Ep. 6: Sumter County Does
In August of 1976, two bodies were discovered by a trucker on a dirt road in Sumter County. They had been murdered in cold blood and left exposed for anyone to find. It was evident that they were not from South Carolina, but the police had little to go on. Almost 45 years had passed with no leads on identifying the victims or their killer. It seemed as if the answers would never come. Two missing persons with families concerned of their whereabouts and dwindling hope as the years went on, fearing that they would never get closure. That was, until recently…

Ep. 5: Creepy Clown Sightings of 2016
Coulrophobia is, by definition, the fear of clowns. According to the Cleveland Clinic website, those who fear clowns may experience extreme, irrational reactions when they see them in person or in various forms of media. So when creepy clown sightings started popping up in 2016, it created a full-blown panic across the country. Reports and videos of these "Killer clowns" spread like wildfire with claims that some of them were attempting to lure children into the woods. What most people don't realize is that these sightings originated in the upstate of South Carolina. What was the inspiration for these clown...
