Terrifying & True | The Melonheads of Ohio — Dr. Crow and Kirtland’s Urban Legend
Podcast: Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for HalloweenPublished On: Mon Mar 03 2025
Description: On dark roads near Kirtland, Ohio, local stories warn of the Melonheads—figures said to have escaped a doctor's cruel experiments. Terrifying & True explores the Dr. Crow legend and its changing versions in Ohio, Michigan, and Connecticut. Alleged laboratories, woodland sightings, and rumors of institutional abuse give each retelling a local setting, but the claims do not establish that the creatures or the doctor existed. Hear how fear of difference and the isolation of a country road helped build a monster story, and why a memorable explanation can outlast the evidence behind it.Bonus episodes & support: https://weeklyspooky.com/joinMore scary stories: https://weeklyspooky.com/Story submissions: WeeklySpooky@gmail.com
