    The Olde Park Hotel has stood for over 130 years in Ballinger, Texas, which is known as the Greatest Little Town in Texas.

    Stones and Bones Ep. 3 - Mount Auburn Cemetery

    Mount Auburn Cemetery was the first step in the Rural Cemetery Movement. This Massachusetts Cemetery is nearly 200 years old and has seen a lot of American history, which means there are many notable burials here. The idea behind creating garden-like rural cemeteries was to give the public a beautiful and peaceful place to find inspiration, to visit their dead and to enjoy a park setting with the family. Come with us as we explore this cemetery movement and the extraordinary cemetery that started it all!  Intro and Outro music "Stones and Bones" was written and produced by History Goes Bump and any use is strictly prohibited.

    Ep. 566 - La Purisima Mission

    La Purísima Mission is located in Lompoc, California. The Spanish mission once covered nearly 300,000 acres and was established to evangelize the local indigenous people known as the Chumash. The mission was successful with as many as 24,000 cattle and sheep and over 2,000 people. There was a major earthquake and the Chumash eventually revolted and the mission was abandoned. Eventually it was restored and is today a state historic park with stories of hauntings. Join us for the history and hauntings of La Purisima Mission. The Moment in Oddity features a hidden message found inside the wall of a lighthouse and This Month in History features the signing of the Danish-Icelandic Act of Union. Our location was suggested by Marisa Tull.

    Ep. 565 - Haunted Cedar Key and the Island Hotel

    We originally featured the Island Hotel and Restaurant in Cedar Key, Florida back on Ep. 36 in 2015. In November 2024, we stayed overnight and did a little investigating and while our experiences were subtle, it does seem that paranormal activity does occur here. The building was originally built in 1859 and used as a general store and it was built to last. The building material that was used was Tabby, which is a mixture of oyster shells, sand and limestone, and the structure has lasted 165 years. The most recent hurricanes to hit the area, particularly Hurricane Helene, only caused slight wind damage to the structure. The building has passed through the hands of many owners, some of whom may still remain in the afterlife. People claim there are as many as thirteen ghosts here. The rest of Cedar Key did not fair well during Hurricane Helene, but we still enjoyed the surroundings of what seems to be a very haunted island. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Island Hotel and Cedar Key! The Moment in Oddity features Frog Milk and This Month in History features Puerto Rico discovered by Christopher Columbus.

Below the surface of painted sunsets and beautiful beaches lies a dark history of mysterious and tragic losses. Folly Beach really has it all from shipwrecks to the Civil War to pirates. Blackbeard himself took cover at Folly Beach. A native tribe also died out here. Is it this colorful history that has led to rumors of hauntings?
