I had to watch this video twice. There is nothing wrong with you two laughing, ignore those clowns 🤡 who say otherwise. I love how you found mamie's grave, I believe she is there as well, or pretty close. This is another tragic story. 😥 when she said she was having affairs with some prominent citizens, she pretty much signed her own death warrant. Interesting about her husband dying in a asylum later. Heather, you did an outstanding job researching this story, thank you. Perhaps one day, someone out of the goodness of his/her heart ❤️ will put a simple marker on Mamie's grave. Thank you very much again, Leo and Heather, for another great story, and video. Have a great day.
I just wonder off hand is there any record of who paid for the funeral procedures? Keeping in mine that's her husband was a cop that probably did not make that much money on a salary, and it is very odd that one of the principle players in this little scenario committed suicide,, just makes you wonder, reminds me of the case that Leo covered of the cheerleader that was presumably murdered by the person that was the head of the School board and highly politically connected and all of the evidence except for the poor girl's dress was destroyed when he was found presumably not guilty, makes you wonder........
Please laugh any time. Don't listen to what some of these people say .. laughter is a Blessing! I am a smiling laughing person myself and it's what I've been known for since I was a kid. If someone told me not to laugh, well... I would have to laugh at that!!
@@thehillbillyfiles I LOVE to hear your laughing & injoying & having fun while making your videos !😁😃😄 Laughter is good for a person & for those who are around them. There are a ton of You Tube vids out there & if someone doesn't like hearing laughter & a person having fun well I say they're free to move on. They're also free to make their own 'videos'. That is my view on that, I'm sure I'm not alone thinking that way. If they don't like laughter they can watch some of my true ghost vids. I have tons of spooky ghost pics from Gettysburg to add, one day. 🤘👻💖
WOW! I just absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful piece of history. When I lived in Charleston, I heard about Mamie Thurman's murder and all of the theories about how she died, why, and the murderer. I immensely enjoyed the history. of Mamie Thurman's murder. Keep up the great work.
I'm so happy to be a member of your channel! I have learned so much on history from it! You guys are amazing! Plus you guys are just a amazing couple! Thank you!
You're laughter is addictive 😂 ! One of the greatest things about ya'll ! Leo , when you giggle . It makes me giggle and I want to personally thank you for that . Thank you for taking us along on all your adventures . God bless yous 🙏 ❤️ .
Yes it IS great mystery! My husband's daddy (ALSO from Logan) even gave me a little BOOK written on her! THANK YOU for this wonderful story & walk down memory lane!
I watch Mysterious WV. Love Sean and his wife. But mainly i think WV is such a beautiful state. I enjoy the scenery. This story is facinating and the icing is the visuals. 😉🌹
My late mom's best friend was called Alberta Bell, from Logan WV. Listening to her stories as a kid of 10 or so and being a writer myself, I've often thought about writing a fictional book based on all those wonderful stories she told. Have any if you watched the channel MYSTERIOUS WV? Sean McCracken did a video on this case, and this video here just adds that personal touch. Thank you!!
Not fictional. The older generations stories are historical, not fictional. In college, I was taught in Western Civ class that a true story is when 2 people give an identical account of the same even, that is considered to be an historical fact, the truth… These stories are taught in college history books as historical facts. So, no difference if you ask me.
You 2 have given me an adventure. So beautiful of a place.. never heard of this story. Loved hearing it. Tragic story about this poor person. Thank you so much for this story, and showing such a neat place.
Good job!!! So happy you found her. You should take some silk flowers and leave them on her grave area. I really enjoyed this one as well. You guys are rock stars!!! Stay safe!
You guys are amazing!!!! I figured out the Steele right before he came around the the monument. I have a Great Great Grandfather named Little Andy Wright was killed in a shootout along with his Uncle and cousins in Letcher County Ky. Mothers name Susan Wright, she Never gave little Andy’s fathers name….no one knows for sure til this day. But Steele was the name floated around for years. Oddly enough, his widow Mary married a young Preacher Wilburn Reedy and is said to have lived and died there in Logan County. I’ve always wanted to visit, and through you Ive been able to “walk around” I’m loving this channel soooo much! Thank you!!
I love ya'all. I appreciate so much all your efforts to put out videos for us. As I said before my health is not good enough to go to these places I have always wanted to go and I go through you all. And being from WV, I feel like you are my "home boys". I love your narration because your voice is home to me. My people. My West Virginia. Ok, Ok, enough for the sappiness, I do appreciate you so much
Hummm, interesting! I’d say you found her grave. You two are awesome. I wasn’t expecting you to have this video out tonight, Heather you did a great job getting this edited.
The cemetery records(map) should identify exactly where the two plots owned by the attorney are? She could've been buried under a different name since she didn't own either. Just my thoughts and I'm sure you already took that into consideration. You two do a lot of hard work but unraveling the mystery surely makes it all worth it. Awesome channel and very interesting content. Your subscribers will grow fast as people stumble across just one of your videos. Definitely my favorite of the several I am subscribed to.
Your laughter tickles me…keep on keeping on! Sad to see the state of the cemetery. I grew up in the tri-state area (PA, OH, WV), so nice to find your channel on history around there.
I’m in Tn. But I have two sons that live in Ky. My oldest boy has bought a lot of guns in his life time. He got one that has a H on the stock. The man he got it from said he could not prove it but the word from all the before buyers was it was a Hatfield gun. I don’t know but it’s old enough to be one. I wish we could some way prove it was. I love these stories you tell and your voice is perfect for it. Thank you so much.
Oh Yes, Raleigh County fan here! Just love what you two are doing with your channel! THEN this.. ya'll just busted The Mamie Thurman Case wide open! Wonderful hillbilly common sense at work. Can't wait to see what you will do next. Great Job!
Y'all are such a cute couple. All I can add is, that Mamie was a pretty little thing. She may have been naughty, but she didn't deserve being brutally murdered. Edit: dang.....!!! hubby could have at least put a few large rocks for markers. Sad thank you for the videos.
I recently found your channel and I love it. I have only been to Moundsville WV for a ghost hunt and I loved the area. Much appreciation and respect from Haverhill MA
Excellent crime drama video. Bringing past to present with connecting all known dots to reveal a very familiar pattern with our species . Observation : large buildings require alot of capital to build . Architecture often reveals a lot more about a place and it's history . Thanks
I love your laugh! It keeps me coming back. I was born in Wheeling but I'm in South Carolina now. I watch your videos almost daily in the winter. I'll soon resume my duties with the Daughter's of the American Revolution until fall.
Im so happy this channel just showed up on my RU-vid stuff..ive watched probably 10 videos now, and im sharing the videos who enjoy history and are from the appalachians area..this is my favourite channel on RU-vid..i got a lot of catching up to do, but ill take my time and totally enjoy the ride with leo going forward
thank you for a great video and lots of research you are better than the other cemetery RU-vidrs thanks again I don't normally shear videos but in this case, I did hope it helps. Keep up the great work you two do
Great Story Heather and Leo! Thank you so much for going out in cold weather. And about the people that had to comment about the laughter you both share! It shows how much you both enjoy being with each other. Keep Smiling and Laughing guys!!!!❤
Wow!loved the "Steele monument" mystery!don't u just get chills to figure out the clues u do to these places!u guys have fun tgthr & laugh - as we all should do & its the best!ty & god bless u both!love your videos 😇
Love this story & the way you told it. I bet it was a beautiful cemetery. Its such a shame it isn't taken care of. Mammy along with everyone else needs a grave marker to show that they once lived. Life is so precious & so short. By the way Leo I love your laugh, it shows you like what you and Heather do. God bless you both. 🙏💖🙏🇺🇲💯
I’ll agree everyone needs a marker so people can show their respect. We had a friend that was killed didn’t have any family because he was raised in an orphanage home. He had always said he wanted to be cremated & his ashes thrown off the back of his motorcycle in the Smokey Mountains. That’s what we did, But later put up a tombstone. We didn’t want him to be forgotten.
This is all Very interesting to me I have worked at the Monument shop in my home town for almost 30 years and have set many stones and done releveli g of old stones and still cut final dates for stones already installed in the cemeteries so watching your videos is very interesting to me especially the old murder victims or battles like the Hatfield and McCoy's ( I am David Watson from Salem Missouri ) keep up the good work not many people care enough to go check out these stories that are History that have been lost to time
Thank you for taking me along on your adventures. I have truly enjoyed the places we go to . I can't wrap my head around the comment about laughing. All I can say about that is " who made the rule about what you do or say " tell them when they start paying your bills then they will have some input .
Thank you so much 😊 people don't understand, you laugh for various reasons, I don't think we do it when it's inappropriate. Sometimes your nervous or just excited. Or simply enjoying the moment
There is a road on the East side of the state capitol building in Salt Lake City, Utah. Locals call it Gravity Hill. As a teenager in the '70's, my friends and I would often go there and roll uphill. I grew up in SLC, but I live in North Idaho now. My son took me to SLC in 2018 to see a Bob Seger concert. I told my son about Gravity Hill and he didn't believe me. (brat...) So, I took him there. He was driving and he experienced rolling uphill for himself. It was great entertainment for me. lol Fun video!!
Just discovered y’all’s channel a couple days ago. Really enjoying the videos here. I’ve heard of this case before on Mysterious WV., but y’all put in a few details that I either forgot or Sean didn’t include. As an aside, Mamie is pronounced May-me.
Thank you! I call her mamie because everyone I know calls her that, I don't know one person who calls her mayme in my part of WV. So it feels odd to me
No worries. I’m in Tennessee and have known a couple women who pronounce it as May-me. Probably just the difference in areas and the unique dialect you will hear depending on the part of the country you live in.
I came across one of your shows and liked it so much I am looking forward to the next one. I think the husband did it, crime of passion with the over kill. It was a small town, so he knew. But in those days, she would have been a wanton woman and ask for it. The husband would have been viewed as the victim being a respectable lawman out patrolling crime while his very loose and disrespecting wife was patrolling men.
New subscriber here!🙋♀️ Love your videos! Just came across your channel. I’m from Crawley Creek, and am in Logan a lot! I’ve been to 22 Mine Rd a lot also. I’ve done the car trick multiple times, and it works every time. You have to be in just the right spot. Some people say it’s just an illusion, but many say it’s the ghost of Mamie. I actually fell off a cliff up there back in 2012 and about killed my damned self. I’ve always said that Mamie pushed me.😬 Lol. Thank you for these cool videos y’all do, and for sharing the forgotten history of this awesome state! Kudos!😊 Edit: Also, yes they did do a play based on this story in the Chief Logan State Park Amphitheater a couple/few years ago. You can find articles about it in old Logan Banner papers.
Y’all have great voices for this! So glad I found your channel! I think there is not one thing wrong with laughing, I like it! 😁 What do you suppose to do, cry? 😁
This is so cool, I've been by there many times but never went to the cemetery. I love what you guys do! And that's only about a 15 minutes drive for me, so I may take that picture. Ha! (keep the laughter going)
As a fellow west Virginian I love the laughter. I'm a new subscriber been thinking of starting a channel myself but anyways so far the couple videos I've seen so far are great keep up the good work.
I recently subscribed to your channel, primarily because of both your bright and charming personalities, so please don’t listen and ignore to those whom want you to change. Best wishes and kindest regards, from New Zealand. ( PS I love your laugh)
I’m from Logan county. I use to party on 22 mountain road, to try and see her ghost. There is a cemetery in McConnel WV, which is where I lived till I was 18. My grandmother has a picture of herself sitting on a cross in the McConnell cemetery, people swear that marked her grave. I’ve been to the cemetery several times to try and find it, but it’s so overgrown. Ahhhh my hometown of Logan, damn I miss it
I have my Mamaw’s notebook when she wrote that Mamie had been killed. Heather, her first name is pronounced like Mayme. My Mamaw’s name was Matilda Jane and she was known from infancy as Mamie or Mayme. I love y’all!
Welcome to Logan, WV! It was such a great place to grow up and go to school. Graduated in 1974 from Logan High School. Every store was occupied back in the day! It definitely was booming!
Hey Leo and Heather I've been catching up on all your videos I think you're doing a great job I grew up with a guy who's family is from Pikeville sorry I can't join the channel I don't have a credit card I'm going to plan a trip to the area to area for a adventure
Good research. You have me convinced that she's buried there such a shame a beautiful young woman murdered like that. But as I always told my kids & now my little grandsons bad choices have bad ends. She definitely was playing with fire. She's lucky she didn't end up pregnant. Poor Clarence. How convenient to blame the black man. Do you have ideas about who really did kill her? Your car going backwards up that hill - too creepy & spooky for me. I can guarantee you I will NEVER go to that road. The thought of ghosts scare the damn daylights out of me. I sure as hell do not want to meet one. You are braver people than I am Thanks for a very interesting video.
I was hoping you all would do this story. My Dad worked at Hobet mine #7 up 22 mine road. He worked there for 32 years. I heard a lot of stories about her ghost.
@@thehillbillyfiles maybe next timeI come in for a visit we can meet up for lunch and I can share some with you. I was raised over in Delbarton. Not too far from you all.
700 dollar funeral in 32 would be equivalent to a 16, 000 dollar funeral today so apparently her husband wasn't to upset by her actions to give her that expensive funeral right? When you was filming in parts of that town it gave me the chills ! What kind of vibes were you getting when you were there?
Just found you guys and really enjoy your storytelling and vids. Just noticed I look a little like the guy in this vid, share a name with a defendant and my "Gammie"s, actual name was Mamie. She was around 6 years older than your Mamie & only mystery about her grave is no birthdate. Was told she was quite vain about it. Oh, her name didnt rhyme with Gammie. How my oldest cousin said grandma when he learned to speak & it stuck.
Yep , Makes sense.....the way words sound and context gets confused sometimes .. in The 80s in WV a bunch of fisherman started aggravating their state representatives about the state stopping stocking streams and lakes with fish.......... Turns out they were misinterpreting the new ANTI-STALKING LEGISLATION they had heard about.
my comment is about one of your videos from 1 month ago called "Kentucky winter camping". Would you please give a review on the tent you used. Is it big enough for 2 adults? How sturdy? Would you recommend it etc. Measurements, how the layers work? Is it hard to set up?
