Ep. 546 - Winnipeg's Hamilton House, a Psychical Hotbed Jul 11, 2024

Show notes

Dr. T. G. Hamilton was a trail blazer in the field of Paranormal Research. Hamilton was a medical doctor and because of his experiences with death, he began to wonder if there was a way that we could figure out what happens to us after we die. Hamilton and his family moved into a large home in Winnipeg and it was here that he carried out much of his research, along with his wife. Their children continued the legacy of peering behind the veil. And perhaps that is why the Hamilton House of Winnipeg, Canada is said to be haunted. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Hamilton House. The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Chelsea Flowers and features reindeer killed by lightning and This Month in History features National Hot Dog Day. Our location was suggested by Kim Bergen.

Seguin Island Lighthouse Redux Jul 09, 2024

Show notes

Seguin Island is an island off of Maine that has been a part of maritime history long before the American colonies were founded. The island can only be reached by boat, and is home to Maine's tallest and second oldest lighthouse, Seguin Island Lighthouse. This lighthouse is known by its more common name, Seguin Light, and not only dates back to the birth of America, but it carries a rich history that includes a gruesome tale. What has happened at this lighthouse seems to live on, not only through stories, but through spirits as well. The light is always on at this lighthouse. Come with us as we climb the spiral staircase of legend into the afterlife.

Ep. 545 - USS Yorktown Jul 04, 2024

Show notes

We just returned from a road trip through the Outer Banks of North Carolina and along our way, we stopped in Charleston, South Carolina. We've seen the USS Yorktown from afar before, but on this trip, we boarded this magnificent aircraft carrier twice. She was one of twenty-four Essex-class aircraft carriers built during World War II. Today, the carrier is a museum that not only houses the museum of the Medal of Honor Society and artifacts from her service, but there are rumored to be several spirits on board. Join us as we share the history, hauntings and our experiences on board the USS Yorktown. The Moment in Oddity features Henry "Box" Brown and This Month in History features the death of Jean Moulin.

Ep. 544 - Haunted Old Sacramento Jun 27, 2024

Show notes

Old Sacramento is known as Sacramento's "Front Porch." The entire sector is protected as a National Landmark and for good reason. Much of California's early history is seated here. The town saw immense growth during the California Gold Rush and with that came death as well. Cholera epidemics swept through and fire and floods destroyed the place more than once. Old Sacramento had to be raised eighteen feet to prevent flooding, leaving behind underground tunnels. These tunnels are said to be filled with spirits and several of the historic buildings that still remain have unexplained activity. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Old Sacramento. The Moment in Oddity features the FLIP Research Vessel and This Month in History features the Cuyohoga River Fire. Our location was suggested by Brian Pertl.

Kilmainham Gaol Redux Jun 25, 2024

Show notes

During the 19th century, jails in any country were places that many people went to die because of the poor conditions. Kilmainham Gaol was no different. The history of Kilmainham Gaol spans over two centuries and holds a place in the annals of Ireland's fight for independence. Today, this immense structure still stands and runs as a museum relaying the stories of hundreds of prisoners who included notable revolutionaries and common men, women and yes, children. And now it seems to be home for the spirits of several of these former occupants. Join us for the history and hauntings of Dublin's Kilmainham Gaol!

Ep. 543 - Haunted Castles of the Netherlands Jun 20, 2024

Show notes

Many people focus on visiting Amsterdam when they visit the Netherlands. The Red Light District is a place that paranormal enthusiasts may find a ghost or two. There's spooksteeg or "ghost alley" and Bloedstraat, which is Blood Street. But the really promising haunted locations are in the outer areas of the country, the castles. There are stories of Blue Ladies, screaming hunters, dancing ghosts and Faust. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the castles of the Netherlands. The Moment in Oddity features the Olmec Colossal Heads and This Month in History features Medgar Evers' Assassination.

Small Town Tennessee History, Ghosts and Bigfoot Jun 18, 2024

Show notes

Paranormal Conversations are random, off-the-cuff discussions on all things paranormal. On this 21st Paranormal Conversation, we are joined by our listener Clint Hopper. Clint lives in the small town of Troy, Tennessee and his family's roots are deep here. We talk history of the town, Civil War history and battles, some dark history connected to the treatment of blacks after the Civil War, Clint's unexplained experiences at a historic cemetery and slave quarters on a plantation and since Clint is a coon hunter, we couldn't help but ask if he has run into any cryptids out there in the Tennessee wilds. He had a couple of chilling stories about that. We also talk about a World War II hero who was from Troy and just recently passed. If you love southern history, you are really going to enjoy this!

Ep. 542 - Haunted Mystic Jun 13, 2024

Show notes

Mystic, Connecticut was a seafaring village in the early settlement of America. This was the scene of a horrific massacre that more than likely has left behind a negative spiritual residue. That residue leaves many believing that this is a cursed place. Based on the ghost stories and devastating fires of Mystic, we tend to agree. Join us for the history and hauntings of Mystic, Connecticut! The Moment in Oddity features cooking cicadas and This Month in History features the birth of Eugene-Henri-Paul Gauguin. Our location was suggested by Jay Littman.
