Summary

The Aiken Rhett House is located in Charleston, South Carolina. This is a partially restored house museum that can be toured and was a home that remained in the Aiken family for 142 years. Some of their furnishings remain as do some of their spirits. Our listener Savannah Marchione suggested this location to us and she joins us to share about the history of the house and her own paranormal experiences that she has had while touring the house. The Moment in Oddity features the Wuppertal Schwebebahn and This Month in History features the sinking of the HMS Formidable. Our location was suggested by Savannah Marchione.
