Tori Selznick and Krysti Adams

Old friends discuss local legends starting with the ones they know from their home state. Legendary people, places, and random facts about Indiana abound here. While we started in Indiana, the world is full of legends and we want to explore them. Laughter, history, and spooky facts included. We like getting down to the bottom of these legends and giving both the facts as well as the lore. If history and interesting stories, sometimes with a spooky bent, are up your alley, so are we! We like telling each other stories and hope you will like them too! Oh, one more thing, you want ghosts? That's how you get ghosts...

    Some Sh**ty Stories

    Send us a text   Krysti leads off with the tale of Clipperton Island. This island is now the home to poisonous crabs and that’s about it. This island was “owned” by many countries by the end of its saga. This island was the source of mass amounts of guano which was in high demand for fertilizer. There were fights between countries over this itty bitty island. This led to Mexico claiming the island and leaving a contingent of folks to guard it. These settlers get stuck due to things like WWI and the Mexican Revolution. This also prevented the supply ships from coming. All the things proceed to go wrong and bat shit crazy is a term for a reason. This island is now a French island. Tori takes us to Edinburgh Castle. This castle has been in use since AD 638. This castle has been a source of conflict between the English and the Scottish. The Scots did retain it and is home to the Lia Fail and the Honours of Scotland. This castle has been the home to kings, queens, sheriffs, and soldiers. The castle itself is made of limestone, we’ve talked about limestone and stone tape theory before. And guess what? This sucker is haunted with many ghosts.  Our Sources: historydefined.net, damninteresting.com, historicmysteries.com, historic-uk.com, edinburghcastle.scot, great-castles.com, thelittlehouseofhorrors.com, mercattours.com Our theme music:     Camille Saint-Saëns: Danse Macabre - Busy Strings by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License.  Support the show

    The Ghost of Executive Function

    Send us a text TAKE TWO!!!!! Krysti leads off with the Curran Theater in San Francisco. This was a hotbed of crime as well as the theater arts. From murder to catching criminals in front of the building, guess what, you want ghosts, that’s how you get ghosts. Tori comes in second with terrible pronunciation and Dragholm Castle in Zealand Denmark. This castle survived several iterations and has a shady past. It’s been known to have over 100 ghosts. Several tropes show up in this story, including a lady in white, a gray lady, a mad squire, and prisoner bishop. Tori keeps it going with the Skirrid Inn in Wales, which at being over 900 years o;d has seen it’s share of history and ghosts. Krys finishes us off with the Watson-Curtze Mansion at Hagen History Center. This mansion on Erie’s millionaire’s row has it’s own checkered past, not to mention it’s share of ghosts.
