Focus:LBK Bonus: Mexican Scobee

A true tale of terror, and some thoughts on Ancestral Reverence

This post contains an old-Tyme radio style production of “Mexican Scobee”, the true tale about a wild beast that ravaged the small town of Bryan, Texas.

My paternal Grandma, Dorothy Parker, was a huge influence on my life. Although she passed from this life in 1999, her spirit nourishes me even today.

Her presence is subtle. I feel her with me every time I cook. She whispers wise words and cryptic warnings from the past that echo in time with the ups and downs of my life. My children know her well, despite having never met her.

Some of my most cherished memories are of sitting on the porch of her old white house down in Bryan, Texas. On cool nights, she would tell us spooky stories that she swore were true.

I’ve produced this "old tyme" radio type show based on one of her scary stories.

I believe you are never truly gone unless you are also forgotten, so it is my pleasure to pass this on to you, and give Grandma a voice once again.

So turn down the lights, and listen to a true tale of terror and suspense: The Mexican Scobee.
