Summary

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the chilling history of Oakwood Cemetery in Huntsville, Texas — a place where justice, tragedy, and the supernatural intertwine beneath the looming shadow of the Texas State Penitentiary. From the famous Peckerwood Hill, where executed prisoners lay in unmarked graves, to the whispered legends of restless spirits still wandering the cemetery’s misty paths, we explore the stories buried beneath the soil and the eerie phenomena that refuse to be silenced.

Is Oakwood Cemetery a mere resting place for Texas history, or is it a site of unresolved turmoil that transcends the grave?
