TGIY Ep. 21 - Raising the Dead

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind

Modern medicine has made it possible to raise the dead. As long as the person who has died, did so very recently. So far, no one that has been dead for days has been raised from the dead. There have been attempts through history to accomplish this feat though. Man has tried to use electricity to bring dead nerves back to life. Authors like Mary Shelley have written classic tomes about man's pursuit of this endeavor and ultimate success. But that was fiction. As they say, with God, all things are possible and one of those things is the raising of the dead. There are stories throughout the Bible...

BONUS: #10 Downing Street

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind

We are taking this week off to recover from Halloween, so we have a BonusCast to share instead, featuring #10 Downing Street. It is the most famous address in British politics. This is the home of the British Prime Minister. The building is 300 years old and was not a place where many early Prime Ministers wanted to live. It wasn't fancy and for many years it was downright dangerous due to its shoddy construction. Today, it is much better and has been the backdrop to many famous historic events. It also is home to several spirits!

HGB Halloween Special 2025 - Halloween Music

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind

We always try to pick a fun theme for our Halloween Special and this year we thought we would feature Halloween Music. Not just the music one might hear in a horror movie - and we will definitely talk about some of that - but music made specifically for Halloween. There is a whole history to what some may call "Monster Music" that goes from fun novelty songs to Goth Punk and even the disturbing. Join us for this candy corn filled, costume wearing romp through one-eyed purple people eaters, monsters mashing, ghostbusters busting and nightmares before Christmas. Check out the website:...

Ep. 610 - Legends of Feathered Terrors

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind

Can there be anything more terrifying than a monster that can swoop down out of the sky and attack? Perhaps even pick you up? Probably the most famous scary flying creature of American lore is Mothman, but the pterodactyl would have to be the most petrifying flying monster in the history of the world. But to be sure, neither of these creatures have feathers. They seemed to fly with bat-like wings. However, there are a class of feathered fiends that could give both of them a run for their money. Join us for legends of feathered terrors! The Moment in Oddity features high hopping wallabies....

Witches in America Redux

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind

On the podcast, we have covered the Salem Witch Trials and other witch hunts in America and Europe. When we originally produced the Witches in America episode, we touched on a couple of the witch hunts that took place before the Salem outbreak, some Native American witches and then a couple of infamous witches, the River Witch of Marietta and the Bell Witch. We are still going to include some of that here, but the witch hunt material got a more thorough treatment in Episode 307, so we pulled that out. This Redux will explore some other witch narratives from America that we didn't cover before...

TGIY Ep. 20 - Numerology

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind

We all have our favorite numbers that we consider to be lucky. There are numbers that some steer clear of because of superstitious beliefs or bad experiences. Numbers mark important dates and can be symbolic. Nearly everything is based on mathematics whether it is engineering a bridge, building a house, counting items, creating a computer program and so much more. Numbers are important to humans. They are clearly very important to the spiritual world as well, based on the Bible. Main theme: Crazy For Thrills by Muse Music with Groove Studios
