Curious Cousins OK Podcast ·

2025/01/24

“Things that go ‘Bump’ in the night, Really shouldn’t give one a fright”. This famous quote from author Spike Milligan clearly was not familiar with the house in Eldorado, OK nicknamed the “Leave or Die House”. Jess’s kooky and spooky tale takes us to the far southwest tip of Oklahoma. The account of the Solis Family's experience in their Eldorado Home begins with a disturbing message found on the side of the house: "Leave or die." Initially dismissed as a prank, the family soon

Happy New Year!! Let's start this new year out with some new spooks!What pops into your mind when you hear the city name of McAlester? Well, if you’re an Oklahomie, you instantly probably think of prison. Yes, McAlester is famously known to be the home of the Oklahoma State Penn.

Ep 105 1942 Pryor Tornado

Curious Cousins OK Podcast ·

2024/11/22

With the wild weather this month, Tiff decided to take a look at another story day way back when…The weather in Oklahoma, particularly tornadoes, has long been a significant concern since the Land Run of 1889. Tornadoes are most prevalent in "tornado alley," which stretches from Texas through Oklahoma and into the Midwest. The unique geography of Oklahoma increases the likelihood of tornadoes, especially during the typical tornado season. Early settlers faced severe risks as tornadoes often struck
