COUSINS! The kooky and spooky has been TURNT UP this week! Jess takes us along for the kooky cryptid tale of Oklahoma’s famed Stikini, while Tiff explores another haunted building; the Knox Building of Enid. While one story focuses on the Seminole lore of a vampiric owl-man, the other will lead listeners to wonder just what went on for 40 years while this Oklahoma site stood vacant. So enjoy one of Oklahoma’s spring evenings (can you hear the thunder in the background of the recording?) while catching up with your favorite cousins!
This week, your favorite cousins will dive into the mysteries around the Oklahoma Panhandle, as well as the nation’s 6th deadliest fire, the Babbs Switch Fire. Take a ride through history as Jess describes the lawlessness and adventure only an Oklahoman could understand! Tiff explores the tragedy of the Babbs Switch Christmas Eve fire, where one innocent spark took down an entire school house and 36 (or was it 37?) lives were lost.
Time to turn up the kooky and spooky factor! This week, your favorite cousins, along with guest host cousin Ava, dive into the NUMEROUS theories surrounding the mysterious disappearance and deaths of the Jamison Family out of Eufuala, OK. From cult sacrifices to the witness protection program to murder-suicide, your cousins will dish out the facts, and dish on some opinions. We’d love to hear your thoughts, theories, and beliefs surrounding this truly baffling case. Comment below!!
Special thanks to AVA for joining us this week! We can’t wait to have her on again!
Ready for a tale that is both kooky and spooky? Tiff dives into the mysterious and conspiracy centered disappearance and death of the Jamison Family of Eufuala, OK. Requested by listener Brandy McGinley, part 1 takes a look at the family background, dynamics, and strange way they simply appeared to pack up and vanish from the Palona Mountains. Investigators were baffled by all the evidence and theories that all could have been feasible. Dive with Tiff and Jess while they discuss the possibilities behind what could have made this family of 3 walk away from it all…or could it be foul play…witness protection…the world may never know.
Make sure to tune in next week, with special guest Ava, when we explore all the theories behind one of Oklahoma’s most recent who-done-its.
A soft rain is pitter-patter-ing down, so that means it's time for a spooky story, right? Take a trip to T-Town to visit one of its MANY spooky and kooky theaters! This week, Tiff gives us the history of both Tulsa's Little Theatre and Spotlight Theatre. Many spirits are said to roam the stages and halls, giving thespians quite the fright. Tulsa’s oldest show can still be seen at the Spotlight, while the Little Theatre boasts a great venue for shows! Additionally, the theaters are architectural shrines to their history! Check out both places on your next trip to Tulsa! Just don’t mind those who are still reaching for the stars…
Let's hear it for the girls! Let's give the girls a hand!
This week, your favorite cousins are covering some BOSS BABES for Women's History Month! First, Tiff will scratch the surface of Oklahoma's Angel, Kate Barnard, progressive reformer during the time when women's voices in politics were shunned and ignored. Jess takes a look at professional girls baseball player Earlene "Beans" Risinger. Both of these ladies SHATTERED those glass ceilings, and were proud Oklahomans. Both were tenacious, persistent, and pushed barriers for women.

Are you ready for one of Oklahoma’s first, and relatively unknown, unsolved murders? In 1911, OK Game Warden Charles W Estes, from the Jenks area, was found murdered while on patrol at Turkey Mountain in Tulsa. Several suspicious suspects were cleared. Was it murder by a wayward hunter? How many shots really were fired? Little to no evidence frustrated law enforcement. A missing revolver and money, but a left behind pocket watch is hard to determine if this was an accident or robbery gone wrong. Join your favorite cousins in a Jess-errific murder mystery. What are your theories?
Don’t forget! When we reach 400 followers on Facebook, we will draw a name from our followers. The lucky winner will receive a copy of one of our favorite kooky and spooky books…best of all…the winner gets to pick! Tell you friends!
Do you enjoy taking long walks in the spooky woods? Are you a treasure seeker? If you answered yes, then this week’s episode is for you! Travel with Jess to the Wichita Mountain area and take a peek at Devil’s Canyon. Then travel to Durant with Tiff and visit the haunted stomping grounds of Aunt Jane at Ft. Washita. There’s treasure in them there hills, but trying to find it just might cause you your sanity…
After the heaviness of the last two weeks, your favorite cousins decided to explore some brighter history of our home state. Pioneers in two different areas of Oklahoma history, lawman Bass Reeves and Civil Rights Activist Roscoe Dunjee paved the way for many Oklahomans. Bass Reeves helped bring down the lawless as the first African American Marshall in Oklahoma, and maybe the entire US. Roscoe Dunjee was a self-taught newspaper man, whose life goal was to improve the advancement of other African Americans in his home state of Oklahoma. As editor and chief of the first African American newspaper in OKC, "Black Dispatch". Dunjee used his platform to bring awareness to the different plights people of color were (and many still are today) up against. We hope you enjoy this fascinating dive into early Oklahoma history!
Are you ready for the trial of the century? February 1975 saw just that in Enid, OK! This week, Tiff concludes the two-parter Thrasher Family Murders case with a closer look at Bobby Wayne Collins’ life and the many tales he spun for law enforcement, the judge, and jury. With a high-profile defense attorney named Steven Jones and the evidence with the state seeming to be minimal, the prosecution had their work cut out for them. The goal was justice though, for this innocent, happy family of 4. If you haven’t caught up on Episode 23, go listen to that first before jumping in on Episode 24. Due to the content covered, listener discretion is advised.
