History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind

Leviathan and dragons have already been featured in their own episodes, but they aren’t the only fantastical animals in the Bible. There are several mythic beasts in the Bible, from Behemoth to Ziz Shadai to Re’em, which are creatures so large, they appear to be mountains or block out the sun. Hebrew mythology elaborates on them, but was there more than just myth to these creatures? Did they exist? Do they exist?

James Dean's star burned bright, but fast. He starred in three amazing films, earning two posthumous Academy Award nominations, before his untimely death in 1955 at the age of 24. One can only wonder what heights his performances would've reached with that kind of trajectory. Dean loved speed and that would bring his ultimate demise. Perhaps because he had much still to do, his spirit still seems to be here. Join us for the life and afterlife of James Dean.

On this Stones and Bones, we are focusing specifically on the cemeteries that name themselves Old Burying Ground. These Old Burying Grounds offer a snapshot of what life was like during the Colonial Period in America and they don't use the term "cemetery" in the name because the term wasn't in use yet. Garden cemeteries were a couple hundred years away from being planned, so many of these cities of the dead are haphazard and wild. And they were never considered hallowed, but rather, common. Many of them are filled with notable people from American history. Intro and Outro music "Stones and Bones" was written and produced by History Goes Bump and any use is strictly prohibited.

Water can be dangerous for anyone, even the best swimmers in the world. Water has a cunning to it and when you add currents and rocks and other things, a mild brook can turn into a raging river. An ocean that regularly meets the beachline and recedes can become a tsunami that wipes out a city. Or it can become a great flood that wipes out nearly all of humanity as so many myths have recounted. Water and spirits go hand in hand. We've heard that ghosts can't cross water, but also that spirits can use water for energy since they are mainly electrical. There are many bodies of water, both large and small, throughout the world that have ghost stories connected to them. Join us as we share these haunted deadly waters.

When most of us think of angels, we picture these figures of light, wearing white with enormous wings on their back. Most people believe that they have a personal guardian angel. We also assume that angels come in a couple of varieties: archangels, standard and fat little babies with wings. When an angel falls it becomes a demon, right? But are any of these assumptions biblical? What the Bible says about these supernatural helpers might surprise you. Diane also shares her own personal encounter with a possible angel.

Port Arthur is part of a World Heritage site featuring former Australian jail sites and it is an open air museum. Australia has a harsh history since it was established as a place for Britain to send her convicts. Many of the prisoners from Ireland's Kilmainham Gaol were sent to Australia. Port Arthur's prison became the stop for Britain's worst convicts. Such a harsh place would be a good breeding ground for things that go bump in the night just from its penal history alone. But this area has an even more tragic story. It was the site of a massacre in 1996. No wonder Port Arthur is considered to be one of the most haunted locations in all the world.

Throughout the Bible, we read passages detailing visions and dreams. Dreams and visions are two different things. Visions are described by some as “waking dreams.” I don’t agree with that interpretation. I believe when a prophet or disciple was experiencing a vision, they were literally taken to the place or TIME where the action was occurring. And most of those visions were pretty fantastical!

At the same time that the rural garden movement was launching and thriving in Victorian America, the Magnificent Seven were being established in London. The founding of these seven cemeteries was an effort to establish private cemeteries outside of London to alleviate the overcrowding in the city's churchyards. Small parish churchyards had provided burial space for hundreds of years, but with a burgeoning London population, burial space was shrinking and citizens were becoming worried about the unhealthy conditions. These new suburban cemeteries would be Kensal Green Cemetery, West Norwood Cemetery, Highgate Cemetery, Abney Park Cemetery, Brompton Cemetery, Nunhead Cemetery, and Tower Hamlets Cemetery. These cemeteries wouldn't get their nickname until 1981 and the name came from architectural historian Hugh Meller who was inspired by the 1960 western film "The Magnificent Seven."  Intro and Outro music "Stones and Bones" was written and produced by History Goes Bump and any use is strictly prohibited.

The country of Mexico is rich with legends and superstition. There are stories of the Devil choosing to hang out in a certain alley or a bogeyman that lies in wait for children. Many of the tales told in Mexico mirror tales from around the world that were meant to entice children to behave.

The general consensus of historians and scholars when it comes to myths and legends, is that these are attempts to explain the creation of the world and certain events around them. But what if these were historical accounts of actual events, handed down through oral tradition until they were eventually written down. In many of these myths, there are tales of gods mating with humans and having offspring. That is in the Bible too and we call those offspring The Nephilim.

Benjamin Franklin was a little bit of everything: inventor, diplomat, statesman, author, publisher, a Founding Father and a bad boy. He helped guide America through the growing pains of becoming a constitutional republic guiding its own destiny separate from Great Britain. Philadelphia became his home and the caretaker of the cemetery where he was buried in that city once said, "If Ben Franklin haunts the city and the streets of Philadelphia, he haunts it with his personality and his invention."

Murder is a ghastly matter. At the hands of a loved one, it truly becomes heinous. Most murder victims are murdered by someone they know and a high percentage are killed by either a lover or spouse. This is not a new statistic. History proves that to be a fact. Polstead, Suffolk, England was not a place where one would expect a murder to occur, particularly in 1827. But a crime of passion did take place here and a young woman was left dead. The horrifying murder was nicknamed the "Red Barn Murder" because of the location of the murder. The paranormal takes center stage in the solving of this case as the victim's stepmother was visited by her spirit at night, three times. And then there is the cursed skull of the murderer and his spirit.

The name "Wall Street" immediately brings images of financial markets, the stock exchange, ticker tapes and a giant bronze bull, but Wall Street was originally a wall that formed the northern boundary in the 17th century of what would become New York City. Eventually, the area near this wall would become the heart of America's financial district. Wall Street has inspired books and movies and led to probably hundreds of suicides.

Carlinville is a small town stop along the original Route 66 and is located in Macoupin County, Illinois. The town is home to the "Million Dollar" Courthouse, which seems a bit out of place because it is so massive and cost so much to build. The building began as a small project that ballooned out of control, surrounded by money laundering schemes and scandals. Today, the courthouse is a top tourist attraction and is the final stop on the local ghost tour. Someone who knows a thing or two about that tour and has had her own experience at the courthouse is Courtney Egner. She will be joining us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Carlinville Courthouse.

Many a murder case has been won in court on just circumstantial evidence. This is true of present day cases and it was true back in the 1840s when a man named David Sheely lost his life at the end of a hangman's rope. Many believe he was an innocent man. And perhaps that is why his ghost haunted people for decades after his hanging. Sheely certainly isn't unique. Through the centuries, many wrongly convicted people have been put to death. It's one of the reasons why many people don't support the death penalty. There are many stories of murder victims coming back as spirits to find justice. Is it possible that wrongfully executed people have ghosts that return as well? And what of the truly guilty? Do they not make the transition out of fear? Do their spirits stay as they seek penance? Or were they just so evil, even Hell won't have them?

A few years after Mount Auburn Cemetery was established, the city of Bangor in the state of Maine would follow its lead. Mount Hope Cemetery would become the second rural cemetery established in America. Bangor was named for the oldest city in Wales and is the "Queen City" of Maine. At the time that the cemetery was established, the city was known as the "Lumber Capitol of the World." And while the city was quite successful, its burial grounds were in bad shape. Many were abandoned and unkempt and the ones that were still being used were overcrowded. Bangor's mayor in 1834 even declared that the cemeteries caused a "soul chilling experience." This would change as the city decided to try its hand at this new garden cemetery experiment.

In April 2018, Diane visited Waverly Hills Sanatorium for the first time and several listeners joined her on a tour of the place. The group experienced some unexplained things and Diane has been dying to get back and show me the place. Covid thwarted our plan to investigate privately with a group of listeners in April 2020. So, with an unexpected trip to Louisville in December 2024, we couldn't pass up a chance to do a tour. Gargoyles maintain sentinel duty atop the imposing structure of the sanatorium. Are they keeping ghosts locked inside or protecting the interior from spirits? It's hard to say. Perhaps a little of both as Waverly Hills Sanatorium quite possibly is one of the most haunted locations in America. Join us for this return to the history and hauntings of Waverly Hills Sanatorium!

The Occidental Hotel is a historic hotel in the town of Buffalo, Wyoming. The area was once a thoroughfare for those seeking treasure during the Gold Rush or a new life during Westward Expansion. That made it attractive for outlaws too. The town was the setting for A&E's drama "Longmire." The Occidental Hotel was heavily trafficked for a while and then went bust, almost leading to the wrecking ball. Today, it has been restored to a grand hotel once again, giving guests a chance to go back in time to the old west. And just like so many tales of the Old West, this one has a ghost story or two.

The Black Donnellys were an Irish family looking for a new start across the Atlantic Ocean in the early 1840s. James and Johannah Donnelly had lived in poverty and strife and they hoped that Canada would bring a new start for their little family. So they packed up what little they had, along with their son James, Jr., and migrated to Forest City, Canada from Tipperary, Ireland.  They would find a new life in this new world, but they would not gain it in the right way. They would take what was not theirs and this would lead to strife for their family. It would eventually lead to a lot of death as well. And now spirits roam the former Donnelly homestead.

No one really knows why it is haunted, but it is said to be one of the most haunted locations in China. There is the Huguang Guild Hall, a haunted theater. A home for royalty, the Prince Gong's Mansion, has a couple ghosts stories. The Bell Tower may be connected to a young woman's ultimate sacrifice and now it occasionally rings out her haunting cry.

We originally featured the Island Hotel and Restaurant in Cedar Key, Florida back on Ep. 36 in 2015. In November 2024, we stayed overnight and did a little investigating and while our experiences were subtle, it does seem that paranormal activity does occur here. The building was originally built in 1859 and used as a general store and it was built to last. The building material that was used was Tabby, which is a mixture of oyster shells, sand and limestone, and the structure has lasted 165 years. The most recent hurricanes to hit the area, particularly Hurricane Helene, only caused slight wind damage to the structure. The building has passed through the hands of many owners, some of whom may still remain in the afterlife. People claim there are as many as thirteen ghosts here. The rest of Cedar Key did not fair well during Hurricane Helene, but we still enjoyed the surroundings of what seems to be a very haunted island. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Island Hotel and Cedar Key! The Moment in Oddity features Frog Milk and This Month in History features Puerto Rico discovered by Christopher Columbus.
