Octagon Hall Redux Nov 14, 2023

Show notes

Octagon Hall in Franklin, Kentucky has the distinction of being the most unique house in the state of Kentucky. An octagon shaped home is a rarity, there are only four in America, but this Antebellum home is mysterious and distinct for more reasons than just its shape. Octagon Hall and the entire property that makes up the plantation it was built upon, survived the Civil War and occupation by the Union Army. But something else survives here as well. This Kentuckian historical landmark transforms every Autumn into a haunted house attraction that really is reportedly haunted.

Ep. 512 - Old Stagecoach Inn Nov 09, 2023

Show notes

Stagecoach stops have a knack for being haunted. This isn't surprising due to the amount of activity that these locations experienced throughout history. The stagecoach was the best form of transportation across land before the railroad stretched across America. The Old Stagecoach Inn in Vermont served as a stagecoach stop as well as a tavern. Eventually, the building became a private residence and a former owner named Margaret Spencer might still be here in the afterlife. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Old Stagecoach Inn! The Moment in Oddity features Cannibalistic Funerals and This Month in History features the first patented bra.

Phantasmal Crime 29 - Love Triangle Murder in Quincy Nov 07, 2023

He became friends with two former flower children and when things got complicated, Goodside was murdered. This is a tale of a pot bust, a love triangle, a murder, a body that was dismembered and had parts ending up in different places and a haunting left in the wake.

Legend of the Faeries Redux Oct 30, 2023

Show notes

A belief in Faeries has existed for centuries and stretches all around the world. Early stories of faeries originate in medieval Western Europe and this is where we get the term "Fairy Tales." Stories of faeries traveled with the colonists to America and are still strong in Appalachian and Ozark lore. There are many theories as to what faeries may be and because of this, they take many forms in folklore. And while most people believe that faeries are not real, the belief in these creatures is very real. And there are tales that go beyond superstition and leave open the possibility that faeries may just exist. Join us as we explore the folklore about these fascinating beings and examine some of the tales that are told about them!

Ep. 510 - Legend of the Grim Reaper Oct 26, 2023

There is a pretty standard description of the Grim Reaper. Generally speaking, people envision a cloaked skeleton carrying a scythe. But there is so much more to this figure that has become the personification of death.

The Moment in Oddity features a soldier carrying his eyeball and This Month in History features The Gateway Arch.
