Ep 519Ep. 519 - Franklin Castle

Cleveland's Franklin Castle is not really a castle, but is actually a glorious Victorian mansion named for the street upon which it sits. The former Tiedemann residence is cloaked in rumors and innuendo that has lead to it famously being known as "The Most Haunted House in Ohio." Many people have passed through the doors here from bankers to smugglers to members of the German socialist party, mediums, investigators and priests. Tours and overnight stays are hosted and many guests claim that the moniker of "most haunted" is appropriate. Getting to the truth about this property isn't easy. Join us for the history and hauntings of Franklin Castle! The Moment in Oddity features The Pando Tree of Utah and This Month in History features the premier of Wheel of Fortune.

Ep 518Ep. 518 - Haunted Poland

Like so many countries in Europe, Poland has been witness to centuries of history from medieval times, through World Wars, communism, democracy and its utter erasure from existence.

Phantasmal Crime 32 - The Will Harris 1906 Massacre

Asheville is a smaller city in North Carolina where I had the pleasure of experiencing one of my favorite ghost tours. While on that tour, I heard about a mass shooting involving a man named Will Harris. This happened many years ago and the violence and the residue of that event seems to have left an energy that still traverses the same area where the crimes took place to this day.

Ep 515Ep. 515 - Cleveland Grays Armory

Cleveland sits on the opposite side of Lake Erie from Canada. While this proximity is not worrisome to us today, there was a time when Cleveland was worried that Canadians might invade their city.

BONUS: Faceless Ghosts

bonus

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! Here is a peek into our bonus material over at Patreon. There is probably nothing more terrifying than a ghost without a face. In Japan, anything that is paranormal or supernatural is called Yokai. One of these Yokai is a Noppera-Bo, which is a faceless ghost. Another name for these apparitions is gesichtslosgeist. These are entities who have no identity. They don't know who they are, seeming to have a form of spiritual amnesia. Join us as we share stories of faceless ghosts!

Phantasmal Crime 30 - 1909 Savannah Axe Murders

bonus

A man was on a simple afternoon stroll on December 9, 1909 in his Savannah, Georgia neighborhood when he heard moaning coming from 401 W. Perry Street. What he found inside the small wooden house would horrify the city. One woman lay dying and two more were already dead. An axe had been used and the murders were brutal. As to who committed the crime, that remains a mystery, although the husband of one of the women was convicted and served some time in prison before being pardoned. Perhaps that is why the location where the murders happened has stories of hauntings.

The Seminoles fought with settlers, the titans of industry made this their playground and this is the Venice of America with 165 miles of scenic inland waterways. Water is a key conduit for paranormal activity. In October, we met up with our listeners Amanda and Charlotte and had some dinner and then headed off for a ghost tour.

Legend of the Faeries Redux

bonus

A belief in Faeries has existed for centuries and stretches all around the world. Early stories of faeries originate in medieval Western Europe and this is where we get the term "Fairy Tales." Stories of faeries traveled with the colonists to America and are still strong in Appalachian and Ozark lore. There are many theories as to what faeries may be and because of this, they take many forms in folklore. And while most people believe that faeries are not real, the belief in these creatures is very real. And there are tales that go beyond superstition and leave open the possibility that faeries may just exist. Join us as we explore the folklore about these fascinating beings and examine some of the tales that are told about them!

Phantasmal Crime 28 - Finding the Bodies

bonus

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.

Not too far from Malabar Farm State Park in Ohio sits Pleasant Valley Cemetery. One marble grave marker stands a bit higher than the rest of the headstones around it and across the top is embossed the family name Rose. This marks the final resting place of three members of the Rose family who all died within a thirty day time frame. The cause of death was not some hideous plague that swept through town. The family was murdered. That revelation is horrific enough, but what makes this story truly chilling is that they were murdered by one of their own.

Memphis' Adams Avenue is where the rich built their homes during the Victorian era. Today, it is referred to as the Victorian Village, but in its heyday, this was Millionaire's Row. These gorgeous homes not only represent the opulent lifestyle of the rich Victorian times, they hold history and ghosts. Memphis has an amazingly rich history and culture that is both positive and dark and that is the case with the spirits here too. Some are benevolent, while others are hostile. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Memphis' Victorian Village! The Moment in Oddity features the Original Mechanical Doll and This Month in History features the birth of Raoul Wallenberg.

Ep 497Ep. 497 - New Zealand's Vulcan Hotel

There are two things that bring people to St Bathans in New Zealand: gold and fossils. The St Bathans fauna bears dozens of different kinds of fossils. The small town itself was once a center of the Otago Gold Rush and one of the leftover locations from that time is the Vulcan Hotel. A painted lady might have lost her life at the hotel and today, people claim her spirit haunts one of the rooms there. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Vulcan Hotel. The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Karen Miller and features Le Passage du Gois and This Month in History features the sinking of SS Andrea Doria.
