The True Story Of The Winchester Mansion Oct 22, 2024

Show notes

There is no single residence in America that seems to fit the description of HAUNTED HOUSE better than the Winchester Mansion in San Jose, California. And if there is a house that has a richer history, a more mysterious reputation, and a greater reputation for its connections to the spirit world, I can’t think of it.

The Rise And Fall Of "Pacer" Smith Oct 15, 2024

Show notes

On November 29, 1895, the very first professional athlete in America history to receive a death sentence was executed for the murders- a bloody act that had shocked the Illinois town where he lived. The murders and the hanging that followed two months later left a black mark on the city’s history – and they also left two separate hauntings behind.

The Long Island Murder Cottage Oct 08, 2024

Show notes

On the hot New York City afternoon of June 26, 1897, a handful of boys were swimming in the East River just south of an abandoned dock at the foot of East Eleventh Street. The boys soon noticed a package floating nearby. In the package were two human arms attached to a man’s torso.

So much for a fun afternoon….

The Phoenix Bungalow (Winnie Ruth Judd And The “Trunk Murders” Sep 24, 2024

Show notes

Violet Grimm knew something was wrong when Ruthie, her tenant, came to the door. She looked tired, and she seemed preoccupied and nervous. She was hoping that Violet’s husband, Howard, could help her with some luggage. H.J. Mapes was the baggageman on the train that night. He’d been with the Southern Pacific Railroad for 23 years and had managed thousands of bags, so he knew right away that something was wrong with the large steamer trunk that had been loaded in Phoenix. He noticed a strange smell and then when he looked closer, he was sure that it was leaking blood.

The Mystery and Crimes of Pearl O’Loughlin Sep 10, 2024

Show notes

As Peal handed the rice around the table, Douglas reached for the bowl, but Pearl quickly moved it out of his reach. “You’ve got enough on your plate,” she told the little boy. She pushed it past him and placed it in front of her stepdaughter, Leona. She knew that rice was one of the little girl’s favorite foods.

“There you are, dear,” Pearl smiled widely at the girl. “Please help yourself....”

The House On Ridge Avenue Aug 27, 2024

Show notes

For decades, stories circulated about the “most haunted house in America.” And the whispers told of bizarre murders, gruesome deaths, human experimentation, and visits to the house inspired not only horror stories but even a great inventor’s fascination with death and the afterworld. If any home in the country deserved the moniker of America’s most haunted house, it was this one. However, only some of what you have heard is true...

Murder At Taliesin (Frank Lloyd Wright) Aug 13, 2024

Show notes

The average person probably doesn’t know the name of too many architects. It’s not usually something that easily comes to mind, unless you’re an architecture or history buff, but there is one name that most will recognize – Frank Lloyd Wright.

On August 15, 1914, one home became a scene of horror when a grisly murder spree claimed the lives of Wright’s mistress, two of her children, and four others who worked at the estate.

Murderous Matron At Morse Mill Jul 16, 2024

Show notes

In August 1928, a woman from a tiny town in Missouri was arrested on two counts of first-degree murder. As you might imagine, the arrest of a 56-year-old woman with a reputation as a nurse and healer in the community where she’d lived wasn’t your run-of-the-mill news story in the late 1920s. It was a shocking event to people who lived in nearby St. Louis, but those from Franklin County, where the woman lived weren’t as surprised.
