On August 8th, 1973, 17 year-old Elmer Wayne Henley called the police to report the murder of 33 year-old Dean Corll. The killer was Elmer himself but what at first seemed to be an open and shut case of self-defense, quickly became an investigation into one of the worst group of serial killers in U.S history.
The leader of the group soon became known as the Candyman Killer and by the time the investigation was done, not everyone was as innocent as they appeared to be.
Listen to the true story of The Real Candyman Killer of Houston, Texas on today's episode of Myths, Mysteries, & Monsters!

There is a bridge a few short miles away from Weatherford, Oklahoma where many have reported seeing the spirit of a woman looking for her baby before disappearing. Others have reported seeing a blue light hovering around the bridge before hearing the pained screams of a woman.
Though the accounts of ghostly figures are up for debate, the origin for the spirit and the area known as Dead Woman's Crossing stems from a true unsolved murder from over a hundred years ago that still haunts the area today.
