BEST OF (#27 OF 488)THE LEGEND OF THE MALTESE CROSS AND THE GREAT SIEGE OF MALTA Aug 23, 2024

Show notes

There are many versions of the Maltese Cross, including the one shown with this episode, which is commonly used by fire and rescue departments. It is also seen around the world on flags, on medals given for bravery, on uniforms, and on military insignias. The story of the Maltese Cross reaches hundreds of years back into the past to a tiny island of rock called Malta, located about 80 miles off the southern coast of Italy, where a ragged band of warriors called the Knights of Saint John held out through 112 days of brutal fighting to defend Christianity from the Muslim scourge that was threatening all of Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean.

THE LEGEND OF THE 13 TURTLE MOONS and THE LEGEND OF THE WHITE BUFFALO Aug 18, 2024

Show notes

The Legend of the 13 Turtle Moons is a powerful example of the Indian's belief in oneness with the earth. Look on the shell of most fresh water turtles and you will see 13 large scales. The Indians believe that these 13 scales represent the 13 new moons which occure in nature and make up the full year. Each new moon begins a 28 day "month" - 13 months make up one year (364 days- leaving one day for rest). . Add to this the fact that there are 28 platelets surrounding the full edge of the turtle's shell- those 28 representing the 28 days of each of the 13 months. No wonder that the Indians chose the turtle to be the main player in the creation theory which we share here.

As for the white buffalo- many northern tribes believe that the rare white buffalo is a signal of change and a time to make peace. These animals are held to be sacred.This is the legend of the white buffalo and the introduction of the peace pipe to the Indian tribe of the Lakota Sioux.

BEST OF (#26 OF 487) THE INCREDIBLE CAREER OF JACK DEMPSEY THE MANASSA MAULER Aug 16, 2024

Show notes

The incredible true story of Jack Dempsey, the tough Irish prize fighter who popularized modern boxing and held the heavyweight title from 1919-1926, losing it to a controversial decision in his second fight against Gene Tunney, Jack Dempsey was a living legend and made New York City his home, running a restaurant there well into the 50's. His nickname was the Manassa Mauler- "Manassa" because he came from Manassa Colorado, and "Mauler" because he mauled his opponents in the ring, many times before they could rise after being knocked down. His punching power and speed put him in the top twenty all time heavyweight list.

THE WESTFIELD WATCHER AN UNSOLVED MYSTERY Aug 11, 2024

Show notes

In June of 2014, David and Maria Broaddus were making ready to move into their recently purchased dream home in Westfield, New Jersey, when a mysterious envelope addressed to "new occupant" arrived in their mailbox. The letter was both creepy and threatening in tone-assuming that the person who wrote the letter and signed it with"The Watcher" had a strange personal connection with the old house. As follow up letters arrived, the Broadduses delayed moving into the house, fearing for their three children. City, federal, and private investigators got involved, and although they turned up some possibilities- they ended with no suspects. Netflix won a bidding war for the story this past December, and just a month ago the Broaddus family sold the house at a huge loss to an undisclosed buyer. "The Westfield Watcher" has moved to the #1 position in New Jersey urban legends, according to one source.

BEST OF (#25 OF 467) THE LEGEND OF THE LOST MORMON MINE Jul 24, 2024

Show notes

The Uintah Mountains of Northeaster Utah are one of the most scenic places in North America and said to be a prime destination for wilderness hikers, backpackers, and sportsmen. It also attracts gold seekers due to its history of being a source of gold deposits for both the ancient Aztecs and the early Spanish explorers, who enslaved many of the local Ute Indians and forced them into laboring in the mines. When the Mormons settled in Salt Lake City, 100 miles west of the Uintahs, they learned from a Ute Chief of the location of a rich mine in those mountains, but only if a pact could be made and kept that only one man could know the location. The secret to the location died with the descendants of the man who made that pact- and only a very few Utes know of its location. Legend has it they still guard it, and those who get too close don't come out alive.

12 BRAVE MEN OF FAITH: THE STORY OF JESUS'S TWELVE APOSTLES Jul 21, 2024

Show notes

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. The 12 brave men Jesus picked to spread the word of his resurrection and of the one God were regular men, fishermen, brothers, husbands and fathers, tax collectors- men who knew Jesus and had seen his deeds and believed in him. They were given the mission to spread the word across the known world- a world filled with non-believers and ruthless leaders. No Roman in those years would have believed that within 350 years Rome would lead in following the teachings of Jesus and his disciples or that by the year 2024 1/3 of civilization would be practicing Christianity. But the 12 Apostles and those who followed succeeded in changing the world. Most of them were murdered, martyred to discourage others, but they all had made their mark. This is the story and legend of Jesus's 12 Apostles and their mission to save the world from itself.

KILLER SHARKS: US vs.THEM: WHERE THEY ARE, AND HOW TO SURVIVE THEM Jul 14, 2024

Show notes

Shark attacks have been steadily on the increase for the past few years, and many people believe that this increase is due to federal and state laws limiting catches and protecting predator species like the Great White and the Bull Shark. Environmentalists are fighting against nets that protect swimmers but catch marine life and fighting any efforts to cull certain shark populations, going so far as to say that with 5 billion humans alive, and only 5,000 Great Whites, we can afford to loose a few more human lives. Two opposing groups have formed- those who want to save human lives and those who want to save the sharks - hence the title "US vs. THEM".
