Local Legends with Lark Farlee

The audio for this podcast is funky, rather than re-recording I went ahead and uploaded it as I didn't want to delay it by another month. I am dubbing this episode "a voice note from your older sister who has drama that has to be shared". Today's episode will be over Indiana's most notorious cults. We'll be taking deep dives into the People's Temple, Faith Assembly, Faithhaven Baptist Church, and Brown County’s very own Faith of the Holy Light.

Today's episode kicks off a new series I'll be doing covering Indiana's dark history. In this episode we will be covering Indiana's history with the KKK. We'll be going through the history of the KKK, how Indiana played a critical role in it's popularity (and was at one time the state with the highest members of the KKK), and how the KKK's ideology of hatred and racism is still reflective in current day politics.

In today's episode we will be covering the local legends surround IU Bloomington. We've got ghosts, murder, stalking, tunnels, disappearing bodies, birdmen, etc. We'll be going through it all and covering the legends surrounding the college.

As a local Brown Countian I've always wondered how the small community of Gnaw Bone (located just a few minutes from downtown Brown County) got its name. In today's episode we will be going through the main theories behind the name and the legends surrounding it.

In today's episode we will be covering the events that lead up to the disappearance of Lauren Spierer, the parties involved, the investigation that took place, and the main theories as to what might have happened to her.
