TGIY Ep. 9 - Ghosts
History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind
Ghosts. This is a topic with which the church does not like to deal. And this is whether people are asking tough questions like, “What is a ghost?” or asking for help with a haunting taking place in their homes. Most churches treat the topic as a whole with a couple of simple answers. These are demonic entities, and we shouldn’t have anything to do with spirits or ghosts don’t exist. But is that what the Bible has to say about ghosts? Main theme: Crazy For Thrills by Muse Music with Groove Studios

There are several important mountains in the area that we today call the Holy Land. Mount Hermon is one of these mountains and has been considered sacred for all of recorded history.

The River Jordan’s headwaters launch from here, El lived here with his 70 sons and the Grotto of Pan stands at its base. This mountain is not discussed in mainline churches, but it should be, because the ultimate battle started here. Main theme: Crazy For...

info_outlineWe are joined on the show today by Jim Dean, Creative Director of Haunted Walks, Inc. Our research assistant Carbon Lilies helped with the research and shares their experience at the jail. Ottawa in Ontario is the capital of Canada. This city has a high standard of living, low unemployment and a rich history being the historic home of the founding fathers of Canada. Within this city is located the historic jail known in previous years as the Carleton County Gaol. Like so many older jails, treatment here for prisoners was not always humane and men, women and children were housed together. The jail is now a hostel known as the Ottawa Jail Hostel, but something from the past still remains. Spirits still seem to roam the hallways and many of these entities are not happy. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Carleton County Gaol. Moment in Oddity features the Versailles Time Slip and This Day in History features the hijacking and disappearance related to DB Cooper.
