From Legends to Myths, Fiction to True Crime, Discover the Darker Side of Humanity

Welcome to my world of mysteries, folklore, and spine-tingling tales! I'm a passionate storyteller dedicated to uncovering the dark corners of our world's most enigmatic legends and unexplained phenomena.

As the showrunner of Freaky Folklore and Destination Terror, and the host/owner of Carman's Crypt and Deadly Intent, I wear many hats in bringing these captivating stories to life. From initial research and writing to production and narration, I'm involved in every step of creating content that will leave you questioning what lurks in the shadows.

My fascination with the unknown has also led me to co-author several books exploring the realm of folklore and mystery: Freaky Folklore: Terrifying Tales of the World's Most Elusive Monsters and Enigmatic Cryptids, Appalachian Folklore Unveiled: Mysterious Happenings of Folk Spirits and Mystic Shades from the Ancient Foothills, and Creepy Campfire Stories: Spine-Chilling Tales to Scare and Share.

When I'm not diving deep into research or crafting the next chilling episode, you'll find me at home in Bella Vista, Arkansas, surrounded by my husband, our large family, and our two beloved fur babies. I'm an avid hiker who loves exploring the natural world—often seeking inspiration for my next story among the trails and hidden places where legends are born. My other passions include reading, investigating mysteries, and exploring true crime cases. Travel is another love of mine, with a particular fondness for the East Coast, where so many of America's oldest and most haunting tales originated.

Whether you're here for the podcasts, the books, or just to explore the mysterious side of our world, I'm thrilled to have you join me on this journey into the unknown.
