Welcome to Season Two of Deadly Truths. I’m Becca, your host — and this season, we’re stepping inside the heart of America’s most haunted fortress: Fort Leavenworth.

Behind these stone walls, soldiers were tried, executed, and buried under numbered headstones — their stories silenced, but never gone. Between 1875 and 1961, at least 136 men were executed at the Old U.S. Disciplinary Barracks, making it one of the most chilling sites in U.S. military history.

In this Halloween bonus episode — The Ghosts of the Disciplinary Barracks — we’ll uncover the dark history of Fort Leavenworth’s executions, the real soldiers who met their fate there, and the eerie encounters reported long after the last gallows fell silent.

From Private John Bennett, the last man hanged by the U.S. military, to the infamous Leavenworth Seven, their spirits still echo through the halls — boots on the catwalk, whispers in the dark, and the creak of a rope that never stops swinging.

This is Leavenworth: Death in the House — where history and horror share the same address.
