Witches, Magic, Murder, & Myster‪y‬ Megan & Kara

The Jamison Family—Bobby, Sherilynn, and Madyson—vanished from Eufaula, Oklahoma in 2009. Although their bodies were eventually found four years later, we still don’t know why anyone would want them dead or who could be responsible. We’re not even completely sure how they died. Were they murdered in a drug deal gone wrong? Did they stumble upon something they shouldn’t have? Was it murder-suicide? Was it witchcraft?

Dorothy Jane Scott divided her time between her family, her job, and her church. There were no red flags in her life, aside from the increasingly creepy phone calls she’d started receiving at work—and the weird calls continued even after she mysteriously vanished.

On Christmas Eve, 1945, in Fayetteville, WV, the Sodder Family home went up in flames. George and Jennie Sodder escaped along with four of their children, but the other five children were never seen again.

Did they die in the fire, or were they kidnapped? You’d think the answer would be a lot more obvious than it is.
