December 26, 2020 • 6 mins

A quick reading of Twas the Night Before Christmas (aka A Visit from St. Nicholas) as performed online on 12/24/20. This poem is by Clement C. Moore, first published in 1823, read by many, but perhaps immortalized by American singer/pianist/actor Liberace, who released it on vinyl in 1974 on the label Mistletoe Records.

    Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders

    Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders takes you back to 1983, when two teenagers were found murdered, execution-style, on a quiet Texas hill. What followed was decades of rumors, false leads, and a case that law enforcement could never seem to close. Now, veteran investigative journalist M. William Phelps reopens the file — uncovering new witnesses, hidden evidence, and a shocking web of deaths that may all be connected. Over nine gripping episodes, Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders unravels a story 42 years in the making… and asks the question: who’s really been hiding the truth?
