This week, we’re heading to the beautiful Bluegrass State—Kentucky! Kenzie kicks things off with a chilling reminder of one of humanity’s oldest fears: being buried alive. In the 18th and 19th centuries, this wasn’t just a nightmare—it was a very real concern, especially for the Hatcher family of Pikeville. According to local legend, Octavia Hatcher was buried alive, and her restless spirit is said to haunt the cemetery where she was laid to rest. Then, Lauren dives into the shocking case of Amy Bosley—a successful businesswoman, devoted mother of two, and seemingly perfect wife. But in the spring of 2005, the illusion shattered, revealing a web of secrets that would leave the entire community stunned. Join us as we uncover Kentucky’s eerie legends and hidden crimes. Happy Pride!
