Tonight on 50 States of Strange, we head deep into the mist-covered hollows of Arkansas, where the Ozark shadows stretch long and the stories grow even darker. From haunted mountain towns and spectral hitchhikers to unexplained lights drifting above the forests, Arkansas carries a legacy of paranormal encounters that refuses to fade. We’ll uncover the legends that linger in the backroads, the mysteries buried beneath quiet rural towns, and the eerie encounters that have left locals questioning what truly walks these hills after dark. Plus - we have a special gues in the house tonight!

Tonight we pull back the velvet curtain on the world behind Eyes Wide Shut- a labyrinth of secret societies, elite gatherings, and the unsettling symbols that have fueled decades of conspiracy theories.

Tonight, we’re heading into the desert shadows of New Mexico, where ancient stories, modern mysteries, and strange sightings collide beneath an endless sky. We’ll explore UFO lore that didn’t start, or end, at Roswell, examine eerie petroglyphs that some believe depict visitors from somewhere else, and look at encounters tied to remote mesas, abandoned homesteads, and high desert military corridors. From whispered tales of shape-shifters to reports of silent craft over the plains, New Mexico holds some of the most compelling and unnerving phenomena in the American Southwest and tonight, we’re going there.

In this chilling episode of '50 States of Strange,' we travel to the rugged mountains of Colorado to uncover the legends that still echo through its canyons and mines. From the eerie specter of Phantom Canyon Road and the ghostly convict said to haunt its curves, to the mysterious Tommyknockers who once warned—or tormented—miners deep beneath Cripple Creek, Colorado’s past is steeped in gold rush ambition and supernatural lore. These stories blur the line between history and haunting, revealing how the state’s most beautiful landscapes can also harbor its darkest mysteries.
