Stories of Mormon Missionaries, Audio
In this project, Amy Turner interviewed two former Mormon missionaries, Janelle Bassett and Thomas Turner. Both had been missionaries serving in Portugal and Northern California respectively and are now students at Radford University. Ms. Turner was interested in this as a research topic because she is a member of the Mormon Church as well and wanted to hear first-hand information and accounts of the mission experience.

A Local Legend: The Sisters in Black, Audio
In this project, Jenny L. Hill researched and interviewed people about the local legend of the Three Black Sisters, who at one time ran the Montgomery Female College in Christiansburg, Virginia. Stories about the three sisters include tales of murder, secret padlocked rooms, mysterious late night burials, strange visitors, charred bones, large insurance policies, and suspicious suicides. We may never know the truth about the sisters, but Ms. Hill researched and interviewed Christiansburg residents to find out what she could.

Steve Epperly, A Local Legend, Audio Part 1
In this project, Nicole King conducted interviews to gather information about the murder of Gina Hall. Ms. Hall was a student at Radford University in 1980 and was last seen with Stephen Epperly, who has been charged with her murder. Mr. Epperly is the first person in Virginia to be convicted of murder without a confession, a body, or an eyewitness. Ms. Hall’s body has never been recovered. For this project, Nicole King interviewed her grandfather, Gordon King Jr, who lived near and knew Stephen Epperly. She also interviewed other people who know Epperly, and people who were in the area at the time of the interview.

Taking Lives or Giving Life: The Paradox of the Parrott Coalmines
In this project, Lisa Lisanti interviewed several people from the small community of Parrot, Virginia. The town of Parrot was originally started as a mining community and the men of the town worked in the Little Vein mine in Parrott, Virginia. Today many people who live in the town have no real connection to the mines and so Ms. Lisanti chose to interview people who had lived and worked in the town during its mining days.
