Ep. 175 - The Haunting of Alma Fielding Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

During the 1920s, the term poltergeist became popularized to describe the variety of hauntings in which spirits could actually make loud noises and actually move physical objects. In 1938, a Hungarian paranormal researcher named Nandor Fodor investigated the poltergeist haunting of a seemingly average housewife named Alma Fielding. Fodor came away from the experience believing he had solved the mystery of what was really behind poltergeists.

Ep. 172 - The Triangle Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

Back during the start of the 20th century, the Gilded Age gave way to the Progressive Era as immigrant labor was forced to work long hours in terrible working conditions. This all came to a head on March 25, 1911, when a fire broke out in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York's Lower East Side, killing 146 people. It was one of the greatest tragedies in the history of America.
