Hello folks! It’s Quinn and Laura, and we have returned from the ether to discuss news from the world of true crime. In this episode, Quinn discusses the 1991 Austin Yogurt Shop Murders. Although this episode (and the crime itself) is centered around Austin, Texas, there is a Kentucky connection—we promise. Trigger warnings galore though because this story is brutal and grisly.

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 this frightening spirit.

What are Andrew Thornton and his criminal cohorts up to in 1982-ish? We find out in this episode of Creepy Kentucky! Also we say farewell to Andre Braugher and discuss some news from the Crystal Rogers case.

In this episode, which is dedicated to Olivia the Corgi, we visit Tangentville again—this time on the bus! Also we get even deeper into the shady machinations behind the Bluegrass Conspiracy.

We get even deeper into the legendary Bluegrass Conspiracy in this episode, with even more shady connections and yet another missing young woman. Also, we talk about what TV was like in the past!

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 episode, we start by discussing the big news out of Bardstown: the arrest of a suspect in the Crystal Rogers case. After that, we jump back into the Bluegrass Conspiracy and learn about how the main characters expanded their criminal empire.

At long last! In this episode, we finally begin to discuss the infamous Bluegrass Conspiracy, which enveloped the Lexington area (and spread far afield) in the 70’s and 80’s. Here we set the scene and meet some of the key players.

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 about mental health, possible domestic violence, etc.

On this episode of Creepy Kentucky, we discuss some of the UFO encounters which have happened in the Bluegrass State but haven’t received as much publicity as the Stanford Encounter and the Thomas Mantell case have.

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, and Laura’s beloved Maple Hill Manor.

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 reasons).
