  • Episode 69: Underwater Ghost Towns of Greers Ferry Lake
    Jan 6 2025

    In this episode of Unexplained Arkansas, your host Lisa will discuss the history and rumors of Underwater Ghost Towns of Greers Ferry Lake.


    In 1938, Congress established the Flood Control Act which enlisted the U.S. Corp of Engineers to go in and create dams in areas where there were flooding problems around rivers which included the Little Red River in Arkansas. This set the path for 6 communities/towns to be either displaced or covered in water.


    Learn about the rumors and the true stories about the beautiful but eerie Greers Ferry Lake!!!

  • Episode 68: The Christmas Killer (Ronald Gene Simmons) Part 2
    Jan 4 2025

    In this episode of Unexplained Arkansas, your host Lisa and guest host again to finish this case out, Matt L. one of my long time friends, church family, and FSB family members, discuss the awful life, killings, and death of Ronald Gene Killer.


    This is a long one again--I could have made shorter 3 parts but I didn't so you get 2 long parts.


    In 1987, Gene went on a killing spree the week before and after Christmas in the Russellville area. He would kill 16 people --14 of which were his own family. Eight of them were children--either his own child or his grandchild. He tried to kill others and did wound more. Evil, pure evil!!


    As awful as the events were his life was full of evil as well.


    Part 2 is covering the time from of 1981-1990--it will include the awful and brutal murders of 16 people --14 of which were Gene's own family and there are several children--so listener discretion. It's awful and evil to the core.


    Listener discretion advised--this episode will have mention of assaults-physical and sexual. There is murder involving young children as well.

You can feel the friendship between the two and that they are trying their best to make a great podcast.

looking at the other reviews they say too much banter. I kinda like that myself. It's a new pod and I'm sure they will just get better and better and listen to some of yalls critiques. I think they are growing just fine and it will just get better as they go. Here's to you ladies. Look forward to yall every week.

The content is fantastic

I'd give 5 stars if the banter was significantly reduced. One episode had nearly 20 minutes of side conversation before getting to the story. The Enola and aunt caroline episodes were top notch, though.

Too much banter

Good stories but calm down and get to it. Your stories could be greatly tightened up.
