The giants of Seville Ohio Mysteries

    • History

In the late 1800s, Captain Martin and Anna Bates - both approaching 8 feet tall - were the stars of PT Barnum's traveling show, visiting cities from the east coast to the west, and entertaining royalty in Europe. But both attempts by the couple to have a child ended in death. With no heirs, many have wondered what happened to the couple's fortune, their outsized gold and diamond jewelry, and gifts made to them by queens and presidents. www.ohiomysteries.comfeedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: Riverrun (Reprise), by Nick Frank.  https://www.facebook.com/nicholasfrankmusic Additional music: Audionautix- The Great Unknown, and The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch
