Rethinking Our History

Felicia and Ian Lindsey

In this new weekly show from the host of The Paranormal Lovers we take a look at some of histories less well known events. Why are they less well known? Because " History is written by the victors." So we are here to look at the other side of the story, and to give people a starting point to learn about the true history of this country.

    Episode 81: The Donner Party Part 2:

    Send us Fan Mail We are back with the conclusion of our look at the Donner Party and the events they suffered through for months.  Soon the group found themselves trapped on a mountain side that was rapidly being covered with snow. The groups was already low on food, and the next few months would see them eating things none of them would have ever dreamed would pass their lips.  Even when rescue parties began to show up, people had become so used to this way of survival that they kept doing what they felt was necessary.  The events that took place on what is now known as Donner's Pass haunted the survivors for the rest of their lives.   ROH EP 81 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donner_Party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_blindness Thanks for joining us today!

    Episode 80: The Donner Party Part 1:

    Send us Fan Mail This week we take a look at one of the saddest events to take place during Westward Expansion.  Leaving a little latter in the year than was good for them, the Donners and Reeds took a shortcut that had been suggested by a man from Ohio. They had chances to get back on the regular trail, and did a time or two, but they always got back off and took the new route.  Things went bad before the group even made it to the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Crossing over 100 miles of a dry salt lake bed was no easy feat, and things only get harder as the group travels along.   ROH EP 80 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donner_Party https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Nevada Thanks for joining us today!

    Episode 79: The West Mesa Bone Collector:

    Send us Fan Mail We have an unsolved case for you guys this week. In 2009 a woman walking her dog came across a bone. After snapping a picture and sending a quick message, she learns it is a human bone, and calls law enforcement.  What would come out of this area in the desert of New Mexico shocked investigators, but still it remains unsolved.  11 bodies were found out in West Mesa. Most were sex workers with addiction problems, so their disappearances were not noticed for quite some time. That time gave the killer a chance to stop these murders before he got caught. Or maybe they got arrested. Or maybe they moved to a new location. We may never know.   ROH EP 79 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Mesa_murders https://allthatsinteresting.com/west-mesa-murders https://www.historicmysteries.com/major-crimes/west-mesa-murders/29195/ https://people.com/west-mesa-bone-collector-11-victims-still-no-arrest-albuquerque-11812406 Thanks for joining us today!

    Episode 78: The Zoot Suit Riots:

    Send us Fan Mail This week we are looking into a racially motivate event that may not have lead to the death of anyone, but definitely left it's mark on a whole community.  During WW2 officials wanted to cut back on the unnecessary use of materials that could be use in the war efforts. This included the excessive use of fabric to make clothes.  For the Mexican American population this meant giving up their iconic Zoot Suits for something more streamlined and Uncle Sam approved. So when they were seen still sporting their flamboyant suits, it made some people angry.  That angry boiled over to a week long attack on any they saw as different and an affront to the US.   ROH EP 78 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoot_Suit_Riots https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lalo_Guerrero Thanks for joining us today!

    Episode 77: Missing in Missouri: Branson Perry:

    Send us Fan Mail Skidmore Missouri is known in the true crime community well. From his cousin Bobbie Jo loosing her life in a senseless act of violence, to Ken McElroy loosing his life in an act of violence that did make since, this town has had it's fair share of death.  So it should not come as a surprise that when 20 year old Branson Perry went missing from his home, the local police believed foul play might have been involved.  Then just two years later they thought they were going to get a break in the case, but still to this day Branson has not been found.   ROH EP 77 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Branson_Perry https://www.nwmissourinews.com/news/article_8b69c8fc-b319-11ef-ac4b-1bcd0b2bac46.html https://thartribune.com/the-skidmore-mystery-of-a-man-who-vanished-after-putting-away-jumper-cable/ https://disappearedblog.com/branson-perry/ Thanks for joining us today!

    Episode 76: Thomas Edison Part 2:

    Send us Fan Mail We are back this week with our look at a man who has been regarded as the father of modern invention. Recognized for inventing the lightbulb ( which he did not invent) Edison went into many more industries after his work there.  From cement to rubber Edison tried to get a piece of any new technology that was coming out in the world, and he would sue anyone who got in his way. Even if they were the true inventor.   ROH EP 76 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleurisy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Kennedy_Dickson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevenson_Plan Thanks for joining us today!

    Episode 75: WWASP:

    Send us Fan Mail This week we are looking into an industry that hits close to home. A dear friend was traumatized by the troubled teen industry, and one organization in particular was at the middle of it all.  Known as the World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools this organization was created to give parents a place to send their kids when they have hit the end of their rope.  But what parents didn't realize, and what many came to regret later, was that the programs they sent their kids to were abusive. From losing access to food, being put in uncomfortable positions for hours, and the physical and sexual abuse, these programs are more like a playground for psychopaths than rehabilitation programs for troubled youth.   ROH EP 75 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Association_of_Specialty_Programs_and_Schools https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tranquility_Bay https://www.nydailynews.com/2008/03/25/jewish-family-sues-jamaican-reform-school-for-troubled-teens/ https://supreme.findlaw.com/legal-commentary/two-lawsuits-draw-attention-to-the-abuse-suffered-by-troubled-us-teenagers-sent-to-boot-camps-abroad.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provo_Canyon_School https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_therapy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_Creek_Lodge_Academy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synanon https://www.reddit.com/r/troubledteens/wiki/index/reflectionsmt/?solution=2ff64762bb1d89542ff64762bb1d8954&js_challenge=1&token=7afd7253fec22262ff1c52b1703fe9ec8b1d37be9b29a8228173c1e68619a4f8&jsc_orig_r= https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-13353763/jamaica-atlantis-leadership-academy-american-student-abuse-child-cruelty.html   Thanks for joining us today!

    Episode 74: Thomas Edison Part 1:

    Send us Fan Mail This week we are looking into the life of a man who is said to be one of the greatest inventors of all time.  Though he holds 1,093 patents to his name, very few of them were actually thing he himself created. Perks of being the boss I guess.  Thomas did start out wanting to make a name for himself as an inventor. He created a couple of things before he got his big break with the phonograph. But his true interest was in creating electricity, and the bulbs to use it with. Edison would pour a lot into this industry, only to walk away when things got to hard.  ROH EP 74 Source Notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edison https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Paine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonograph Thanks for joining us today!
