The Scarecast Files #4: The Man Who Ruined Trick-Or-Treating (Ronald Clark O'Bryan)
On Halloween night in 1974, in Deer Park, Texas, seemed like any other Halloween night... Ronald Clark O'Bryan, along with his children and several neighbors, embarked on a trick-or-treating adventure. They encountered a darkened house, its porch lights extinguished, but Ronald insisted they knocked on the door for treats. Impatient, the group left after no one answered, but Ronald stayed behind, claiming to have received some expensive Pixy Stix candies. That evening, he allowed his eight-year-old son, Timothy, to have one, which tragically led to the child's vomiting and convulsions. Rushing Timothy to the hospital proved futile, as the young boy passed away within an hour after consuming the candy. Investigators suspected foul play and discovered that the Pixy Stix candy was laced with enough cyanide to end two adult males. Suspicion fell on Ronald, as the homeowner of the house he claimed to get the candy from had a solid alibi, as he worked at the airport. Further investigation revealed Ronald's financial troubles and the multiple life insurance policies he took out on his children that same year. It became evident that he had plotted to poison the candies, framing an innocent stranger to secure a hefty insurance payout. Ronald was ultimately sentenced to death, receiving a lethal injection on March 31, 1984.

The Scarecast Files #3: The Legend of Stingy Jack (Origin of The Jack O' Lantern)
Halloween, originally derived from the Celtic Samhain celebration, marked the night when the dead returned to Earth. This holiday delighted those who enjoyed embracing the spooky side of life, yet caused unease for families wishing to avoid attracting spirits to their homes. People used scary masks and carved faces into turnips and other root vegetables to ward off these spirits. And now, people carve these scary faces into pumpkins, which we refer to as Jack O' Lanterns. But where did this all originate from?The story of Stingy Jack, a miserable, manipulative blacksmith in 18th-century Ireland, is what started it all. Jack would even trick the Devil, who was highly interested in acquiring Jack's demented soul. At the time of death, Jack was denied entry to both Heaven and Hell, and would be left to roam the Earth with an ember from Hell in a turnip lantern, becoming known as "Jack o' the Lantern."Irish immigrants in the United States introduced the pumpkin for carving jack-o'-lanterns, now a Halloween tradition, to keep spirits like Stingy Jack away.***Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thescarecast/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thescarecast?lang=enGo Subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@scarecastBuy Merch: https://thescarecast.com/store/Contact me through email: mike@thescarecast.com for any story requests or inquiries, concerns, or advertising inquiries.Our Sponsors:* Check out Drizly: https://drizly.com* Check out Factor 75 and use my code scarecast50 for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-scarecast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Scarecast Files #2: The Dark Side of Disneyland
In the magical world of Disneyland, there are stories that often remain hidden behind the enchantment. Join us in this episode of The Scarecast as we peel back the layers of Disneyland history and explore three intriguing and chilling stories.First, we take you to the heart of Disneyland, to a small apartment above the Firehouse on Main Street. This was Walt Disney's personal retreat, and even after his passing, his beloved lamp in the apartment's window has remained lit. But what's the eerie legend behind this glowing lamp? Then, we shift our focus to Grad Nite, a tradition for high school graduates that has a darker side. In 1966, a young man named Thomas Guy Cleveland embarked on an ill-fated adventure that ended in tragedy on the monorail tracks. His story reveals a side of Disneyland rarely talked about—a side where accidents can turn magical nights into nightmares.But that's not all; just a year later in 1967, another tragedy occurred on the People Mover ride, where a teenager lost his life attempting a dangerous stunt. The eerie question arises: What are the odds of two eerily similar fatalities occurring on the same ride?Join us for a journey into the unknown, as we uncover the legends, mysteries, and haunting experiences of Disneyland.

S8E4: Scary Stories With My Cousin Prachelle
For this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing my cousin, Prachelle, who I grew up very close to, only about two weeks apart from each other. And having posted all of these stories about Santa Clarita, such as Sand Canyon Road or Six Flags, my cousin Prachelle told me she had a really weird experience one time driving down a long, desolate road in San Francisquito Canyon towards Palmdale. Prachelle was about 17 years old when she and her friends decided to make the trip.It was a two-lane road, a long empty road in the middle of the night. Nice houses filling the void on the sides of the road. It was just any ordinary night for Prachelle and her friends, to go on a late-night drive, and it was quite a long drive before Prachelle would notice headlights ahead. Mind you, it was midnight when this whole thing occurred, and not many cars just driving through the darkened roads leading to Palmdale at this time. How could the only car spotted by Prachelle disappear out of nowhere? A two-lane road, surely she would have passed the car. Prachelle states the car didnt pull into a driveway, she would have surely noticed the car pull off into a side road. Is it possible this car did not exist?After this story, I had to ask my cousin if she had more stories...We will cover San Francisquito Canyon, Six Flags, Stockton, and Baker!***Follow @thescarecast on TikTok and InstagramGo Subscribe to my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@scarecastContact me through email: mike@thescarecast.com for any story requests or inquiries, concerns, or advertising inquiries.Our Sponsors:* Check out Drizly: https://drizly.com* Check out Factor 75 and use my code scarecast50 for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-scarecast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

S8E2 - Mentryville (Feat. Evan Decker)
Mentryville is a ghost town in Santa Clarita, California, known for its historical significance and alleged paranormal activity. The town was established in 1876 as the state's first commercially viable oil well and remained prosperous until the 1920s when production began to slow down. By the early 1930s, its residents had started leaving the area. The town is rumored to be "haunted" by the spirits of its past residents, with the most prominent being Charles Alexander Mentry, the man who created the town in the first place. Mentry's spirit is said to be seen wandering the ruins of his estate, known as the "Mentryville House," and the vicinity. Strange noises, cold areas, and even the sightings of a ghostly apparition clothed in period attire have all been recorded by visitors. In the vicinity of the former schoolhouse, visitors have described seeing a ghostly presence of a young girl wearing a white dress. Some visitors have also reported feeling watched or followed while touring the site. I had the pleasure of interviewing Evan Decker, who spoke out about his experiences while working on repairing, preserving, and restoring many of the aged buildings on the Mentryville site. Evan is the President of Mentryville California Inc and also runs the SCH History Moments instagram page.Follow Evan Decker: https://www.instagram.com/evan_m_deck/Follow Mentryville Calfornia Inc: https://www.instagram.com/mentryvillecaliforniainc/Follow SCV History Moments: https://www.instagram.com/scvhistorymoments/Special thanks to @whatsupscv for reposting my initial Mentryville reel on Instagram that got the attention of Evan.
