All things Kooky and Spooky in the Sooner (or Cowboy) state! Native Oklahomans and cousins, Jess and Tiff, explore all the dark history, paranormal, and true crime in their home state.
Copyright: © Curious Cousins OK
This week, Tiff shares about the horrific 1974 quadruple homicide of the Thrasher family. Quiet little Woodward, OK would wake up after the Labor Day weekend to discover there's a murderer in their mist. Part 1, of this 2 part series, takes you back to 1974 and the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Thrasher and their two children. This normal, all-American family's deaths caused police to scratch their heads, and pull out all the stops, in order to find the perpetrator. Due to the content covered, listener discretion is advised.
Things that go bump in the night? That seems to be the norm at these two places in Oklahoma! This week, your favorite cousins will take you to Anadarko and Wilburton in search of two very spooky places just soaked in history! Tiff talks about Riverside Indian School, the oldest Native American Boarding School in the USA. It's dark history has led many to believe that several students never left when their final bell rang. Jess explores Robbers' Cave, where many outlaws were reported having hid out...but some don't seem to have left there either! So join the girls on this spooky (and a little kooky) ride!
Ghosts & Legends of Oklahoma by Mike Ricksecker
Is there anything more kooky or spooky than abandoned places? We didn't think so! This week's episode, your favorite cousins explore some abandoned places here in our Great State; Eagle Park Amusement Park in Cashe and Dunjee School in Spencer. Each have vivid and interesting pasts, but their futures are bleak. While funds are trying to be raised to save Eagle Park, Dunjee School has burned, and its future is unknown.
As we mentioned in the show...PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO VISIT OR EXPLORE ABANDONED PLACES WITHOUT FIRST GETTING PERMISSION.
Most all our source material came from Abandoned Oklahoma with all pictures take by Michael Schwarz (Dunjee School) and Emily Cowan (Eagle Park). Please check out Abandoned OK's fb page, Instagram, and website.

This week Jess wraps up this roller coaster ride with theories and a mind-blowing ending! From how Chub hid in plain sight, to the thrilling friendship author Dale R. Lewis formed with the #1 suspect, Jess keeps us on our toes the entire time. Just one question...did you see this one coming?
Please, please, please check out Dale R. Lewis' book "Footprints in the Dew"!!
Are you ready for a roller coaster of a ride? Your favorite cousins have been MIA for a few weeks, but they're back with a case that has more twists than a tornado! In part 1, of this two-part series, Jess tells us all about one of Oklahoma's most notorious unsolved murders...the murder of rancher EC Mullendore III. Spoiler...Jess will leave you hanging on a cliff! Mullendore was a well-known rancher in Northeastern Oklahoma. On September 26, 1970, Mullendore was brutally beaten and shot in the head. Only one person is known to have been in the home and witnessed events of that evening...Damon "Chub" Anderson. But his story is rather...kooky...
