Bag of Bones
If you love history, but want to follow the un-beaten path, then this podcast is for you. My name is Elizabeth Bourgeret and I love to learn about the untold stories of American history. The ones that don't make it to the history books. The darker side. The strange. The peculiar. The deadly. Peek behind the curtain of America's yesterdays and listen to the collection of tales found in my Bag of Bones. #bagofbonespodcast #elizabethbourgeret Contact me: http://www.elizabethbourgeret.com/contact More Episodes: http://www.ragtagnetwork.com Follow us on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/bagofbonespodcast

“Man is the crowning glory of God’s creation. God made man in His own likeness and in His own image, and that’s why it is a sin to kill a man. It’s not a sin to kill an animal. If you just go out and shoot a dog, that is not a sin; but if you kill a man, that’s a sin. Why? Because man is made in the likeness and image of God.” - Clyde Thompson, the Meanest Man in Texas If you are loving the episodes that Bag of Bones brings you every week, please consider helping this podcast and it's traveling author by supporting our sponsors.

“The interesting thing about this place is that the young people, the young hippies that came in… they were having supernatural experiences with God. Real live ones. They were marked by their experiences after giving their lives to Jesus . Something really WAS happening to them.” “In spite of whatever Tony and Suzie wanted and how they were going to manipulate it they, these kids, were really meeting God. And so it was hard to convince them that what was going on, was a cult.” Rebecca (Bill’s staunch believer’s daughter) If you are loving the episodes that Bag of Bones brings you every week, please consider helping this podcast and it's traveling author by supporting our sponsors.
