    Eastern State Penitentiary Redux

    Eastern State Penitentiary Redux

    Prisons had once been thought of as just holding areas to punish people.  In the late 1800s, a movement started that aspired to a higher ideal of  reform, rather than punishment. Eastern State Penitentiary was built to  launch that reformation in the American penal system. The prison's  edifice is formidable and resembles a castle. This eventually became the  most famous prison in the world. The prison ran for 142 years and today  serves as a museum that offers both historical and ghost tours and  hunts. Officers, inmates, staff and visitors have all reported haunting  activity for decades at the  prison. Join us as  we explore the history and hauntings of the Eastern State Penitentiary!

    Ep. 547 - Haunted Outer Banks Series - The Lower Islands

    The Outer Banks stretch for 200 miles from southeastern Virginia to Shackleford Banks in North Carolina.

We traveled much of this stretch on our recent road trip and took in many of the sites while learning about the history and legends of this area. A key figure in history connected to the Lower Islands of the Outer Banks was Blackbeard the pirate. He came to his violent end here. There are numerous haunted locations and legends in the Outer Banks. On this first episode of our Outer Banks Series, we are going to explore the history and hauntings of the Lower Islands! The Moment in Oddity features a castle-like structure part of a Canadian home and This Month in History features the first air conditioner invented.

    Ep. 546 - Winnipeg's Hamilton House, a Psychical Hotbed

    Ep. 546 - Winnipeg's Hamilton House, a Psychical Hotbed

    Dr. T. G. Hamilton was a trail blazer in the field of Paranormal Research. Hamilton was a medical doctor and because of his experiences with death, he began to wonder if there was a way that we could figure out what happens to us after we die. Hamilton and his family moved into a large home in Winnipeg and it was here that he carried out much of his research, along with his wife. Their children continued the legacy of peering behind the veil. And perhaps that is why the Hamilton House of Winnipeg, Canada is said to be haunted. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Hamilton House. The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Chelsea Flowers and features reindeer killed by lightning and This Month in History features National Hot Dog Day. Our location was suggested by Kim Bergen.

Misinformation Galore

I just listened to the Biltmore episode and was disappointed by the misinformation that was shared. There were numerous incorrect “facts” shared including basic things that could have been researched ahead of time such when the house opened to visitors and who owns the house now. It’s still owned by the family but they state it’s owned by the historical society which completely goes against why the house can still be called the largest privately owned home in America to this day. Additionally, no real details were shared so I didn’t get to learn much.
