REWIND: The Mystery Airships of 1896-1897 Feb 19, 2024

Show notes

In November of 1896, California residents reported seeing ships in the air sailing over the homes - a sight all the more puzzling since airships hadn't been invented yet, and the Wright Brothers wouldn't fly their first plane for another seven years. Those mysterious airships moved east, and arrived over Ohio in April the next year. www.ohiomysteries.comfeedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: Audionautix- The Great Unknown The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch

Show notes

Cleveland's seedy underbelly in the early part of the 20th century could rival most any major city in the US. Crime, greed, graft and corruption became routine part of daily life in Cleveland. Mayor Burton brought famed lawman, Elliot Ness to Cleveland to root out crime from within the ranks of the Cleveland Police Dept. Ness would be put to the test quickly by leading a raid on the Harvard Club, a large scale gambling racket operating just out of the city limits in Cleveland. Serving up to 1,000 patrons a night, the club was ran by mobsters "Shimmy" Patton, Arthur Hebebrand, and Daniel T. Gallagher. Find out what happens when Elliot Ness comes face to face with 20 gangsters armed to the teeth.

Ep. 261 - Bodysnatchers of the Homeopathic Hospital College Feb 12, 2024

Show notes

In 1878, graverobbers stole the body of Edwin French from Willoughby Cemetery, but all they ended up doing was pulling a loose thread that unraveled a scheme to provide corpses to the Homeopathic Hospital College in Cleveland. The search for French's body uncovered three more loved ones - two Portage County women stored in pickling barrels and a child musical prodigy from Cleveland buried in a shallow grave. The school's entire faculty was hauled before judge and jury.

Ep. 260 - The Battle of Lake Erie Feb 05, 2024

Show notes

When the War of 1812 began, the British quickly and easily seized control of Lake Erie - a prized possession since it was the northern border of Ohio, some of the coveted land being fought over. The Americans responded by setting up a shipyard in Erie, Pennsylvania, intending to build a Navy fleet from scratch and wrench control from the British. On Sept. 10, 1813, the American Navy, under Commodore Oliver Perry, faced off against the Royal Navy to decide who would control the lake.

Ep. 259 - Cheryl Fossyl: A different kind of justice Jan 29, 2024

Show notes

In 1977, boys in Georgetown found a decapitated head while fishing. It belonged to Cheryl Fossyl, a local high school junior. No one was ever convicted of her murder, but 30 years into the cold case, her family would fight and win a sort of justice against two men they believed responsible, and against former Brown County officials who had protected them. The civil suit revealed the details of a deathbed confession, and the unexpected motive behind Cheryl's murder.
