Ep. 507 - Mount Washington Hotel Oct 05, 2023

Show notes

Omni Hotels & Resorts own a long list of haunted hotels and they embrace that reputation. One of their hotels is the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. This is a beautiful location surrounded by the White Mountain National Forest, so it is no wonder that the rich would make this one of their playgrounds. Some of the grandest hotels ever built in America's history, were built here. Perhaps it is that link to the Gilded Age that has locked in spectres to this establishment. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of the Mount Washington Hotel. The Moment in Oddity features The Hambone Award and This Month in History features the first World Series radio broadcast.

Ep. 506 - Haunted Portugal Sep 28, 2023

Show notes

Portugal sits right along the coast of Spain and while Spain overshadows it in size, the history of Portugal is vast. A mix of cultures have lived and ruled here for centuries. The country became a leader in exploration of the world and thus a principal entity for world trade. Today, the Republic of Portugal is a respected country that heralds peace and has a population of 11 million people. There are quite a few ghosts among that population and on this episode, we are going to feature several locations in the country that are reputedly haunted. The Moment in Oddity features radioactive boars and This Month in History features the first passenger locomotive.

Phantasmal Crime 28 - Finding the Bodies Sep 26, 2023

Show notes

We often wonder why spirits stay behind in haunted locations. Many times the answer is that some sort of trauma was experienced. And digging even deeper, we sometimes find that a spirit is at unrest because their case hasn't been solved or even perhaps that their body hasn't been discovered. I've been collecting ghost stories from around the world for years. I found this one out of India that happened not too many years ago. This is the story about a murdered couple who wouldn't rest until their bodies were found.

Ep. 505 - Haunted Lincoln, Nebraska Sep 21, 2023

Show notes

Lincoln, Nebraska is the home of the Cornhuskers and its also the state's capitol city. The Sower stands atop the tower of the Capitol Building, preparing to toss some seeds to businesses and neighborhoods below. Some refer to the area as fly over country and describe the landscape as boring. But for us, if you throw ghosts in the mix, a city becomes suddenly exciting. And a quick drive through the nearby rural areas certainly inspires visions of Children of the Corn. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of Lincoln, Nebraska. The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Jannae McCabe and features the Cookiecutter Shark and This Month in History features the creation of Chia Pets. Our location was suggested by Dan.
