"We have no choice! You have to try and take the train across the bridge!" Switch Foreman Deaton demanded, as he watched the wheels of the Missouri Pacific No. 14 quickly disappear underneath the rapidly rising floodwaters."I can''t even see the bridge! It might not even be there anymore!" Engineer Harris argued, as he shone his flashlight back into the darkness of the raging storm. "We have to go back to the Depot!"At 6pm on June 3, 1921, the residents of Pueblo, Colorado were informed that a wall of water was rushing down the Arkansas River and in a matter of hours they found their city submerged under 21 feet of water. As all hope appeared lost, thousands of people began grabbing anything that would float and conducted one of the bravest rescue missions in human history.

In January 1986 the Wheat Ridge Police Department uncovered one of the most vicious crime sprees in Colorado’s history. Dating back to 1920, in the small town of Stratton, Colorado, the officers discovered decades of brutal killings and slaughter involving transient farm workers that had been hired to work the fields of the now infamous McCormick farm. With over 70 bodies buried on the 2,800 acre farm and dozens of others scattered around the country, the body count was extreme. But with murder, comes the ghostly remains of the dead. Faced with angry spirits and buckets full of body parts brought up by their plow, the farm’s new owners contacted S.P.O.O.K.S Paranormal team for help. Join author Tracy Beach as she digs through mountains of police casefiles, missing person reports, interview’s, court transcripts, autopsy reports and two scrap books full of decomposed bodies being removed from the earth, in her quest to piece together the demented mind of Michael McCormick and figure out what made him tick...and who is really haunting the farm.“Whenever I teach a class on how to administer a Polygraph test, I’m always asked if I’ve ever done one on a Psychopath. I tell them I have only done it once and it was on Michael McCormick… and he passed. Why? Because a Psychopath doesn’t feel shame or guilt and you need those to fail the test.” —The Wheat Ridge Police Department“I’ll give Michael credit for one thing, he knew how to play people and he did it better than anyone I’ve ever met.” —Investigator Michael Gallagher

Forget everything you thought you knew about Mrs. Elizabeth Bonduel Tabor.For over 80 years, historians and authors alike have filled dozens of books describing her as crazy or mad. They claim that Mrs. Tabor spent 36 years living the life of a hermit, inside an old tool shed, located at a Silver Mine she didn’t even own…but nothing could be farther from the truth. Marrying first for money, then engaging in two scandalous affairs, Elizabeth Tabor set social protocol aside to become the Silver queen of Colorado, before her world came crashing down.Following the death of her second husband and with two children to feed, she held her head high and fought the corrupt men who stole her deceased husband’s fortune and rebuilt a new life for her daughters. Building her own alliances and becoming a successful business woman and mine owner, she watched in despair as her oldest daughter married a close family member, while her youngest daughter slid into alcoholism and prostitution. Desperate for a distraction, Elizabeth Tabor spent the warm Colorado months dressing in men’s overalls and digging silver ore from her mines by hand, until just before her death at the age of 80.From running inside a burning apartment building to save a cat, dressing nude roman statues in lingerie to piss off the neighbors, fighting alongside the Unsinkable Molly Brown for women’s rights and chasing away trespassers with a loaded shot gun, Elizabeth Tabor held onto her pride and her Catholic faith with  firm fist, until her dying breath.
