Ep. 561 - Legends of Sea Monsters Oct 24, 2024

Show notes

The most unexplored areas of the earth are its vast waterways. Humans can't breath underwater and thus our explorations of the seas are very limited. We often wonder if stories about mysterious and sometimes ferocious sea creatures are inspired by our imaginings of what could be below the surface of the water or if they are based on true experiences. When deep sea explorations do manage to send back pictures, some very unique and weird creatures are revealed. They help to make some of the legends we have heard about monsters in the water, more believable. On this episode, we are going to explore the myths and legends and possible true stories of sea monsters. The Moment in Oddity features the Cornell Pumpkin and This Month in History features Dizzy Gillespie.

Phantasmal Crime 38 - Murders at the McCormick Farm Oct 22, 2024

Show notes

The McCormick Ranch is located in a remote part of the Eastern Plains in Stratton, Colorado. Mike McCormick and his father worked the property with the help of homeless men they hired during the 1980s. No one can be sure if these homeless men were actually paid for their work because many of them ended up dead. The ranch was the perfect place for serial killers to do their dastardly deeds as no one would hear the victims scream. Several bodies were found on the property, but not all of them, and that may be why this ranch is crawling with paranormal activity.

Ep. 560 - Haunted Cemeteries 30 Oct 17, 2024

Show notes

A bench, hewn from natural wood, that is located in one of our featured cemeteries reads, "Here I sit broken-hearted, thinking about, our dearly departed." And that is why we have cemeteries. To remember our dearly departed family and friends. For those of us that wander these cities of the dead, we make new friends along the way as we stop and read a headstone here and there. A life remembered for a brief moment. We give that to the dead when we stop and care. And in some cemeteries, our efforts do not go in vain as we are watched and surveyed from beyond the veil. On this haunted cemeteries episode, we feature haunted cemeteries in Arizona; Alabama; Ontario, Canada; Prague, Czech Republic; South Dakota and two St. Mary Churchyard's in London, Britain. The Moment in Oddity features The Giant's Causeway and This Month in History features the bombing of St. Paul's Cathedral.

Ohio State Reformatory Redux Oct 15, 2024

Show notes

The Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield was originally meant to help wayward young men get back on the right road. The beautiful Gothic reformatory built of iron and limestone is so picturesque that it was used as a location in the movie, "The Shawshank Redemption." What happened to many of the residents of this building was anything but beautiful, and certainly was not about truly reforming young men. Stories that include torture, beatings and other misdeeds are numerous. And wherever strong emotions are built up, we usually find some kind of unexplained phenomenon. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Ohio State Reformatory!

Ep. 559 - Lord Baltimore Hotel Oct 10, 2024

Show notes

Viewing historic pictures from the Lord Baltimore Hotel conjures images of the Overlook Hotel and Jack Torrance standing for a photo with a large group of guests. It's heyday came during the glitz and glamour of the 20s and 30s. The hotel has stood for nearly 100 years and hosted several notable people. It also was the scene of several suicides after the Stock Market Crash. And for that reason, despite its historic charm, there are many ghosts hanging around the hotel. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Lord Baltimore Hotel. The Moment in Oddity features El Ojo and This Month in History features Bruce Mozert Photography.

Stones and Bones Ep. 1 - Burying the Dead Oct 08, 2024

Show notes

One of the more difficult tasks that humans have had to face since the dawn of our era on this dusty little planet is what to do with our dead. Various cultures have worked out a variety of ways to accomplish this task. There are cave burials, fiery boat launches, cliff side burials, canopy burials, burials at sea, above ground crypts, traditional in-ground burials and the list goes on. On this inaugural episode of Stones and Bones, we are going to discuss these methods and the history of burial grounds.

Haunted Pine Barrens and the Jersey Devil Redux Oct 01, 2024

Show notes

The Pine Barrens cover 1.1 million acres in New Jersey and the thick wooded area has lent itself to stories of hauntings and dozens of legends. The most famous legend features the Jersey Devil, a tale about a mother giving birth to a devil baby. We'll explore the superstitions that existed in the area around the idea that devil babies could be born and cover the various sightings that have continued far past what would be a reasonable life span. Did Captain Kidd bury treasure here? Does a black shuck wander the forest? And who are all these ghosts? Come with us as we look at the legends of the Pine Barrens.

A Dead Cade of History Goes Bump Sep 30, 2024

Show notes

Welcome to our 10th anniversary! On October 1, 2014, the first episode of History Goes Bump dropped. I never imagined that this little hobby I had started up would get to over 8 million downloads, be nominated for awards, get covered in magazines and become another form of income for me. I just hoped my family and friends would listen and enjoy what they heard. But I also hoped that it would become more and get people excited about history and introduce people to some great historical locations. I hope in some small way that I've helped to develop your appreciation for historic architecture and inspired you to support the preservation of old buildings. And obviously, I hope that I've given you a welcome space for sharing your unexplained experiences and a community to care about you and what happens to your spirit, both here and in the afterlife. That is the greatest reward of all.

We share about some of our favorite episodes, Diane's dad joins us to share a bit of family lore, we announce some new content coming your way and we share some of our favorite bloopers!

Ep. 557 - The Life and Afterlife of Karen Carpenter Sep 26, 2024

Show notes

Karen Carpenter was one half of the Carpenters, a brother and sister singing duo that sold over 150 million records and they had 17 hits. She was an amazing drummer and singer. Her voice had no equal. But despite her amazing talent, she was a tortured soul that suffered from an eating disorder at a time when such a thing was misunderstood and it eventually took her life. And quite possibly that may be why her spirit is at unrest. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of Karen Carpenter. The Moment in Oddity features the Stonehenge Altar Stone and This Month in History features the Panic of 1873.
