   Introducing: Paper Ghosts

   Hi, Facing Evil listeners! We're excited to share with you a sneak peek at iHeartPodcasts' latest release, Paper Ghosts! Paper Ghosts: In the heart of Texas, teens are dying. Suspicious suicides, strange accidents, and brutal murders litter 1980's Parker County. Weatherford, the same town where the series “Yellowstone” was filmed, is the hardest-hit. Locals have many theories: the KKK runs rampant... a corrupt sheriff’s department... or could the Weatherford Police Department be covering up all of these crimes to protect a sadistic killer? Desperate to keep its deepest, darkest secrets from being exposed, could one sick individual be at the root of it all? Or are the killers working in tandem? M. William Phelps digs in and, after being warned to stay away (or else), he begins to piece together answers in many of these decades-old cold cases. Listen to Paper Ghosts on the iHeartRadio App or wherever you get your podcasts! See omnystudio.com/listener (https://omnystudio.com/listener) for privacy information.

Introducing: Paper Ghosts

Published 12 Nov 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] This murder case is a big deal for such a little town and it needs to be recognized and finished. During the 1980s, the bodies of teenagers piled up amid rumors of widespread corruption running all the way to the top. Forty years later, angry townsfolk tired of being ignored by law enforcement start talking. She gets out of the car, she's turned around and looks at me and she goes, Mama, I love you, goodbye. That was the last word I heard from her and that was the last time I saw her. Along the central Texas plains where ranches, rodeos and cutting forces are the usual topics of conversation, teens are dying, suicides that don't make sense. […]
