    Oliver House Redux

    Oliver House Redux

    The Oliver House is located in Bisbee, Arizona, a quaint town with a historic mining background. As is the case in most mining towns, this town has a rich history with gambling, prostitution and murder taking center stage. The Bisbee of the modern era may have quieted considerably, but the unseen world has not stopped kicking up its heels. Long dead residents still seem to be hanging around and one of their favorite places to knock about is the Oliver House.

    Ep. 535 - Berrima Courthouse and Haunts

    Ep. 535 - Berrima Courthouse and Haunts

    The Berrima Courthouse in the beautiful Southern Highlands of New South Wales in Australia is a great example of colonial architecture. The courthouse was a necessity as the colony was built on convicts and many continued their wayward deeds. The village of Berrima itself was an important stop on the path from Sydney to Victoria and there were several hotels in the area. Many historic structures still remain and spirits just may be inhabiting them, including the ghost of Australia's first serial killer. Join us as we explore the history and haunts of Berrima, Australia! The Moment in Oddity features the Crawfordsville Monster and This Month in History features the birth of Edward Everett. Our location was suggested by Julie Barton.

    Ep. 534 - Haunted Cemeteries 29

    Ep. 534 - Haunted Cemeteries 29

    It wasn't until the nineteenth century that it occurred to people that cemeteries could make great parks. A movement carried over from France and swept the nation and garden cemeteries were founded in every state. These became gathering places for family picnics and settings for long, peaceful walks enveloped in the shade of countless varieties of trees. Several of these cemeteries are not as peaceful as they could be, with spirits roaming about after dusk. In this episode, we share the history and hauntings of cemeteries in Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Mississippi, Indiana and Colorado. The Moment in Oddity features the Tower of London Hand and This Month in History features ANZAC Day.

    The Morse Mill Hotel in Dittmer, Missouri has it all for history and ghost enthusiasts alike. This location has not only served as a private residence, tavern and inn, but also as a hospital for the Confederate wounded during the Civil War. And during Prohibition, this building was both a speakeasy and a brothel. A female serial killer has been connected to the Morse Mill Hotel as well. This nearly two hundred year old structure is full of surprises and quite possibly, ghosts. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Morse Mill Hotel.

Always engaging!

I have been a proud listener for well over a year, topics are truly fascinating and there is so much research behind each episode. I love the perfect blend of history and paranormal and the host Dianne is such a pleasure to listen to. I wouldn’t have it in any other way!

Speak too quickly!

I really wanted to like this podcast, but the presenters speak so quickly I had to check my settings- and I’m Australian so speak quite quickly myself. Couldn’t listen.

Very enjoyable

I really enjoy this podcast. The hosts are engaging and the information provided is really interesting and obviously well-researched. I'm deducting a mark as I find the mispronunciation of foreign words and named distracting. It may sound pedantic but I do feel that given the amount of research that obviously goes into episodes, research into correct pronunciation would be a small further step that would make a huge difference. If not, at least an acknowledgement/apology that pronunciation may not be correct.... Anyway, just my opinion.... Still love listening to the ladies!
