    Ep 178 The Haunted Lighthouses of the Chesapeake Bay Part 2

    The Chesapeake Bay has claimed thousands of ships, but some believe it has never truly released everyone who sailed its waters. In Part 2 of our journey, we leave Maryland behind and head south into Virginia, where lonely offshore lighthouses have stood watch for more than two centuries. Far from shore, lighthouse keepers endured crushing isolation, violent nor'easters, thick fog, hurricanes, and months cut off from the mainland. Their stories became part of Chesapeake folklore—and according to many witnesses, some of those keepers may still be tending their lights. Join us as we investigate the legends, eyewitness accounts, and unexplained mysteries surrounding some of Virginia's most historic lighthouses.

    Ep 177 The Kidnap and Murder of Brittany Locklear

    On the morning of January 7, 1998, five-year-old Brittany Lynn Locklear stood at the end of her family's driveway in rural Raeford, North Carolina, waiting for her school bus—just as she had so many mornings before. When her mother stepped inside for only a few moments, Brittany disappeared. What followed was one of North Carolina's most heartbreaking child abduction cases. Less than twenty-four hours later, Brittany's body was discovered only a few miles from her home. Despite an enormous search effort, hundreds of tips, and decades of investigation, her killer has never been identified. In this episode of Lurk: Stab & Gab, we examine Brittany's final morning, the eyewitness accounts that helped shape the investigation, the physical evidence that detectives still believe could solve the case, and the enduring hope that advances in DNA technology may finally bring justice to a little girl whose life was stolen far too soon.  In This Episode  Brittany Locklear's life and family  The timeline of January 7, 1998  The terrifying abduction from her school bus stop  The massive search that followed  Discovery of Brittany's body  Physical evidence recovered by investigators  The mysterious pickup truck witnesses reported seeing  Persons of interest and investigative leads over the years  Advances in DNA technology and why investigators remain hopeful  How Brittany's case continues to impact her family and the Lumbee community  What listeners can do if they have information Listener Discretion This episode discusses the kidnapping and murder of a young child.

    Ep 176 The Haunted Lighthouses of the Chesapeake Bay Part 1

    For centuries, the lighthouses of the Chesapeake Bay have stood as silent guardians, guiding ships safely through storms, fog, and dangerous shoals. But according to generations of lighthouse keepers, watermen, Coast Guard crews, and visitors, some of these lonely beacons may still be occupied by those who once tended their lights. In Part 1 of this special two-part series, we begin our journey at the northern reaches of Maryland's Chesapeake Bay and travel south, exploring the history, folklore, and reported paranormal activity surrounding some of the region's most historic lighthouses. From phantom keepers climbing empty staircases to mysterious lanterns appearing in abandoned towers, we'll uncover eyewitness accounts, historical records, local legends, and forgotten stories that have echoed across the Bay for generations. Are these simply tales born from isolation and the harsh realities of lighthouse life... or are some keepers still standing watch?

    Ep 173 Ghosts and Curses of Bhangarh Fort

    Nestled at the edge of the Sariska Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan, India, the ruins of Bhangarh Fort have earned a reputation so chilling that visitors are legally forbidden from entering after sunset. Declared one of the most haunted locations in the world, this 17th-century fort is wrapped in legends of curses, obsession, and restless spirits. In this episode of Lurk, we explore the rise and fall of Bhangarh Fort—from its royal origins under the Kachwaha dynasty to the eerie silence that now blankets its temples, palaces, and marketplaces. Locals whisper of shadowy figures, disembodied screams, sudden drops in temperature, and an overwhelming sense of dread felt by those who linger too long. At the heart of the haunting are two enduring legends:  • A powerful curse laid by a holy ascetic after his land was violated  • A sorcerer whose obsession with a princess may have doomed an entire city We’ll examine how these stories intertwine with historical records, why the Archaeological Survey of India enforces strict nighttime bans, and what modern investigators and visitors claim to have experienced among the ruins. Is Bhangarh Fort truly cursed—or is fear itself the most powerful force haunting its walls? Press play, and step carefully. Some places don’t like to be remembered.

    Ep 172 The Colonial Parkway Murders Part 2

    We explore the haunting 1988 disappearance of Keith Call and Cassandra Hailey—no bodies ever found—and the 1989 murders of Annamaria Phelps and Daniel Lauer, whose remains were discovered weeks later in woods near I-64. These cases close out the Colonial Parkway series, with lingering questions about connections to the earlier killings. We cover investigative challenges, family perspectives, and 2024–2026 breakthroughs linking deceased suspect Alan Wade Wilmer Sr. to multiple victims (including recent resolutions for Thomas/Dowski). Some justice delivered, but closure remains elusive for these families. Tips? Contact FBI Norfolk or Virginia State Police.

    Ep 171 The Colonial Parkway Murders Part 1

    Between 1986 and 1987, two young couples vanished or were found murdered along one of Virginia’s most scenic and historic roadways. What initially appeared to be isolated tragedies would later become the opening chapter of one of the most chilling and enduring unsolved serial murder cases in American history. In Part One, we examine the first two confirmed crime scenes connected to the Colonial Parkway Murders — cases that set a disturbing pattern investigators are still trying to understand decades later. Case One: Cathy Thomas & Rebecca Dowski (1986) Cathy Thomas and Rebecca Dowski were a young couple spending a night together near the Colonial Parkway. When they failed to return home, concern quickly turned into fear. Their car and bodies were eventually found. Case Two: David Knobling & Robin Edwards (1987) Less than a year later, David Knobling and Robin Edwards disappeared after an evening together near the James River. Their car was found parked near the water, keys still inside. What followed was a discovery that would escalate fear across the region — both had been brutally murdered, shot at close range. The similarities between the two cases were impossible to ignore. Couples. Secluded locations. A killer who appeared calm, deliberate, and confident. In This Episode The early timeline of the Colonial Parkway MurdersDetailed breakdowns of the first two crime scenesBehavioral patterns emerging from the earliest attacksInitial law enforcement theories — and early misstepsThese cases would mark the beginning of a terror that stretched over years, jurisdictions, and generations of unanswered questions. In Part Two, we’ll examine the next murders attributed to the Colonial Parkway killer — and how the case began to unravel under mounting pressure, conflicting theories, and devastating loss.
