The Sooner State is full of charming small towns where life is seemingly safe, the streets are quiet and wide open spaces are bountiful. But that might be a different story in the small town of Weleetka, Oklahoma – a small-knit community of less than 1,000 residents. One tragedy after another has struck Weleetka and now the residents are beginning to wonder if their town is cursed.
After four tragedies swept through this little town in just a few short years, residents think the town is cursed and want the bad luck broken.

Many residents have moved out of town due to the tragedies. They say the town is just not the same and the economy has taken a downturn. People don’t congregate and socialize around town like they use to.
