Ten true scary stories. Real cases from across California, spanning more than seventy years of unsolved and disturbing events. These are not urban legends or campfire stories. Every name, every date, and every detail in this episode comes from the public record. Some of these scary stories have answers. Most do not. Some of the people involved were never found. Some of the questions raised were never answered. Some of the cases in this episode are still being actively investigated today. And several contain details that, once you know them, tend to stay with you.
Across ten cases and more than seventy years of real events, this episode covers disappearances that were never explained, investigations that went cold, and moments where the truth was right there and still slipped away.
