For the 7th 7-Minute Less Taken episode of the 7th month of the year, we're going deep into some obscure folklore as we travel through Vermillion, South Dakota. In 1897, a man dug a well behind a quiet South Dakota home—and pulled up more than water. What he found would unravel a decades-old secret, buried in bones and silence. Some murders leave a body. This one left a legend.---Let us know what you think!Please rate, review, subscribe & tell a friend. Every little bit helps!

This isn’t just a haunted hotel story—it’s a haunting legacy that watches and waits.This is the story of Old Seth.---Let us know what you think!Please rate, review, subscribe & tell a friend.

A woman checks into a historic hotel—room 812. Top floor. Alone. By sunrise, she’s gone—and the legend of the “Bride” begins. In this haunting episode of Less Taken, we uncover the eerie true story that inspired one of South Dakota’s most infamous ghost legends. Maybe.Was it suicide? Something darker? Or does the room itself remember what no one else dares to say? Featuring the real-life lore of the haunted Hotel Alex Johnson in Rapid City, The Bride of Room 812 explores what happens when a place refuses to forget—and a name vanishes from the record. If you love haunted hotels, unsolved deaths, and the thin line between ghost stories and buried truths, this is one ride you won’t forget.---Let us know what you think!Please rate, review, subscribe & tell a friend.

June 24, 1994. Tina Marcotte never makes it home from work. Her tire goes flat. She calls a friend for help—but by morning, she's vanished. The last man known to see her is found dead days later beneath a forklift in what police call a freak accident. But locals in Rapid City still whisper: Was it guilt… or something else that caught up with him first? A case where the road ends twice. ---Let us know what you think!Please rate, review, subscribe & tell a friend.

There’s something walking the roads of Pine Ridge… and people say it’s still out there. In this 7-Minute Less Taken, we explore the terrifying legend of Walking Sam—a shadowy figure tied to real-life tragedy on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Described as impossibly tall, with glowing eyes and a voice that whispers to vulnerable teens, Walking Sam’s story blurs the line between folklore and horror… with devastating real-world echoes.What began as an urban legend among Lakota youth has since drawn national attention from media outlets, mental health advocates, and paranormal researchers. But where did this figure really come from? And why does he still haunt late-night conversations across the Great Plains? This episode references suicide.

What do you leave behind when you hang a man like Stephen Dee Richards? Just a confession and a grave… or something more? In this third Roads Less Taken journey, we travel north from the gallows of Minden, Nebraska, through haunted cabins, forgotten asylums, and cursed fields, ending at the edge of Pine Ridge, South Dakota.

In the vast Nebraska plains, a polished drifter named Stephen D. Richards hid a killer’s heart beneath his handsome exterior.Between 1876 and 1878, Richards—later dubbed “The Nebraska Fiend”—confesses to murdering at least nine lone travelers across Nebraska and Iowa before fleeing from authorities. In this episode, we trace his first fatal duel by the Platte River, the brutal slaying of the Harlson family, and the manhunt that ensues. This episode may run a little later due to issues in our studio, Room 1, but it should still drop early in June! We're crossing our fingers and hoping it releases next Tuesday, but we appreciate your patience in the event it falls a little bit behind. Let us know what you think!

Explore real-world horrors and ghostly legends as we embark on this chilling journey from the streets of Kansas City to the haunted highways of Nebraska. Much like our Pit Stops from Season Two, these Roads Less Taken episodes cover details we couldn’t quite squeeze into our previous Story. These are often interesting tidbits that would have taken us too far off course from the main narrative.What’s different is once we wrap up a few things (which in this case will be from “The Kansas City Butcher”), we’ll buckle in and take an eerie road trip to our next destination, covering a few ominous details, places, haunts, and legends along the way.

There were no screams. Just photographs.For years, Rob Berdella tortured and killed in near silence—his victims disappearing without a sound, their agony captured in Polaroids and handwritten logs. Neighbors heard nothing. The house stayed quiet. But behind closed doors, a methodical horror unfolded, room by room, tape by tape. Berdella kept records like trophies: Polaroids, notes, fragments of lives erased. This isn’t just the story of a killer. It’s a catalog of cruelty... and the moment one survivor finally shattered the silence. And it also begs the question, what would you do if were suffering but no one was around to hear it? Let us know what you think! Please rate, review, subscribe & tell a friend.
