TGIY Ep. 24 - They Didn't Die
History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind
Nearly everyone, if they could choose the way they die, would say they want to die warm in their bed, asleep. No pain. Just peace. But an even better choice would be not to die at all. That happened for two men in the Bible: Enoch and Elijah. They were just whisked away by YAHWEH. Why did they get this special treatment? Even Yeshua had to die. There are some who believe that this special exception to the Biblical precept that mortals are appointed to die once was also given to the Apostle John. Some believe that John never died and may still be among us. Main theme: Crazy For Thrills by...

We covered this historic and famous brothel back on Ep. 120 in 2016. This is one of the few haunted locations we have found in Montana and it is located in Butte. The town has its roots in mining and was known as the "Richest Hill on Earth." Gold, silver and copper were all mined here. As was the case with so many mining towns, a successful red light district grew within the town. One of the most successful and high-class brothels in town was the Dumas Brothel. Rich clientele could have their fantasies met here, but there was also pleasure for the working class in the basement, which ran like...
