Ep. 642 - Zener Cards, the CIA and Psychic Phenomenon
Anyone who has followed and listened to History Goes Bump for any amount of time knows that we consider ourselves open-minded skeptics when it comes to paranormal activity. Particularly the kind of activity connected to psychics. When science gets involved in the paranormal, it lends it some credibility. Parapsychology became a part of college curriculum and at that same time, scientists and government agencies also started paying attention to psychic phenomenon. Intelligence organizations even tried to use it to spy on other countries. On this episode, we are going to look at one of the main tools used to test psi abilities - Zener Cards - and wind our way through the history of parapsychology and some of the famous names connected to this and operations like Project Stargate.

This is the oldest hotel in Denver, Colorado and has been home and witness to decades of history. One piece of that history was a murder that took place in Room 320. That room is now known as the Murder Room and, of course, it seems to be haunted.

Ep. 635 - Haunted Whiskey Row
Over the years, HGB has featured several Millionaire Rows from various historic city downtowns, and this is where the millionaires of old built their stone palaces. In Prescott, Arizona, there is a block that has been named Whiskey Row. Listeners won't be surprised to learn that this patch of rough and tumble was dotted with saloons and other forms of entertainment. Today, it is dotted with haunted locations.

Stones and Bones Ep. 19 - Vienna Central Cemetery

Stones and Bones Ep. 19 - Vienna Central Cemetery
There are around 50 cemeteries in Vienna. Zentralfriedhof or the Vienna Central Cemetery is the largest. As a matter of fact, it's one of the largest cemeteries in all the world. There are hundreds of thousands buried here and among those number are many famous people, particularly musicians. What really caught my eye about the cemetery is that it has 330,000 graves but 3 million interments.

Ep. 634 - Haunted Edmonton
The city of Edmonton got its start as a place of trade like so many other Canadian cities. It eventually would be the Gateway to the North.

These include theaters, schools, hospitals, restaurants and a cemetery. Join us for the history and hauntings of Canada's Edmonton! The Moment in Oddity features the Silver Wraith.

County Wexford in Ireland is a rugged and beautiful land and the Hook peninsula is home to the Loftus Hall Township. The large home was built by the Redmond family 675 years ago and today is in a bit of limbo as to its future. One thing that is for sure is that this property has had a number of uses and been left with a few legends including some about the Devil himself. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Loftus Hall.

Ep. 633 - Chistlehurst Caves

Ep. 633 - Chistlehurst Caves
The name Chistlehurst Caves is a bit deceiving because this system of tunnels and caverns near London is not natural. These are man-made. They started off as chalk and flint mines and later were used for ammunition storage and then as a bomb shelter and this was even a music venue for a time, hosting the likes of Hendrix and Bowie. An entire underground city was once here. There are legends connected to the caves that include tales of Druid ceremonies and there are claims of ghosts. Join us for the history and hauntings of Chistlehurst Caves. This Month in History features the Black Monday of 1360. Location suggested by listener Alana Ashby.

Phantasmal Crime Ep. 55 - The Beheading of Anne Boleyn

Phantasmal Crime Ep. 55 - The Beheading of Anne Boleyn
Anne Boleyn was the second wife of Henry VIII and she probably is the wife that most people are familiar with of his six wives. She was executed, but she was innocent, so this was murder. A schism was created when Henry tried to annul his marriage to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. The King had to wait seven years before he could marry Anne, but his love waned just three years into that marriage. He stood by as she was executed. This kind of betrayal and unjust death can lead to hauntings and in the case of Anne Boleyn, it would seem that her spirit is at unrest.
