    Ep. 539 - The Drover's Inn

    The Drovers Inn has stood for over 300 years and is one of Scotland's oldest and most haunted pubs. This establishment was named for the highland drovers, which were cattle drivers. Over the years, thousands of people have stayed here. Some have experienced paranormal activity and there seems to be many stories connected to this location and to the drovers themselves that involve death. And this, of course, leads to ghost stories. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of The Drovers Inn. The Moment in Oddity features the Xiaozhai Heavenly Pit and This Month in History features Frank Capra. Our location was suggested by Robert Kruse.

    Ep. 538 - The Haunting of Carl Jung

    Ep. 538 - The Haunting of Carl Jung

    Carl Jung was a world renowned psychoanalyst and although he was a man of science, he embraced the unusual readily. Not only did Jung develop the theory of synchronicity, but he was a big fan of the occult and studied the ways that mythology affected people's psyches. On top of that, he wasn't shy about sharing experiences he had at a haunted cottage in England. On this episode, we will explore the life and haunting of Carl Jung. The Moment in Oddity features Hodges Meteorite and This Month in History features the first flush toilet patent.

    General Lafayette Inn Redux

    General Lafayette Inn Redux

    When we originally covered the General Lafayette Inn in early 2015, we named the episode after its then current incarnation: Barren Hill Tavern and Brewery. That endeavor closed in 2016 and was reopened as The General. That too closed, in January of 2020. Today, it is owned by business guru Michael M. Carter who runs it as a business incubator called The Mission Corporation. The building is beautiful and has stood for nearly 300 years outside of Philadelphia, meaning it has an extensive history. Stories of unexplained happenings have been told about the property for years. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the General Lafayette Inn!

    Ep. 537 - Old Slater Mill and Tavern on Main

    America's industrial past lends itself to ghost stories. No one can doubt that working in industrial mills was a dangerous enterprise. These mills employed whole families, including children starting at six-years-old. Slater Mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island covers five acres in the Blackstone River Valley and is credited with being the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in America. There are three buildings on the property and all of them are reputedly haunted. The Blackstone Valley has several haunted locations and we'll also explore Tavern on the Main. Join us for the history and hauntings of Old Slater Mill and Tavern on the Main! The Moment in Oddity features Chachapoya Mummies and This Month in History features the Smallpox Vaccine.

    Phantasmal Crime 34 - The Serial Killer and the Devil's Tree

    Phantasmal Crime 34 - The Serial Killer and the Devil's Tree

    Gerard John Schaefer had been a Florida Law Enforcement Officer. Police are some of our most trusted public servants. Our default position when it comes to police officers is to trust them. And most of the time, that position is correct. But sometimes it can be wrong. Very wrong. That was the case with Gerard John Schaefer. He was a prolific serial killer during the heyday of serial killers in the 1960s and 1970s. There are those who say he made Ted Bundy look like a Boy Scout. Many serial killers have a particular place they gravitate to for dumping bodies. Schaefer had a place he liked to torture and kill young women. That place is known as the Devil's Tree.

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.
