## Resource

Welcome back Friends! I'm Steve Stockton, and in this volume of Strange Mysteries , we're leaving the familiar trails behind and venturing into the unforgiving, isolated landscapes of the Dakotas. From desolate, wind-swept prairies to the shadowy depths of ancient ravines, these lands hold secrets that defy logic and explanation. Join me as we explore 10 baffling cases of high strangeness, unexplained vanishings, and chilling local folklore that will make you rethink what hides out there in the dark. * **The Badlands Banshee:** A spectral figure haunting the jagged cliffs and terrifying early travelers. * **The Ghost Town of Tagus:** A cursed, abandoned settlement reduced to glowing ruins and silent railway tracks. * **The Bizarre Case of Arnold Archambeau & Ruby Bruguier (1992):** An impossible timeline, an abandoned vehicle, and a tragic double disappearance at Lake Andes. * **The Phantom of Mount Moriah:** A ghostly courtship wandering through a historic, hillside cemetery. * **The Dark Spirits of Sica Hollow:** Ancient legends, blood-red water, and eerie phenomena in a forest you should never enter at night. * **UAPs Over the Silos (1966):** Unexplained aerial phenomena swarming heavily guarded military facilities. * **The Vanishing of Barbara Louise Cotton (1981):** The unsettling mystery of a 15-year-old girl who walked out into the Williston prairie and simply faded away. * *(Plus 3 more tales of Dakota high strangeness!)* Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support .
