In this episode, Amber & Lisa discuss three different, very intriguing and old Arkansas Folktales.

The first folktale is set in Helena Arkansas in the late 1800's, the tale is about the dog Pedro (an Irish Setter) who is said to sit at his deceased owners grave until he himself passes away two years later. His owner, Dr. Moore, died by homicide from another Dr. that was acquitted on the charges based on self-defense. Listen and you decide.

The second tale, is located in "Ghost Hollow"; which is located allegedly in our Western region near Fort Smith area. According to lore the area received it's name from a bride that caught on fire on her wedding night.

The third tale is about the origins of Pettit Jean Mountain and the tale of Pettit Jean or Little John. Very intriguing, and romantic tale of love in the new world.

Listen to all the interesting folktales and go back and listen to the other two volumes.

In 1981, in Dickinson, North Dakota, Priscilla Dinkel and her granddaughter Danelle would be found murdered in the Swanson Motel. They had only been in Dickinson a short time when this occurred. Additionally, Dickinson had never seen a double homicide before. It would take 10 years before there would be any helpful movement in the case.

The biggest break and best tool would be the FBI Behavior Science Unit Profile of the killer based on the crime scene.

Please listen, share and leave us a 5 star review.

In this episode of Unexplained Arkansas, Lisa and Amber discuss the Ghosts of the Arkansas Capitol Building. The Arkansas Capitol began construction in 1899--it rests on top of what once was the State's Penitentiary. The Penitentiary had been home to prisoners for 60 years--so 60 years of many deaths and burials. Upon beginning construction, the Capitol is said that they tried their best to relocate all the burials; however, historians believe that fragments of bones could still remain...

Additionally, a tragic death of a Statesman in 1932 solidifies a very ghostly building now and beautiful.
