There is a place that is spoken about only in whispers, a dark area that spawns the beginnings of urban legends,

a place where anything can happen and usually does.

During the light of day it hides just outside of you, but when the sun goes down, spirits, creatures of the night,

Rome free and things do go bump in the night.

It is in every state and every country and there is no escaping it.

No matter how safe you view behind your locked doors and latched windows.

So we invite you to turn down the lights and turn up your radio while we join Dave Schrader and Tim Dennis, your hosts, on a journey into the darkness,

on the edge of town.

Hello and welcome. It's a brand new week. You're tuned into the best and paranormal talk radio.

This is Beyond the Darkness. I'm your host Dave Schrader along with me from the supernatural news desk.

Mr. Tim Dennis, today we're going to shift things around a little bit.

We're going to begin with the parachute segment of our show and we'll do a little bit of supernatural news in a bit.

I wanted to start it off this way because I know there's a lot of you that wish we could still take phone calls in here

and people that have had experiences. Well, we've kind of found a way to do that today joining me on the show right now is Keith Scales.

He is the tour manager of the very haunted and historic hotel, the Crescent Hotel.

And he's here to talk to us about this and a really cool event that's coming up there. Thanks a lot for joining us tonight, Keith.

Are you very welcome? Thanks for having me on Dave.

How long have you been associated with the Crescent?

I think I'm going into my seventh year. I started as a ghost tour guide and eventually I managed the tours there at the Crescent Hotel and at the Cister Hotel in New Rico Springs Arkansas,

which is called the Basin Park also has a reputation for being haunted but not nearly as much as the Crescent Hotel.

Why is there such activity right in that general vicinity? And was there a historical battle or fight or something that took place there?

I'm really glad you asked me that because I think it's important to understand the Crescent Hotel yet to understand its location,
