    57- Creatures Unraveled: Dwarven Cryptids and Missing Mummies

    Follow us to Idaho and Wyoming to talk about the dwarven creatures seen by Native American tribes in the early 1800's, but the story doesn't stay there. We then cross to talk about the small mummies that have been found and if they could be proof of these early creatures. And wait there's more, we wrap up the episode with talk about cannibalism and how it should be explicity banned throughout the world. https://icatchshadows.com/the-legend-of-the-tennessee-pygmies/ https://www.legendsofamerica.com/wy-littlepeople/ https://coffeehousewriters.com/rocky-mountain-nimerigar/ https://www.ksl.com/article/news/us/meet-chiquita-wyomings-500-year-old-mummy/30599925 https://weather.com/news/news/chiquita-wyoming-mummy-20140707 https://brickthology.com/2022/08/19/little-people-native-american/ https://www.native-languages.org/nimerigar.htm https://intothewonder.wordpress.com/tag/comanche/ https://www.loreofancestors.com/cherokee-mythology/yunwi-tsunsdi/ https://intothewonder.wordpress.com/2013/12/23/yunwi-tsunsdi-cherokee-little-folk/ https://appalachianhistorian.org/yunwi-tsunsdi-the-cherokee-little-people-of-the-southern-appalachians/ https://intothewonder.wordpress.com/2013/12/23/yunwi-tsunsdi-cherokee-little-folk/ https://allwatch.us/2023/11/08/legends-of-the-nimerigar-the-mysterious-mountain-dwarves-of-idaho/ https://www.idahopress.com/kuna/a_e/stranger-than-fiction-cannibal-dwarves-of-the-owyhees/article_8503e1f0-0756-52a5-805c-f347127647b1.html https://ohiogenealogyexpress.com/coshocton/coshoctonco_hist_1876/coshoctonco_1876_pg_159_chapt_XIX.htm https://www.eaglesrestpark.org/dwarfs-and-gnomes

    50- Dark Days in Time: The Tragic History of Old Cahawba pt 1

    Join us for todays episode when we travel to the town of Old Cahawba (also spelled Cahaba). From its beginning as a Native American village, it was then transformed into Alabama's original capital, the town changed from the capital, to a small town built by cotton and the hundreds of slaves that cultivated it, once again changing during the civil war to hold the union prison called Castle Morgan. Not many of the prisoners died during Castle Morgan's run, but that does take away the problems the prisoner's faced. And for many the tragedies don't end there. Primary Sources Fry, Anna Gayle.
