chastity and to avoid the mortal sin of abortion, a crime so heinous, religious figures claimed, that the Devil himself had a hand in in its continued existence.Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Shopify: https://shopify.com/hauntings* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code HAUNTINGS for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/american-hauntings-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

I only know one person who can claim >60 years of federal service.  This episode's guest, Mike Spoor.  Mike spent those years with the US Army Corps of Engineers Huntington District (in West Virginia on the banks of the Ohio River) and even more years before that as a contractor to the Kansas City District.But Mike did not just log federal service.  He focused curiosity and insight with a relentless field program to convert those years into insight.  Mike's decades of stories on the Ohio River and it's tributaries, and the impact of disturbances old (glaciers) and new (coal mining) is exactly the sort of conversations I had in mind when I launched this project.  I don't think we got to 10% of Mike's stories, but somehow managed to cover an impressive range of river processes and projects, and some real insight on how he approaches rivers. I talked to Mike about the history of the Ohio River, the flood of record, and untangling the role of glacial-legacy soils on bank failure processes...and how a careful, causal understanding of these processes helped him identify the most cost-effective approach to mittigate them.  We also talked about the impact of coal mining on rivers and reservoirs and the island erosion and restoration work that led to his Golden Eagle award.  It was a fun and informative conversation and I'm thrilled to share it.(The interlude music in this episode is Dusty Horizons by Score Wizzard and HEC did the editing on this one).This series was funded by the Regional Sediment Management (RSM) program.Mike Loretto edited the first three seasons and created the theme music.Tessa Hall is editing most of Season 4.Stanford Gibson (HEC Sediment Specialist) hosts.Video shorts and other bonus content are available at the podcast website:https://www.hec.usace.army.mil/confluence/rasdocs/rastraining/latest/the-rsm-river-mechanics-podcast...but most of the supplementary videos are available on the HEC Sediment YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/stanfordgibsonIf you have guest recommendations or feedback you can reach out to me on LinkedIn or ResearchGate or fill out this recommendation and feedback form: https://forms.gle/wWJLVSEYe7S8Cd248

Summer 1936: Rainey Bethea, a young Black man, is tried for the rape and murder of an elderly white woman. The all-white, all-male jury takes just four and a half minutes to find him guilty. Bethea is hanged near the banks of the Ohio River in Owensboro, Kentucky, with more than twenty thousand white people in attendance. The crowd turns the violent spectacle of Bethea's hanging—the last documented public execution in the United States—into a brutal carnival. Bethea's story came to author Sonya Lea through her family, and it is through her family that she reckons with its truths. At her grandmother's funeral, Lea received an oral history recorded by a neighbor. In its pages, Lea, who is descended from white Kentuckians on both sides, discovered that two of the spectators at Bethea's execution were her grandparents, teenage newlyweds Sherrel and Frances Ralph. Lea's research would also divulge that she was related to the prosecuting attorney for the Commonwealth, the man considered most responsible for Bethea's hanging. American Bloodlines: Reckoning with Lynch Culture (University Press of Kentucky, 2025) combines memoir with reportage and cultural criticism to interrogate and complicate the traditional narrative about how lynch culture is created in families, communities, and institutions. The essays in this collection grapple with our complicity in these atrocities—including the agreement in our silences—and demonstrate how we, as descendants, might take responsibility and bring new scrutiny to ancestral and communal crimes. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

THE MASSACRE AT YELLOW CREEK AND THE POWER VACUUM Colleague Professor Robert G. Parkinson. Following the British withdrawal from Fort Pitt, a power vacuum triggered a border civil war and increased tension with Native peoples. On April 30, 1774, Logan's family—including his mother, brother, and sister—were lured into a tavern at Baker's Bottom on the Ohio River under the guise of diplomacy. While they engaged in a shooting contest, men hiding in a back room, led by Daniel Greathouse, ambushed and murdered them. Although Michael Cresap was blamed, he was thirty miles away at Catfish Camp during the massacre, though he had been leading armed settlers nearby. NUMBER 3

In early September of 1799, the Stone Expedition reunited deep in the unmapped wilderness beyond the Ohio River. Nine men gathered at the designated rendezvous, carrying fresh provisions and renewed hope. They could not have known that within weeks, two of them would be dead, and the survivors would carry secrets that would haunt their bloodlines for generations.This episode chronicles the expedition's darkest chapter as they pressed deeper into forbidden territory than any Europeans had ventured before. The creatures that had watched them for months began gathering in unprecedented numbers, converging from all directions toward something none of the men could see but all could feel drawing them forward. When the expedition crossed into hostile territory without realizing it, the fragile peace they had built shattered in a single night of violence that left Henri Beaumont scattered across a forest clearing in pieces too small to bury. But the horror of that night was only the beginning. Guided by creatures whose motives remained unknowable, the surviving members discovered a hidden valley—a vast sanctuary concealed between mountain walls where hundreds, perhaps thousands, of these beings had lived in complete isolation since before human civilization began.What they found in the caves of that valley would challenge everything they believed about the natural world and reveal a relationship between humans and these ancient creatures far more terrible than any of them had imagined. The bones told the story. Scattered. Broken. Some fossilized with the weight of millennia, others bearing traces of recent flesh. Teeth marks near the joints. Evidence of breaking for marrow. The native warnings had not been exaggeration. They had been truth. This episode also documents the final descent of Will Harper, the expedition's artist, whose mind had been unraveling since his first encounter with the creatures months before. His death in a forest clearing—surrounded by silent witnesses, his heart simply stopped, his face frozen in an expression of terrible transcendence—remains one of the most haunting passages in the Stone journals.Two men entered that valley who would never leave it. The seven who survived would carry the weight of what they witnessed for the rest of their lives, bound by an oath of secrecy that would echo through their descendants for two hundred years.Some knowledge demands a price. Some truths are paid for in blood.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

A charming West Virginia river town. A historic hotel on the Ohio River. A quiet Tuesday night that should've been forgettable. Two men check in for a simple business trip in Parkersburg and walk into a lobby that feels… wrong. No staff at the front desk. No other guests milling around. Just the hush of a building that seems to be waiting for something. Or someone. Then the elevator doors open. Inside stands a woman dressed decades out of time—hat, laced-up boots, skin almost drained of color. She speaks like she belongs there. The problem? The floor she's headed to is closed for renovations. And when she glides out into the hallway, the men realize what they can't see is far more unsettling than what they can. Later that night, a knock at 2 a.m. confirms it: some guests never really check out of this hotel. #realghoststoriesonline #hauntedhotel #parkersburg #hauntedwestvirginia #ghoststory #trueghoststories #paranormalpodcast #hauntedplaces #ghosttour #elevatorghost #spooky #supernatural  Love real ghost stories?

PREVIEW — Elizabeth Peek — The Two-Track American Economy: Retail Gains vs. Job Anxiety. Peakcharacterizes the American economy as a bifurcated system with starkly divergent outcomes. Upper-income earners express confidence regarding net worth and stock market performance. Conversely, substantial cohorts remain anxious about labor market conditions, evidenced by negative ADP private sector employment gains and college graduates facing difficulty securing positions. Positive retail indicators, notably Kohl's raising earnings guidance, provide counterbalancing economic optimism. 1885 Ohio River

This week we've got a cryptid double feature—and we're taking our storytelling outside. At night. Surrounded by the woods. Maximum spooky camping vibes. First, we dive into the legend of the Nuckelavee, a skinless horse-demon from Scottish folklore whose rancid breath was said to spread disease and death across the land. Then, we wade into the mystery of the Green Clawed Beast of the Ohio River, a clawed cryptid that once dragged a woman underwater, leaving behind strange scratches and an eerie green handprint. Between chilling cryptid folklore and the dark woods around us, every snap of a twig and rustle in the night had us jumping—and you'll feel like you were right there with us.
