165 • The Hunter of Highway 20

From the late ’70s, through the ’80s, and all the way to the early ’90s, horror movie fanatic and humble highway mechanic John Ackroyd cruised up and down the 20 chewing Fireballs. Patrolling the central Oregon woods. Occasionally hunting deer, but preferably poaching a girl.Source:The Oregonian - https://www.oregonlive.com/watchdog/page/ghosts_of_highway_20.htmlFor exclusive content join DT + on the Apple podcast app, or… Patreon ~ patreon.com/darktopicDT + on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7kbG9WiVSLz81QoXw3yVHt?si=xnD_wClDTcS4D37k62PiNQAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
