On April 7th, 1919, a violent explosion ripped through the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth — a blast so powerful it shattered windows a mile away and left dozens of soldiers dead.
The government called it an accident.
The prisoners called it revenge.
And more than a century later, guards still whisper that something beneath those walls remembers.
In this Halloween finale, Becca unearths the haunting true story of The Blast Inside the Walls — a mix of fact, fire, and the ghosts of justice gone wrong.
