Ep 58: Dog Boy
On episode 58 of Legend Samm and Amy discuss two different urban legends referred to as Dog Boy. The first is based off of a true crime case located in the small town of Quitman, Arkansas. Jarrell (A.K.A. Gerald) Bettis was a monstrous animal abuser whose horrible habit of collecting cats and dogs got him the moniker “Dog Boy.” He moved on from torturing and murdering animals to abusing his parents, locking them up in the attic for long periods of time. Eventually he died in jail from a drug over dose but his spirit it said to linger in the quaint house located on 65 Mulberry Lane.

Listen in as we discuss Margie Lytles’ harrowing close encounter with the half man half dog creature who may or may have not been summoned by witches.
