0:00.0 | 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. |
0:51.6 | This town called Point Pleasant in West Virginia, like I had just said, had a population of about |
0:57.4 | 5,000 people at this time. It seemed like everybody kind of knew each other. I mean a lot of the people |

1:41.0 | if my mind it would be fun, but at the same time if you're trying to be different, it's probably not |
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 |

2:06.5 | and they were near the Maclintic Wildlife Management Area. And this was a nature preserve that had |
