Felt Mansion Redux
The Felt Mansion was meant to be a beautiful and spacious place of escape during the summer for the Felt family. It was a representation of a successful life set on the shores of Lake Michigan. Death doesn’t care about family or success. It comes when we least expect it and at cruel times. And that is what happened to the Felt family. Now it would seem that family spirits have chosen to stay here in the afterlife. Join us as we explore the history, legends and hauntings of the Felt Mansion!

TGIY Ep. 3 - Blood Moons and Werewolves
Blood moons are not rare, but when they happen in consecutive cycles, they deserve some attention. They have occasionally been used as signs and wonders by Yahweh. Back in 2014 and 2015 there was a big craze that was called the Blood Moon Prophecies. Nothing came of this, but it doesn’t mean that blood moons aren’t important. Talking about full moons and blood moons makes those of us that are Weird Kids think of werewolves. Is it possible that the Bible talks about werewolves? Yes, yes it does!

Ep. 576 - U.S.S. Forrestal
The USS Forrestal was one of the largest aircraft carriers ever built. She served for nearly four decades before being decommissioned in 1993 and then she was scrapped in 2015. During the Vietnam War, the carrier experienced a devastating tragedy with bombs on board the ship that led to several fires and over a hundred men dead. And because of that, stories of ghosts on the ship have been told about her. One particular ghost was known as George. Join us for the history and hauntings of the USS Forrestal. The Moment in Oddity features The Cursing Stone and This Month in History features the end of the Guadalcanal Campaign. Our location was suggested by Karen Miller.

Phantasmal Crime 42 - Murder at the Red Barn
Murder is a ghastly matter. At the hands of a loved one, it truly becomes heinous. Most murder victims are murdered by someone they know and a high percentage are killed by either a lover or spouse. This is not a new statistic. History proves that to be a fact. Polstead, Suffolk, England was not a place where one would expect a murder to occur, particularly in 1827. But a crime of passion did take place here and a young woman was left dead. The horrifying murder was nicknamed the "Red Barn Murder" because of the location of the murder. The paranormal takes center stage in the solving of this case as the victim's stepmother was visited by her spirit at night, three times. And then there is the cursed skull of the murderer and his spirit.

Ep. 575 - Haunted Wall Street
The name "Wall Street" immediately brings images of financial markets, the stock exchange, ticker tapes and a giant bronze bull, but Wall Street was originally a wall that formed the northern boundary in the 17th century of what would become New York City. Eventually, the area near this wall would become the heart of America's financial district. Wall Street has inspired books and movies and led to probably hundreds of suicides. It's not surprising that Wall Street would have its share of haunts because not only is the Stock Market a volatile thing, but the financial district has a gory past. Join us for the history and hauntings of Wall Street. The Moment in Oddity features Bog Butter and This Month in History features the birth of Charles Darwin.

Ep. 573 - Carlinville Courthouse
Carlinville is a small town stop along the original Route 66 and is located in Macoupin County, Illinois. The town is home to the "Million Dollar" Courthouse, which seems a bit out of place because it is so massive and cost so much to build. The building began as a small project that ballooned out of control, surrounded by money laundering schemes and scandals. Today, the courthouse is a top tourist attraction and is the final stop on the local ghost tour. Someone who knows a thing or two about that tour and has had her own experience at the courthouse is Courtney Egner. She will be joining us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Carlinville Courthouse.

Stepping inside the lobby, takes one back to an earlier time with its lavish decor.

Phantasmal Crime 41 - The Ghosts of the Executed
Many a murder case has been won in court on just circumstantial evidence. This is true of present day cases and it was true back in the 1840s when a man named David Sheely lost his life at the end of a hangman's rope. Many believe he was an innocent man. And perhaps that is why his ghost haunted people for decades after his hanging. Sheely certainly isn't unique. Through the centuries, many wrongly convicted people have been put to death. It's one of the reasons why many people don't support the death penalty. There are many stories of murder victims coming back as spirits to find justice. Is it possible that wrongfully executed people have ghosts that return as well? And what of the truly guilty? Do they not make the transition out of fear? Do their spirits stay as they seek penance? Or were they just so evil, even Hell won't have them?

Stones and Bones Ep. 4 - Mount Hope Cemetery
A few years after Mount Auburn Cemetery was established, the city of Bangor in the state of Maine would follow its lead. Mount Hope Cemetery would become the second rural cemetery established in America. Bangor was named for the oldest city in Wales and is the "Queen City" of Maine. At the time that the cemetery was established, the city was known as the "Lumber Capitol of the World." And while the city was quite successful, its burial grounds were in bad shape. Many were abandoned and unkempt and the ones that were still being used were overcrowded. Bangor's mayor in 1834 even declared that the cemeteries caused a "soul chilling experience." This would change as the city decided to try its hand at this new garden cemetery experiment.

In April 2018, Diane visited Waverly Hills Sanatorium for the first time and several listeners joined her on a tour of the place. The group experienced some unexplained things and Diane has been dying to get back and show me the place. Covid thwarted our plan to investigate privately with a group of listeners in April 2020. So, with an unexpected trip to Louisville in December 2024, we couldn't pass up a chance to do a tour. Gargoyles maintain sentinel duty atop the imposing structure of the sanatorium. Are they keeping ghosts locked inside or protecting the interior from spirits? It's hard to say. Perhaps a little of both as Waverly Hills Sanatorium quite possibly is one of the most haunted locations in America. Join us for this return to the history and hauntings of Waverly Hills Sanatorium!

Occidental Hotel Redux
The Occidental Hotel is a historic hotel in the town of Buffalo, Wyoming. The area was once a thoroughfare for those seeking treasure during the Gold Rush or a new life during Westward Expansion. That made it attractive for outlaws too. The town was the setting for A&E's drama "Longmire." The Occidental Hotel was heavily trafficked for a while and then went bust, almost leading to the wrecking ball. Today, it has been restored to a grand hotel once again, giving guests a chance to go back in time to the old west. And just like so many tales of the Old West, this one has a ghost story or two.

Phantasmal Crime 40 - The Black Donnellys
The Black Donnellys were an Irish family looking for a new start across the Atlantic Ocean in the early 1840s. James and Johannah Donnelly had lived in poverty and strife and they hoped that Canada would bring a new start for their little family. So they packed up what little they had, along with their son James, Jr., and migrated to Forest City, Canada from Tipperary, Ireland. They would find a new life in this new world, but they would not gain it in the right way. They would take what was not theirs and this would lead to strife for their family. It would eventually lead to a lot of death as well. And now spirits roam the former Donnelly homestead.

Beijing is a city with over 3,000 years of recorded history. Not only is this a city with a rich history, it has a rich culture, some of which is surrounded by folklore and the supernatural. There are several haunted locations in this capital city of China. Chaonei (Chow nay) No. 81 is found in the Dongcheng District and is a unique brick structure with an obscure history that seems to be mostly connected to the Catholic church. No one really knows why it is haunted, but it is said to be one of the most haunted locations in China. There is the Huguang Guild Hall, a haunted theater. A home for royalty, the Prince Gong's Mansion, has a couple ghosts stories. The Bell Tower may be connected to a young woman's ultimate sacrifice and now it occasionally rings out her haunting cry.

The Baker Hotel Redux

The Baker Hotel Redux
The Baker Hotel is known as The Grand Old Lady and is located in Mineral Wells, Texas, a town named for the mineral springs in the area. In the early 1900s, the city became a place for those seeking healing from the curative effects of the mineral springs. To provide lodging for these guests, the Baker Hotel was built by Theadore Baker. For years, this once grand resort sat decaying, but today it is undergoing extensive renovations with a plan to reopen in 2026. We have to wonder what the many spirits here have to say about that. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Baker Hotel.

Stones and Bones Ep. 3 - Mount Auburn Cemetery
Mount Auburn Cemetery was the first step in the Rural Cemetery Movement. This Massachusetts Cemetery is nearly 200 years old and has seen a lot of American history, which means there are many notable burials here. The idea behind creating garden-like rural cemeteries was to give the public a beautiful and peaceful place to find inspiration, to visit their dead and to enjoy a park setting with the family. Come with us as we explore this cemetery movement and the extraordinary cemetery that started it all!

Ep. 566 - La Purisima Mission
La Purísima Mission is located in Lompoc, California. The Spanish mission once covered nearly 300,000 acres and was established to evangelize the local indigenous people known as the Chumash. The mission was successful with as many as 24,000 cattle and sheep and over 2,000 people. There was a major earthquake and the Chumash eventually revolted and the mission was abandoned. Eventually it was restored and is today a state historic park with stories of hauntings. Join us for the history and hauntings of La Purisima Mission. The Moment in Oddity features a hidden message found inside the wall of a lighthouse and This Month in History features the signing of the Danish-Icelandic Act of Union.
