Dakota Mysteries & Oddities™ VHS

$24.95

Best selling North Dakota author William "Jack" Jackson and Prairie Public Television have teamed up to create Dakota Mysteries & Oddities™—an entertaining, unusual, (and perhaps even scary) documentary. Based on Jackson's best selling book, "Dakota Mysteries & Oddities™" and its several sequels, this documentary explores those strange stories from North and South Dakota and Western Minnesota's past. These are the tales of ghosts, UFOs, bizarre murder cases and unexplained phenomena you heard growing up. Host Jack Jackson’s unique storytelling and knowledge of the region—combined with the production resources of Prairie Public Television—bring these stories to fascinating visual life, creating a program you'll want to have in your video collection.

You'll see the heroic story of Hazel Miner of Center, ND, who froze to death in a 1920 blizzard but selflessly saved her two younger siblings; relive the tragedy and mystery of North Dakota's largest mass murder in Turtle Lake in 1920; tour the Harvey, ND, public library that is said to be haunted by a former Harvey resident who was viciously murdered 70 years ago; and delve into the controversy over Sitting Bull's grave—or graves—in Fort Yates, ND, and Mobridge, SD.

Dakota Mysteries & Oddities™ has something for everyone who grew up in the Dakotas or Western Minnesota. It's a historical and speculative record of a great part of this region's past. This 60-minute documentary includes an extra 15 minutes of bonus footage not seen in the television broadcast.

Total Running Time: 75 minutes
