In this episode, we step slightly out of the state to examine the life of one of America's most prolific serial killers: that of Indianapolis native Herb Baumeister. We also look at the spirits he left behind at his house, Fox Hollow Farm. But first we discuss the demolition of Bobby Mackey's Music World and a tragic disappearance in Nashville.…

In this episode, we wind up our coverage of the Bluegrass Conspiracy. The shenanigans of "the company" are almost over -- but it takes a terrible accident to end it. (Or was it an accident?) Plus we discuss possibly the most famous mammal from the whole case: the notorious Cocaine Bear!

On today’s episode of Creepy Kentucky, we’re not actually in the glorious Bluegrass State—but we are very close. We travel to early 1800’s northwest Tennessee and learn about the Bell Witch, the legendary frontier tale of violent poltergeist activity. We discuss the origins, the actual events, possible explanations and modern-day manifestations of …

We are breaking away from our Bluegrass Conspiracy coverage to talk about the exciting news out of Bardstown: namely, the arrest of Crystal’s boyfriend Brooks Houck. Many people have been waiting for this to happen, especially since the FBI took over the case in August 2020. Normal service will resume in the next episode!…

The twists get twistier and the turns get turnier in this, the third episode of the Bluegrass Conspiracy series. The participants get even deeper into their web of crime, while the tendrils expand even farther from Kentucky.

In this week’s episode, we discuss the “Nose Job Murder” which occurred in northern Kentucky. Six bullets were fired into 29-year-old up-and-coming attorney Ryan Poston. There was no question at all about who fired the gun; however, there were a lot of other questions about the situation! This is a very violent story with lots of trigger warnings a…

Like the title says, this is not a podcast about the Oceangate Titan disaster—although you’d have a hard time proving that if you just listened to the first ten minutes. Eventually, however, we do get going on our actual topic of the week: four ghostly places to stay in the commonwealth. We talk about Springhill Winery, the Jailer’s Inn, Hall Place…

This week we delve into a little-known case that is almost 150 years old, yet has a very modern feel to it: the murder of the “Scarlet Woman of Roundstone,” Mary Sigman. Mary and her mother were gunned down in their home by a mysterious assailant, and her past was replete with various people who might have had a motive for murder (for various reaso…

Now that we’ve looked at all thirteen official victims (and several possible unofficial ones), it’s time to look at theories and suspects. We also look a little bit at what happened to the main participants after the torso killer’s reign of terror faded away in Cleveland’s collective memory. And Quinn now has ducks!…

This week we continue our series on the horrific 1930’s-era killings in Cleveland’s Kingsbury Run area.

Finally legendary lawman Eliot Ness orders an act so heartless that it basically signals the beginning of the end of his career.…

Today’s episode features a story I’ve been wanting to do for a long time: the story of the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run, or the Cleveland Torso Murders. We discuss the first victims and the appearance on the scene of famed lawman Eliot Ness.

In this episode of Creepy Kentucky, Quinn discusses several of the aquatic cryptids that (possibly?) call Kentucky home. Weird creatures have been seen in Kentucky’s waterways for (maybe?) hundreds of years, and we look at some from Herrington Lake, Lake Linville, and even the state’s greatest body of water, the mighty Ohio River. Spoiler: Randy is…

We’re back! Our first episode after a long painful absence deals with the weird and wonderful in Kentucky’s renowned Red River Gorge area. Ghosts feature heavily, but we also have a cameo by Bigfoot (possibly) and some strange footprints. Also, we’d like to express our grief for those lost in the Louisville mass shooting of April 10, 2023 and our h…

Greetings, Creepy Kentucky fans! We apologize for the delay in putting out a new episode; it’s been a very rough month for one of us. In this episode, long before the tornado which ripped through Mayfield on December 10, 2021, another tragedy occurred which saw several members of one family killed. The crime was solved, though—or was it? Quinn conn…

In this emotional episode, we discuss the unsolved murder of Louisville’s first African-American (and first female) prosecutor, Alberta Odell Jones. Her inspirational life was brutally ended in 1965, and no one was ever charged for the crime. Who killed this brilliant woman?

From its days as a plantation to the time when it featured water…

In honor of our Historical Advisor Ron Duncan’s recent sojourn in the Uinta Basin, in this episode we are discussing “the paranormal Disneyland,” Skinwalker Ranch. We look at the history of the ranch, its current iteration, and answer the question: just what the heck IS a Skinwalker, anyway? We’re incredibly lucky and grateful to have Ron with us t…

In honor of Quinn’s 1000 days of doing German lessons on Duolingo, she wanted to talk about a topic set in Germany; after consideration, she chose the Hinterkaifeck Murders, which occurred on a lonely farm in Bavaria in 1922. The violence of the killings is matched only by the eerie strangeness of the circumstances in which they took place. Trigger…

This episode was recorded on September 4, 2022, and as we know Queen Elizabeth II, longest reigning British monarch and the former mother-in-law of the subject of the episode, died on that next Thursday, September 8, 2022. We had originally recorded this because the 25th anniversary of Diana’s death had just passed days earlier, and ironically the …

In this episode we take a deep dive into the four-part Discovery Plus series, Finding Andrea. We look at the major characters, discuss the timeline of the disappearance and talk about how the editing of the show affects how the viewer perceives the story.

W…

In this episode we talk about one of the last battles of the Revolutionary War: the Battle of Blue Licks. This was fought on August 19, 1782 near present-day Mount Olivet in Robertson County. What happens when an outnumbered band of tired settlers with floundering leadership faces a much larger force of British and Native Americans with a three day…

This episode finishes our look at the weird and horrific Dyatlov Pass Incident of 1959. We learn about the fates of the remaining four hikers and discuss theories (some possible, some less so) about what led to their tragic fates.

So we have another detour from Kentucky-based stories with this weird mystery from the past: nine experienced hikers disappeared during a trek into the Ural Mountains; after their bodies were found, the confusion only deepened about what could have happened to them. This is a mystery that Quinn has been fascinated by for years, and in this first ep…

[Trigger warnings with this one: mentions of molestation and suicide attempts.]. In this episode we wrap up the case of the spooky Hinsdale House in upstate New York. Things get even weirder for the poor Dandy family, and there’s a possible (probable?) short appearance by Ed and Lorraine Warren, because of course there is.…

Welcome to Season 2 of Creepy Kentucky! We start with an episode of a new sister podcast, Creepy Country, wherein we discuss one of the most haunted houses in America: the Hinsdale House in upstate New York. It’s not hugely well known, but it shares with other famous haunted houses the escalation factor seems to make things extra creepy. Also I dis…

In this episode we discuss the horrific bombing murder of an innocent Kentucky grandmother and begin to trace it back to an era when Bowling Green was known as “Little Chicago.” We discuss as well the inadvisability of owning a lake house and a TV tower. Also, in a radical departure from giving free ideas to the History Channel, this time we give a…

In this episode we take a break from James Wilkinson (thus possibly saving my sanity) to discuss two cases of Kentucky anomalies: sightings of Mothman—before and after the incidents at Point Pleasant—and evidence of Alien (not in the UFO sense) Big Cats in Scott County in the mid-70’s.
  continue reading
 
In this episode, one-time Revolutionary War hero James Wilkinson heads west to Kentucky, where he establishes the city of Frankfort and gets involved with the Spanish Empire, becoming known as Agent 13. Oh, don’t worry—he’s still working for the United States as well!
  continue reading
 
We go back to the time of our Founding Fathers in this episode of Creepy Kentucky and examine the early life of James Wilkinson: Revolutionary War soldier, Kentucky pioneer and person with some non-traditional ideas on the concept of loyalty.

In episode ten, the police, the families, and the ex-husband are growing ever more suspicious of Fritz and Susie and their possible roles in five murders. Also, please continue to support tornado victims if you can!
  continue reading
 
There’s more absolutely batshit weirdness on this episode of Creepy Kentucky, and virtually all of it is from Fritz Klenner and his girlfriend/cousin Susie Lynch. As we head towards the culmination of our story, things just get weirder and sadder as Susie and Fritz’s mental states deteriorate. Also please donate to Kentucky tornado relief if possib…

Apologies for the delay and the sound quality (I might need a new microphone)! In this episode of Creepy Kentucky, we delve into the story of Fritz Klenner, son of Fred (the quack doctor, noted racist, possible Munchausen perpetrator and doomsday prepper). Obviously Fritz is not a great guy in this episode, but it gets so much worse from here out, …

This episode in our Bitter Blood Murders series looks at Susie Newsom’s rocky marriage to Tom Lynch, son of the aforementioned Delores from earlier episodes (see—we promised you it’d circle back around!). There are some descriptions of child abuse in this episode so you might want to fast-forward through those parts.…
  continue reading
 
In this episode we delve further into the North Carolina murders of Bob, Florence and Hattie Newsom, and begin to see just how they connect with the Lynch family murders in Kentucky. Not coincidentally, we learn about the early life of Susie Newsom, Bob and Florence’s daughter. Also, apologies for the audio; it’s not great.…

This week’s episode continues the saga of the so-called Bitter Blood Murders of the mid-80’s. Police made a gruesome discovery at the Louisville-area home of Delores Lynch and her daughter Janie. Their investigation seemed to focus on Delores’s son Tom, who inherited a sizable estate. But was something more sinister going on? Spoiler: yes, yes it w…
