Winchester Mystery House Redux Aug 20, 2024

Show notes

The Winchester Mystery House or Winchester Mansion is one of the most unique and bizarre homes ever built. The mystery part of the name refers to the interior infrastructure. It truly is a mystery why certain elements were constructed. There are stairways that lead to nowhere and doors that open to walls and windows on the interior of the house. Legends and rumors permeate the history of the home. Was the weird construction an elaborate attempt to fool spirits to keep them at bay? Many of the rumors about the house include tales of haunting activity. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of the Winchester Mansion.

Ep. 551 - USS The Sullivans Aug 15, 2024

Show notes

USS The Sullivans is berthed now at the Buffalo Naval and Servicemen's Park in New York. We learned a lot about USS The Sullivans when we toured the USS Yorktown in June 2024. It's a very different name for a ship and that's because it was named for five brothers who all died aboard the same ship when it was sunk by a Japanese submarine during World War II. Those brothers just may be haunting their namesake. Or maybe there are other spirits here. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of USS The Sullivans. The Moment in Oddity features the Father of the Marathon and This Month in History features the Klondike Gold Rush. Our location was suggested by Erica Merhoff.

Ep. 550 Bellaire Demon House Aug 08, 2024

Show notes

The Bellaire House has a big reputation and is located in southeastern Ohio in the city for which it is named. The Heatherington family built the house, lived here and died here and are said to haunt it now. But this isn't just the Bellaire Haunted House. People refer to this as the Bellaire Demon House. The house is said to be plagued with lots of ghostly and demonic activity. Possibly because it sits on a ley line or maybe because a coal mine blew up nearby killing 42 men. Or maybe somebody just opened a bunch of portals. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Bellaire Demon House! The Moment in Oddity features the motorcycle sidecar ambulance and This Month in History features the Voting Rights Act.

Phantasmal Crime Ep. 36 - Murder in Ballston Spa Jul 30, 2024

Show notes

The Crandell Murder shocked the nation. Sylvester Crandell shot his mother-in-law, his step-daughter, his wife and himself in 1887. This was the worst crime Saratoga County had experienced up to that point. All four people would die and the main motivation seems to have been money. Sylvester Crandell and wanted more of it and when his wife and mother-in-law wouldn't give it to him, his rage erupted. And in the wake of the crime, it seems that the Crandell House has some paranormal activity.

Eastern State Penitentiary Redux Jul 23, 2024

Show notes

Prisons had once been thought of as just holding areas to punish people. In the late 1800s, a movement started that aspired to a higher ideal of reform, rather than punishment. Eastern State Penitentiary was built to launch that reformation in the American penal system. The prison's edifice is formidable and resembles a castle. This eventually became the most famous prison in the world. The prison ran for 142 years and today serves as a museum that offers both historical and ghost tours and hunts. Officers, inmates, staff and visitors have all reported haunting activity for decades at the prison. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Eastern State Penitentiary!
