TGIY Ep. 23 - Samson the Superhero
History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind
Samson in the Bible had superhuman strength and this strength was connected to his hair. His parents were told by Yahweh to never cut his hair and Samson was raised to know that he must never let a razor touch his head. For anyone who knows the story, it isn't Samson's hair that gives him strength, but Yahweh. There is no one else in the Bible that Yahweh showed this specific type of favor towards. Samson was like a precursor to Superman, only he wasn't an alien. He was human. The strongest human in the history of mankind. This kinda makes Samson a superhero. Main theme: Crazy For Thrills by...

The Moravian denomination is one of the oldest Protestant denominations in Christianity. Its roots date back to the mid-1400s and was one of the first movements to break free from Roman Catholicism. Many of the followers became exiles and traveled to America, where they settled in states like Georgia, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. They established their own cemeteries, dubbing them as God's Acre. Intro and Outro music "Stones and Bones" was written and produced by History Goes Bump and any use is strictly prohibited.

The Cary House Hotel was built to accommodate people coming in for the Gold Rush and was the jewel of Placerville. The hotel is believed to be quite haunted and there could be several reasons why. The Odd Fellows were strong in this town and met at the hotel. And there were two deaths there. But it isn't the only haunted location. Several buildings have spirits.

info_outlineBoone, North Carolina is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, in an area of the state locals refer to as the "High Country." Boone and the surrounding areas seem to be a hotbed for strange occurrences, tragic deaths, and hauntings almost as chilling as the mountain air. Two prominent locations that we covered from this town are Moses Cone Manor, featured on Ep. 62, and Appalachian State University, featured on Ep. 202. These locations are not only surrounded by beauty, but they have spirits and we thought it would be fun to revisit both on this redux.
