Hi friends, how are you today? I hope you're having a wonderful day so far. My name is Bailey

0:04.8

Sarian and today is Monday, which means it's murder, mystery, and makeup Monday. Hello, we're

0:19.1

if you are new here, hi, my name is Bailey Sarian and on Mondays I sit down and I talk about true

0:24.3

crime story that's been heavy on my noggin and I do my makeup at the same time, but this time we're

0:31.6

going to be talking about some Halloween stories while I get ready for a Halloween party that I was

0:36.8

not invited to. Awesome, so I will stop rambling and let's get right into it. So the year is 1966,

0:44.2

a small town situated on the Ohio River is a place called Point Pleasant, West Virginia.

1:45.3

fun, but whatever. So in November of 1966, a man by the name of Roger Scarberry was driving just

1:54.2

just a couple miles up from Point Pleasant. In the car with Roger was his wife, Linda, their friend

2:00.4

Steve, Mary, and then their cousin, Lonnie. So they were all pretty familiar with the area,

2:06.5

and they were near the Maclintic Wildlife Management Area. And this was a nature preserve that had
