Missouri carries a strange kind of magic—one stitched together from outlaw folklore, Civil War scars, back-road ghost tales, and things no one can quite explain. It’s a state where legends don’t fade; they simply shift, settle, and keep walking. And if anyone knows where those stories hide, it’s Jason Offutt.
In this episode, we step into the shadows with a man who didn’t just study the paranormal—he grew up living with it. Long before he became one of Missouri’s most compelling chroniclers of hauntings, Jason was just a kid in a rural farmhouse where “quiet nights” were anything but. That early brush with the unexplained set him on a lifelong path to uncover the misfits, mysteries, and restless spirits that shape the state’s haunted identity.
From phantom outlaws said to revisit their old stomping grounds, to the oppressive echoes lingering on Civil War battlefields, Jason has dug into stories most people whisper about but never truly investigate. And then there are the stranger accounts—the shadow figures, odd encounters, and the baffling legend of Jim the Wonder Dog.
Missouri isn’t just haunted. It’s layered. It’s unpredictable. And through Jason’s eyes, it becomes a place where history and the supernatural refuse to stay separate. This is Part Two of our conversation.
