October 31, 1963. It was a chilly fall night in the small town of Cedar Creek, Indiana. Parents of 6 year old Tony and 17 year old Sandy came home from running an errand. Pulling into their driveway they found Tony sitting in the front yard, catatonic. Inside the house they found a very bloody scene. Sandy had been stabbed to death, her murderer, little Tony. Child murderers, now there’s a haunting topic. But this story doesn’t end in 1963. Beth takes us to 1978, when Tony, now age 21, escaped from the mental institution he had been confined to since the murder of his sister. Listen as Beth tells the progressively bloody story that occurred after Tony’s escape.

We love stories of personal witnessing of the paranormal! Bettina was able to gather several experiences shared by friends/ listeners. Stories ranging from a conversation outside a hospital room with a distressed Doctor’s spirit, a little boy playing checkers with his grandfather, who had died, to the very haunting story of the spirit of a boy visiting a boy at night beckoning the boy to “come play”. Was the spirit’s intention to lead the boy to his death? Listen as Bettina recounts these and more strange paranormal stories that were told to her.
