Uncover the chilling mystery that lurks beneath Dodge City's storied past. While gunfighters and cattle drives typically dominate Wild West lore, a different kind of legend has quietly persisted for generations – the haunting of the Mueller Schmidt house.

The Stone House stands as an architectural anomaly on the Kansas plains. Built in 1881 with imposing two-foot-thick limestone walls, it was designed to last forever in a town where everything else seemed temporary. But according to countless witnesses over the decades, something else has remained permanent within those walls. Disembodied footsteps echo on the grand staircase. Lights flicker on and off in rooms known to be empty. Most haunting of all, a woman's silhouette appears regularly at an upper window, eternally waiting for someone who never returned.

What tragedy befell this imposing structure? Was it a heartbroken bride who perished during a merciless Kansas winter? Or does the haunting stem from darker origins – perhaps connected to the violence that earned Dodge City its reputation as "the wickedest little city in America"? Could there be secrets literally buried beneath the foundation?

This October, join hosts Michael King and Brad Smalley as they meticulously investigate this enduring mystery, combining rigorous historical research with firsthand accounts to separate chilling folklore from historical fact. They'll unlock the heavy oak door and cross the threshold that generations of Dodge City residents have approached with trepidation. Whether you're a history buff, paranormal enthusiast, or simply love a good mystery, "The Secret of the Stone House" promises to be our most captivating exploration yet of the supernatural side of the Wild West.
