89: The Phantom Barber of Pascagoula

This week, we’re covering the bizarre true crime case of the Phantom Barber of Pascagoula, an unidentified intruder who broke into homes in 1942 and cut chunks of hair from sleeping victims, mostly young girls, without ever physically harming them. As fear spread through the small Mississippi town, families locked down their homes and police scrambled for answers.A local man was arrested and convicted on circumstantial evidence, but many still question whether the real culprit was ever caught. Strange, unsettling, and completely real... this one’s a Southern mystery that feels almost too weird to believe.
