Down The River (The Mystery of Glen and Bessie Hyde) Apr 04, 2023

Show notes

There’s probably nothing more American than planning a trip to one of America’s National Parks. And nothing more peaceful than disconnecting from the world while you’re there. Hiking, camping, canoeing, rock climbing, exploring nature… all part of the perfect vacation for the outdoor enthusiast.

But what about when it all goes wrong?

The Mystery of Bobby Dunbar Mar 21, 2023

Show notes

On August 23, 1912, a four-year-old boy named Bobby Dunbar vanished while on a fishing trip to Swayze Lake in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. When Mrs. Lessie Dunbar realized that her son was gone, she contacted the police, who began a massive search for the boy.

Eight months passed before the family’s hopes for Bobby’s return were finally realized —– or at least that’s how it seemed. But no part of this story would turn out to be simple. The boy who returned home was NOT Bobby Dunbar.

The Vanished Heiress (The Disappearance of Dorothy Arnold) Mar 07, 2023

Show notes

A newspaper in 1910 wrote about Dorothy:

"She disappeared from one of the busiest streets on earth, at the sunniest hours of a brilliant afternoon, with thousands within sight and reach, men and women who knew her on every side, and officers of the law thickly strewn in her path."

Such a young woman simply does not just disappear. And yet she did. Because no matter how perfect Dorothy seemed, not everything was as it appeared.

Kidnapped For Ransom (Little Charlie Ross) Feb 21, 2023

Show notes

In 1874, just nine years after President Lincoln was slain, the nation was again shocked by a terrible event. It was not the death of a great leader but the disappearance of a previously unknown four-year-old name Charles Brewster Ross. “Little Charlie Ross” – as Americans would soon know him – was stolen away in what became the first kidnapping for ransom in the history of the United States.

The Man In The Green Pajamas Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

It was at the Sandman where the man in the green pajamas was staying when he came to Jacksonville. Of course, that wasn’t his name. It was Bruce Campbell, and he was a stockbroker from Massachusetts. He came here to visit his son, who was then a professor at MacMurray College in town. Bruce’s first grandchild had just been born and it was meant to be a happy visit for the family.

But it turned out to be a tragic one.

Season Seven Trailer and Topic Reveal Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

Season seven of the American Hauntings Podcast, "GONE", will include stories of mysterious and impossible disappearances that we found in the archives to be the most intriguing, compelling, and downright chilling.

If all these people vanished so easily from the face of the earth, then it means that it could happen to anyone – perhaps even you.

Because, as you’ll learn this season, a disappearance doesn’t have to be possible in order for it to occur. In fact, one of the most baffling vanishings of all time simply couldn’t have happened – and yet it did.

The Lawson Family Christmas Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

Charlie Lawson, the quiet, unassuming man had become more outgoing, especially with the children. He laughed and told jokes, which he never did. His wife might have been happy with those changes in her husband if they hadn’t been so abrupt – and if Charlie had not been spending an inordinate amount of time with their 17-year-old daughter, Marie. Something terrible was going to happen, and it would ruin Christmas in a way that only murder and tragedy can do.
