Terrifying & True | Texarkana Moonlight Murders: The Phantom Killer

from Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Halloween · host Henrique Couto | Scary Stories & Horror Expert

The 1946 Texarkana Moonlight Murders left five people dead and a border town afraid of the dark. Terrifying & True follows attacks on lovers’ lanes and at a farmhouse, the survivors’ accounts and the investigation of the figure called the Phantom Killer. The case helped inspire The Town That Dreaded Sundown, but the real people behind the screen legend deserve a closer look. Fear, conflicting clues and an elusive attacker turned ordinary nighttime routines into a source of dread. What could investigators establish—and what remained beyond their reach? We're telling that story tonight. Bonus episodes & support: https://weeklyspooky.com/join More scary stories: https://weeklyspooky.com/ Story submissions: [email protected]
