Summary

We’ve heard many stories of “cursed lands''. Usually, it’s surrounding a colonizer building on indigenous American land who is then dealt a nasty curse, think Poltergeist. Cursed land stories only continue the misconceptions surrounding what are perceived as “mysterious” cultures like indigenous Americans or gypsies. If a piece of land isn’t cursed, can it still harbor evil? Can a location continually be a draw for those that wish others harm? Today I’ll be telling the stories of Barbara Tucker, Jennifer Tchier, Mindi Thomas, Lila Moler, Stephanie Russell, and Alexandria Ison- connecting a serial killer to bodies that have been found on or around a community college in Gresham, Oregon.
