THE SHAG HARBOR UFO INCIDENT Oct 25, 2016

Show notes

On the night of October 4th, 1967, at about 11:20pm, it was reported that something had crashed into the waters of Shag Harbor, Nova Scotia. Multiple witnesses reported hearing a whistling sound and then a boom as the flying object approached the waters about 1/2 mile offshore, floating, its lights changing color, then disappearing beneath the water and traveling eastward, leaving only a yellow wake of frothy water behind. Was it an alien craft, or a top secret government project? Two men, one of whom was a boy of 12 who witnessed the UFO, never gave up on finding the truth, despite government cover-ups. Their book, "Dark Object" , by Chris Stiles and Don Ledger, is still sought out on Amazon. This story honors their efforts and that of all those who pursue the truth.

THE BATTLE FOR JUSTICE IN ATHENS, TENNESSEE 1946 Apr 12, 2016

Show notes

This true story, often called "The War in Athens, Tennessee", describes the actions of the citizens of a small town, in this case mostly GI's recently returned from the battlefields of WWII, as they armed themselves to insure a fair election against a heavily armed and provenly corrupt town police force and political party which had gone as far as the murder of innocent civilians to insure their power. We at this podcast, by telling this story, want to make it clear that we do not condone violence in any way, shape, or form, as a means to achieve political change. You are left to decide who the heroes are in this story, and you have the obligation in this country to get involved in local, state, and government politics, and do your best to support candidates who are level-headed, moral, and seek a fair outcome for all the people. A letter from Eleanor Roosevelt to the town of Athens is included in our audio at the end of our story. Timeline: The Daily Post Athenian The Battle of Athens, Lone Seiber, American Heritage Magazine 1990 Interview with Bill White, Kurt Pheiler & Brandi Wilson, Veterans Oral History project, University of Tennessee (2000) Eleanor Roosevelt's letter to Athens (1946)

THE TELLTALE HEART by EDGAR ALLEN POE Mar 26, 2016

Show notes

This short story comes from our Mysteries file and is a chilling short story from classic American author Edgar Allen Poe. Poe is considered one of the greatest horror story writers and as the only author that has a professional football team named after one of his works (The Baltimore Ravens). This story is not intended for children or the feint hearted. Edgar Allen Poe died a very mysterious and untimely death- for more of this story go to our past episode "THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF EDGAR ALLEN POE". Normally we add classic authors episodes to our new show "1001 Classic Short Stories and Tales" (www.storytellerfam.libsyn.com) but due to the nature of this short story we did not want to place it in the Kids & Family section where 1001 Classic Short Stories & Tales now resides.

TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES Mar 12, 2016

Show notes

It is the kind of story you expect to find in the movies- but this one is taking place in real life. When 21 year-old American soldier Norwood Thomas met 17 year-old Joyce Durrant on the banks of the River Thames in London a few weeks before the JUne 6, 1944 D-Day Invasion, neither had any idea they would be reunited by a Skype conversation 71 years later. Norwood was attached to the 101st Airborne division, an elite group of paratroopers whose mission it was to make a jump behind German lines during the Invasion of Normandy, not knowing if the Allies would be able to break through the German's strong coastal defenses or not. Prior to the mission, training in England, he met Joyce Durrant. The winds of war were to separate the two, each of whom married and raised a family, she in Australia, and he in Virginia. Fate wasn't finished with them yet, however, and an old love was about to be given a second chance. This story isn't finished--you can follow by searching "Norwood Thomas + Joyce Morris" + "update"- to see how they are getting along. You can find our show at iTunes (search 1001 Heroes and subscribe FREE) and at Podbay.fm (Seacrh 1001 Heroes, subscribe FREE), and at our website at www.1001storiespodcast.com.
