Roads Less Taken II
From Butchers
to Drifters
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.
RLT episodes cover details we couldn’t squeeze into our previous Story - interesting tidbits that would have taken us too far from the main narrative.
We also take an eerie road trip to our next destination, covering a few ominous details, places, haunts, and legends along the way.

​
7-Minute Less Taken II:
Bender's
Inn
They came seeking shelter on the Osage Trail—only to become whispers in Bender’s Inn.
In this tense, seven-minute edition of Less Taken, we travel back to explore the dusty frontier of the old Osage Trail, where weary travelers begin vanishing without a trace.
Every clue—discarded belongings, blood-soaked footprints, and frantic last-ditch messages—leads to one place: Bender’s Inn.
Kansas City, MO/KS
The Kansas City
Butcher
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.
7-Minute Less Taken
Vol. I
Dead Air
in Des Moines
What if a vanished girl’s voice slipped through your radio, years after she disappeared, and no one could explain how it got there? Tune in to the broadcast that Des Moines was never meant to hear.
In our first 7-Minute Less Taken, "Dead Air in Des Moines," we explore a spooky tale about AM stations, including whether the reported eerie sounds comes from ghosts or something else.
The Roads Less Taken I:
From Demons to
Butchers
In our first-ever Roads Less Taken episode, we explore a few details we couldn't fit into Mary X, and we'll also travel from Iowa over to Kansas for our next story, exploring local horrors, haunts, and legends along the way. ​
Earling, IA
Mary X:
The Exorcism of
Anna Ecklund
​For the first story of Season Four, we travel between Wisconsin and Iowa to explore the documented real-life exorcisms (yep, plural!) of Anna Ecklund, which come after years of torment and abuse from her father and his mistress. ​
