10-Minute Mystery: The Witch's Tower Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

In the 1940s, the scenic Hills and Dales MetroPark in Kettering, Ohio added an observation tower, built to look like the turret of a fortress. It became a lure for mischief makers who vandalized it and partied around it. But allegations that it's haunted come from the very real tragedy of a girl who was struck and killed by lightning after turning to the tower for shelter from a storm.

In 1851, at the second National Woman's Rights Convention held in Akron, Ohio, a runaway slave named Sojourner Truth used her compelling life as an argument in favor of gender equality. Her speech electrified the crowd and her catch phrase "Ain't I a woman?" became a battle cry for feminists. But did Truth really say the words for which she is most famous? 20th-century historians launched an effort to find out. 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

Ep. 167 - Is George Remus "The Great Gatsby?" Jan 31, 2022

Show notes

When Chicago lawyer George Remus moved to Cincinnati in 1920, he was already famous for pioneering the temporary insanity defense. But he had another career in mind when he came to Ohio - building a criminal empire. Later, some would say F. Scott Fitzgerald modeled his legendary character Jay Gatsby after the multimillionaire who was so brilliant, he got away with shooting his wife in front of dozens of witnesses. www.ohiomysteries.comfeedback@ohiomysteries.com www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Audionautix- The Great UnknownThe Great Phospher- Daniel Birch
