Nikola Tesla was an American electrical engineer and inventor who made significant bounds in the areas of electrical applications, motors, remote controlled boats, dynamos, and the invention of alternating current motors which could power cars. To honor Tesla's contribution, Elon Musk, the head of the electric car company Tesla, named his company after the great inventor. One of the least known of Tesla's many projects was the particle accelerator, which some people have named the "Death Ray". In this story we discuss Tesla as well as the story of the legendary Ark of the Covenant, which the Jews used to terrify their enemies. It was a wooden box lined with gold which, according to biblical accounts, emitted a deadly energy source that would kill anyone who touched it. At the end of our story Tesla gives his opinion as to how the Ark got its power. Catch ALL our author interviews in one place here at 1001 History's Best Storytellers!

On May 31st 1889 the earthen dam holding back Lake Conemaugh 15 bmiles upstream from Johnstown, PA burst duriung heavy spring rains, sending a 40 foot wave of death down a narrow river valley in which was located 80,000 persons, and finally reaching Johnstown with houses, alive and dead persons, trees, and scrap of all types, which caught on fire when it all hit the bridge at Johnstown, literally roasting many survivors alive in the conflagration. We feature survivor and author accounts in part one, and in part 2 we deal with the aftermath and investigations. This is a unique history lesson in that there had been warnings, and there had been prior floods- and no action was taken to shore up the dam which caused all the deaths.

TSUNAMI WAVES OF DEATH: Deep below the surface of the Indian Ocean, near the island of Sumatra, two portions of the Earth's crust which had been pushing against each other for the past milennia, one plate, actually the India Plate, gave way along a 1,000 mile faultline, creating a huge fissure in the sea floor as it subducted beneath the pressing Burma Plate, suddenly displacing trillions of tons of water, and causing powerful shock waves in every direction, waves that would introduce untold death and destruction to 14 countries within the coming minutes and hours, causing between 230,000 and 280,000 deaths and unimaginable destruction of property. It was December 26th, 2004. Less than 7 years later, a 8.9 earthquake in Japan set another group of Tsunami waves in motion which caused the loss of 5,000 lives and billions of dollars in losses, despite Japan's awareness of the threat. This episode covers the stories of the 2004 and 2011 Tsunamis, as well as giving us the science of how Tsunamis are created. I Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We look into the mystery of how the shroud could have gone missing for 1200 years after Christ's death and try to solve the puzzle of its authenticity, Was it just a hoax created in the 14th century?Or was it kept safe and hidden by believers who feared it would be destroyed if discovered? And we explore one theory that it may have been kept safe in England by the Knights Templar- the secretive organization of honorable knights who fought hard in battle but lost it all in the game of "Kings" in 1307.

In 1898, a young attorney in Italy who was also an amateur photographer was given permission to be the first person allowed to photograph the burial cloth that was said to be the one that covered Jesus's body when Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus prepared him for burial. It had been in possession of that church in Turin Italy for hundreds of years and was considered sacred. The photographer, Pia Secondo,and two men of the church were busy developing the pictures of the shroud, which was 14 feet long, and carried the very faint image of a man lying on his back.that was said to have been Jesus. Pia was holding the negative plate in his hand, and as he looked at it he drew back in shock, almost dropping it. The face and body of the man in the negative were now visible in stunning detail . Pia Secondo was looking at what he believed to be the face of his lord and savior, Jesus Christ. Join us for the incredible story of the Shroud of Turin.

The land campaign on Guadalcanal The initial amphibious assault on the southern Solomons represented a superb coordination of Allied naval, air, and ground forces. Warships laid down heavy barrages to screen the approach of troop transports and carrier-based planes, and U.S. Army Air Forces bombers softened Japanese defenses. Landing craft took the Marines ashore at key points throughout the islands. The Marines rapidly secured a beachhead on Guadalcanal and captured the almost-complete airstrip that would become Henderson Field. They also seized the smaller islands of Tulagi, Gavutu, and Tanombogo. While the Japanese construction units on Guadalcanal were overcome with comparative ease—or simply melted away into the jungle—the defenders of Tulagi and Gavatu included elements of the elite Special Naval Landing Force (SNLF), and they fought desperately. The battle for Tulagi saw the Japanese garrison destroyed virtually to the last man; this would serve as a grim preview of later engagements in the U.S. campaign in the Pacific. #Semper Fi

When Berlin fell in April-May of 1945 under the Russian onslaught, Adolph Hitler and his new bride Eva Braun, as the story went for years, committed double suicide- he by a gunshot to his head, and she by cyanide. The story continued that their bodies were carried outside of their bunker and set ablaze by their personal guards. For years the Russians kept the whereabouts of their corpses a secret, and conspiracy theories abounded. Some said they had escaped by plane or submarine to South America, Others said that Hitler's body double, not Hitler, was the body that had been burned. Author Robert Hutchinson with his new book The Death of Hitler, examines the evidence and delivers the true story of what happened to Hitler and Braun as well as the stories of the attempted assassinations of Hitler which came very close to ending his life and his atrocities, had it not been for what many call "the luck of the devil".

On Jan 2, 1932, in a rural area in southwest Missouri, 6 lawmen were shot and killed and two wounded in a shootout as a groupof 11 sheriffs and deputies surrounded a farmhouse in which two or three well-armed fugitives were holedup. They were brothers named Harry and Jennings, and possibly Paul, and they were wanted- Harry for murder of a lawman, the others for operating a multi-state auto theft ring. Just about every rule in modern policing was broken- but this was 1932, it was a rural area, and police forces were basically just peacekeepers in farm towns in those days. They had lots of courage but little training. Inside the house were two brothers who had won area shooting contests for years, they had been in prison, and did not want to go back, Check out all 12 1001 podcasts at www.bestof1001stories.comand catch our latest podcasts 1001 True Crime From Another Time and 1001 Stories From The Gilded Age.

"Close Encounters of the Third Kind: The Incredible Story That Inspired the Spielberg Movie", tells of Project Serpo, a top-secret U.S. government program that arranged an exchange program with aliens that sent 12 astronauts to a planet 40 light years away with hopes of gaining insight to another civilization and their technologies. Inspired largely by a well-known physicist named Dr. Hynek, who had been the head of the classified "UFO Project Blue Book", and was hired by Speilberg and Columbia Pictures to advise the production of the 1977 film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", certain story lines and scenes, such as the one showing 12 astronauts boarding an alien craft near the end of the picture, are said to have been very close to reality.

By Christmas of 1914 the war in Europe had been raging for 5 months. A 500 mile long line of trenches stretched from the North Sea, France and Belgium to the Swiss border- the trenches sometimes as close as 100 feet apart. Here we share a number of documented stories of moments of truce beginning on Christmas Eve- when men from opposing armies met in the no man's land between the trenches to exchange tobacco, buttons, and even handshakes before returning to their posts. In some places along the front, men played football (soccer) using whatever was available.

"the Mysterious Death of Edgar Allen Poe"-On September 7, 1849, Edgar Allen Poe, at the top of his career, kissed his fiance goodbye at his home in Richmond, VA, and began a business trip to Philadelphia. He then dropped out of sight for a week, he was found in Baltimore on October 3rd, inside a bar-turned-polling place, drunk and disheveled, wearing clothes that did not fit him, and unable to speak clearly. He was rushed to a hospital, where he lingered on the edge of insanity for nearly one week,before dying. Theories as to the cause of his death have abounded for decades. His doctor had ordered him not to drink, fearing that a lesion close to his brain could lead to his death. Others suggested he was forced to drink alcohol at the polling place and was a victim of "cooping", by which innocent bystanders were grabbed off the street and forced to drink, then vote multiple times. Still others suspect a variety of causes, from murder to rabies. Even more mysterious is the fact that until recently, and for 80 years, a cloaked man was seen visiting the original grave of Poe every year on the same date, where he would leave three roses and a half drunk bottle of cognac behind. Will he come back next year?

Not long after, Bierce disappeared completely, and years of searches have not brought any concrete evidence of what happened to him- but the legend told by those who daid they saw him or knew of him in his last days tells the story very much like the one he envisioned. This is his story.

On a sping day in 1986 two people walked into the Cokeville Elementary School in Cokeville Wyoming and held 154 children and adults hostage in a 50' X 50' room for 2 1/2 hours, claiming that this was a revolution, and that they wanted a ransom payment of $2 million dollars for every child in the room. They entered the building with a gas bomb capable of blowing the side of building out easily if it were detonated. The wife of this crazed husband wife team accidentally triggered the bomb in the crowded room. Shrapnel from the blast peppered the walls but miraculously, only one of the four explosive devices ignited despite the gas flames that shot the woman across the room, and most of the blast went straight up through the ceiling. Other than the man and wife, who died, not another person was killed, although one was shot and many were burned. Some said it was an incredible piece of luck. But as the children's stories began to come out in the days and weeks that followed- their lives were saved by much more than luck. Their story follows- Trailer for TC Christensons "the Cokeville Miracle" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLwaKDaW5ZY Interviews with students and parents; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj9j6L694X4 Book: the CokeVille Miracle: When Angels Intervene by Hartt and Judene Wixom ; https://www.amazon.com/Cokeville-Miracle-When-Angels-Intervene/dp/1462117619/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1542396721&sr=8-1&keywords=cokeville+miracle+book Armstrong, Jamie.

On July 4th, 2026, in fact, all that year, America's Liberty Bell and all its brothers and sisters in every state will be ringing out loud and clear to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. There are many stories surrounding the original Liberty Bell, its crack, and its many renditions both here and abroad, as well as how it is perceived with love and respect by most Americans. It was first given the name 'The Liberty Bell" by the abolishionist movement as they fought for their freedom, and the women's Liberty Bell, which they called the Justuce Bell, was there when they cheered the passage of the 19th amendment giving them the vote. It was there behind the head of Abraham Lincoln as he lay in an open casket on his final trip home. The story of the Liberty Bell is OUR story, and a big part of what makes America special.

The Amber Room was an ornate chamber decorated in custom crafted amber panels backed with gold leaf and mirrors and located in the Catherine Palace in Tsarke Selo near St. Petersburg. It was a gift from Prussia to Russia in the 18th century in order to promote an alliance against Sweden. It was stolen from the palace by Nazi Germany in WWII and moved to Konigsberg Castle in Germany, where some say it was destroyed by either Soviet or RAF bombing raids which destroyed most of that city. Konigberg was annexed by Russia and is called Kaliningrad. today. Many theories exist regarding the fate of the Amber Room and we cover them here, as well as provide additional research on Swedish and Argentine financing of the Nazi war machine, the sinking of the Wilhelm Gusloff with nearly 9,000 refugees onboard (and possibly the Amber Room in crates), and German theft of many priceless pieces of art, some of which were recovered by the "Monuments Men", and others which are still missing.

For a few months back in the summer of 1972, a shaggy beast terrorized the tiny town of Louisiana Missouri, scaring the living bejezuz out of kids and adults and mystifying researchers. He had been spotted at a year previous but forgotten- passed off as a prank, but when he came back, he did so with a vengeance- killing at least one dog, and running one family out of their home. He left genuine three toed footprints, smelled like long dead meat, and had thick black hair covering his face and body. He was witnessed by dozens, He was also accompaniied by very strange lights and objects in the sky, Sometime after 1972, the beast called MoMo (for Missouri Monster) ,like Puff the Magic Dragon, slipped sadly back into his cave. But his legend survives as the monster that time forgot. Moran, Mark & Scheurman, Mark. Weird US Barnes & Noble Books. Place, Marian (1978). Bigfoot All Over the Country. Dodd, Mead. pp. 130–32.

Unsung Heroes of the American Revolution (Pt 1): The Culper Spy Ring, Nathan Hale, and others: Few people leaving the Banana Republic Store at 66th and 3rd st Manhattan, NY, stop to notice the plaque on the outside wall that mentions the spot less than 100 yards away where courageous young Nathan Hale spoke his famous last words "I regret that have but one life to give for my country'- before being hung from a tree by his British captors. And many probably have no idea how and why those words stirred General Washington's heart so profoundly when he heard them. And Lady Gaga probably had no idea that her Rivington Street Rebels derived their name from Washington's greatest spy- James Rivington- or the Beastie Boys, for that matter, when they chose a picture of Manhattan's Rivington Street for the cover of their album ,Paul's Boutique. Or the people leaving the Burger King at the intersection of Gregory Ave. and River Dr. in Passaic NJ who drop trash near the forlorn historical marker located on a small concrete pad right there near a utility pole in the parking lot…the sign that just begins to note the incredible accomplishments of a one-time British Lord, William Alexander –better known , and loved, by his Continental Troops as Lord Sterling. Although it says much more, these few words say it all: "American Patriot, Friend of George Washington". The American Revolution stretched for eight years, from 1775 to 1783, during which time Commander in Chief George Washington had to depend on his network of spies and most trusted soldiers to stay one step ahead of the noose. The AMC series TURN, based on Alexander Rose's book "Washington's Spies", gives a highly fictionalized account of the actions of Washington's greatest spy ring- The Culper Ring. This is the real story of the courageous men and women who risked and sometimes suffered hanging, beginning with Nathan Hale. While Part I focusses mainly on the Culper Spy Ring,, Part Two will provide many rarely told stories about the unsung heroes who risked everything for the cause of liberty, including the slave spy James Armistead Lafayette, Margaret Corbin, Molly Pitcher, Francis Marion , aka The Swamp Fox, and many others.

In this very enjoyable intervoiew with author Jeremy Dauber we discuss his new blockbuster book American Scary , which is a sweeping and entertaining narrative that details the rise and enduring grip of horror on American culture from the taught, terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe to the sharply chilling folms of Jordan Peele. Along the way we talk about Washington Irving, Arthur Machem. Alfred Hitchcock, the movie 'The Blob', Uncle Tom's Cabin, Frankenstein, and much more, but we probably only cover 1% of the contents of this terrific book, which is really a history of horror genre books and movies.

This is the story of the bloody battle for Okinawa in 1945- the last stop before the invasion of the island of Japan, which continued to refuse to surrender even though Emperor Hirohito and the top military elite knew they had no chance of winning.The Japanese dug in with 140,000 army regulars and Okinawan conscripts and prepared for an all out suicide war using civilians as human shields. Over 1000 Kamikaze planes were turned loose on the fleet supporting the Okinawa invasion, and for 81 straight days the American forces on land and sea fought a hellish battle against an unyielding enemy. The Battle of Hacksaw Ridge and the role of conscientiousobjector Desmond Doss is an integral part of this story. Get all of our shows at one website: www.bestof1001stories.com CALLING ALL FANS..

In March of 1692 the little village of Salem Massachusetts became a hotbed of lies, deception, and fear as a group of teenage girls went into convulsions and named selected locals as witches who were possessing them. The judge, the reverends, and most of the townspeople were caught up in the frenzy and fear and those who spoke up faced sure retribution. When the witch hunt started it gained momentum- and was at its worst when a four year old girl whose mother had already been accused was interrogated for two weeks until she finally broke down and admitted she was a witch so she could go to the gallows with her mother.

This episode tells the story-behind-the story regarding the making of the movie that many critics claim is the greatest movie ever made, including the fact that the movie was filmed while WWII was raging and that many of the people involved in the making of the movie had escaped from Nazi-dominated Europe and had yet to loose family members in German concentration camps. The cast, the creators, and the story outlining the importance of Casablanca as vital link for escaping refugees, are brought to light here, along with movie gaffs listed at the end. For appropriate ages studying World War II, this episode combined with a viewing of the movie, would make an excellent prelude to studies of 1941-1943. This episode briefly and simply explains France's occupation by Germany and its political division between the Vichy Government (pro-Nazi) and the French Resistance government under DeGaulle, drawing similarities between this division and that of America during their revolution. Listen to this episode just before watching the movie and you'll enjoy Casablanca 100% more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
