Special Episode: The Silence Between the Trees

Lake Bodom, Finland — June 5th, 1960.
Four teenagers went camping beside a tranquil lake just outside Helsinki. By morning, three were dead. The fourth, badly wounded, would become the only witness — and eventually, decades later, a suspect.

This is the story of the Lake Bodom murders: one of Finland’s most infamous unsolved crimes. But unlike every other story told in These Walls Remember, this one takes place in the open. There’s no house. No door. No walls to hold the memory. Only a tent, torn open in the dark. Only forest. Water. And silence.

This special episode steps outside our usual format — because some places don’t need walls to remember. Some hold their stories in the shape of the ground, in the angle of the trees, and in the way the light changes near midnight.

Because what happened here… never truly left.

Episode 7: 1120 Morning Glory Drive

Houston, Texas — early 1970s.
In a neighborhood of tidy lawns and unlocked doors, a quiet man named Dean Corll hid a secret darker than anyone could imagine. Over the course of three years, Corll — aided by two teenage accomplices — abducted, tortured, and murdered at least 28 boys and young men. They called him “The Candyman” because of the sweets he handed out to children. They never suspected what he kept behind the walls of his small green bungalow on Morning Glory Drive.

This episode unravels one of the most horrific serial murder cases in American history — not just the crimes, but the way the crimes blended into the fabric of an unsuspecting city. We follow Corll’s early life, his slow transformation into a predator, the recruitment of his teenage accomplices, and the chilling way Houston Heights became a silent hunting ground. We walk inside the houses where innocence ended. We listen to the spaces that bore witness. And we sit in the unbearable silence left after the truth was finally dragged into the light.

The house at Morning Glory Drive is gone now. But the address remains. And the ground underneath still carries the weight of what happened there.

Some places aren’t haunted because of what we can see.
They’re haunted because of what we can never fully forget.
