The Ghosty Girls Dolly Parton Extravaganza!

Send us Fan Mail

Due to overwhelming listener request, we have decided to take a break from true crime this week and give you an episode dedicated to Tennessee's one and only Dolly Rebecca Parton. Country star, philanthropist and humanitarian, Dolly Parton is one of, if not the most well loved human being in America and quite possibly, the world.

From extremely humble beginnings to eventually ruling the world with her huge platinum blonde wigs, dazzling rhinestone gowns, ample bosoms and kind heart, today we examine the life and cultural impact of a true idol and legend. Oh, and we also weave some Smoky Mountains paranormal stories in too! RIP Dolly - you were truly one of a kind and we will always love you, Queen!
