    The Fox Sisters: The Girls Who Talked to the Dead

    Two young sisters claimed the knocking in their walls was a spirit answering their questions, and from that prank grew a movement of millions who believed the living could speak with the dead. This is the true history of how a childish trick became a religion. On Six Feet of History, host August Mercer tells the real story of the Fox sisters and the birth of Spiritualism: the knocks, the séances that swept America, the public confession decades later that it was all a fraud, and the grief that no confession could ever touch. If you love true history, strange true stories, the history of belief, and the dark untold corners of the past, this is your history podcast. New stories every day.

    The Wow! Signal: 72 Seconds From the Stars

    In nineteen seventy-seven, a radio telescope detected a strong signal from deep space, at exactly the frequency scientists expected aliens to use. It lasted seventy-two seconds and never came back. This is the true history of a mystery we have never solved. On Six Feet of History, host August Mercer tells the real story of the Wow! Signal: the one word an astronomer scrawled in the margin, the alien hypothesis that cannot be proven, the mundane explanations that do not quite fit, and the hard discipline of holding a genuine mystery open.

    The General Slocum: Fire on the Water

    On a bright morning in nineteen oh-four, a steamboat carrying a community of women and children to a picnic caught fire, and more than a thousand died in sight of the shore. This is the true history of New York's deadliest day before the eleventh of September. On Six Feet of History, host August Mercer tells the real story of the General Slocum disaster: the burst fire hoses, the life jackets rotted to dust, the lifeboats wired in place, and the corporate neglect that killed over a thousand people and erased an entire neighbourhood, now almost completely forgotten.

    The Cardiff Giant: The Greatest Hoax of Its Age

    In eighteen sixty-nine, workers dug a ten-foot petrified giant out of a New York farm, and thousands paid to marvel at it. It was a fake, buried by a man who wanted to prove how eagerly people would believe. This is the true history of America's greatest hoax. On Six Feet of History, host August Mercer tells the real story of the Cardiff Giant: the block of carved gypsum, the showman who built a fake of the fake, and what the whole affair reveals about the human hunger to be amazed and the will to believe over the facts.

    The Collyer Brothers: Buried Alive in Their Own Home

    Two brothers sealed themselves inside a house packed with a hundred and forty tonnes of junk, tunnelled through it, and rigged it with deadly traps. Then one trap killed its builder, and the other brother starved in the dark beside him. This is their true history. On Six Feet of History, host August Mercer tells the real story of the Collyer brothers: a tale of compulsive hoarding, isolation, and fear, and how a home can slowly become a cage, then a trap, then a tomb. The story that made "Collyer brothers" a permanent warning. If you love true history, dark history, strange true stories, and the forgotten corners of the past, this is your history podcast.

    Emperor Norton: The Emperor of the United States

    In eighteen fifty-nine, a bankrupt businessman declared himself Emperor of the United States, and the city of San Francisco decided to let him. This is the true history of the beloved madman who reigned for twenty-one years. On Six Feet of History, host August Mercer tells the real story of Emperor Norton: the free meals, the currency he printed that people actually honoured, the police who saluted him, and the tens of thousands who mourned him. A warm, strange story of a city that chose to meet madness with mercy.

    The Darien Scheme: The Colony That Broke a Nation

    A small, proud nation poured nearly all its wealth into one colony on a fever coast at the far side of the world, and lost so catastrophically that it gave up its independence. This is the true history of the disaster that helped create Great Britain. On Six Feet of History, host August Mercer tells the real story of the Darien Scheme: how the ruin of one colony bankrupted Scotland, fed directly into the union with England, and helped forge, out of one nation's failed dream of empire, one of the mightiest empires the world has ever seen.

    The Somerton Man: The Body With No Name

    A well-dressed man was found dead on an Australian beach with no wallet, no name, every label cut from his clothes, and a scrap of paper reading "it is ended." This is the true history of one of the great unsolved mysteries. On Six Feet of History, host August Mercer tells the real story of the Somerton Man: the code no one could crack, the nurse who would not talk, the decades of Cold War spy theories, and how modern DNA may finally have given a lost, lonely man back his name.
