Ep. 561 - Legends of Sea Monsters

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2024/10/24

The most unexplored areas of the earth are its vast waterways. Humans can't breath underwater and thus our explorations of the seas are very limited. We often wonder if stories about mysterious and sometimes ferocious sea creatures are inspired by our imaginings of what could be below the surface of the water or if they are based on true experiences. When deep sea explorations do manage to send back pictures, some very unique and weird creatures are revealed. They help to make some of the legends we

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2024/10/22

The McCormick Ranch is located in a remote part of the Eastern Plains in Stratton, Colorado. Mike McCormick and his father worked the property with the help of homeless men they hired during the 1980s. No one can be sure if these homeless men were actually paid for their work because many of them ended up dead. The ranch was the perfect place for serial killers to do their dastardly deeds as no one would hear the victims scream. Several bodies were found on the property, but not all of them, and

2024/10/17

A bench, hewn from natural wood, that is located in one of our featured cemeteries reads, "Here I sit broken-hearted, thinking about, our dearly departed." And that is why we have cemeteries. To remember our dearly departed family and friends. For those of us that wander these cities of the dead, we make new friends along the way as we stop and read a headstone here and there. A life remembered for a brief moment. We give that to the dead when we stop and care. And in some cemeteries, our efforts do

The Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield was originally meant to help wayward young men get back on the right road. The beautiful Gothic reformatory built of iron and limestone is so picturesque that it was used as a location in the movie, "The Shawshank Redemption." What happened to many of the residents of this building was anything but beautiful, and certainly was not about truly reforming young men. Stories that include torture, beatings and other misdeeds are numerous. And wherever strong

Welcome to our 10th anniversary! On October 1, 2014, the first episode of History Goes Bump dropped. I never imagined that this little hobby I had started up would get to over 8 million downloads, be nominated for awards, get covered in magazines and become another form of income for me. I just hoped my family and friends would listen and enjoy what they heard. But I also hoped that it would become more and get people excited about history and introduce people to some great historical locations. I

Karen Carpenter was one half of the Carpenters, a brother and sister singing duo that sold over 150 million records and they had 17 hits. She was an amazing drummer and singer. Her voice had no equal. But despite her amazing talent, she was a tortured soul that suffered from an eating disorder at a time when such a thing was misunderstood and it eventually took her life. And quite possibly that may be why her spirit is at unrest. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of Karen Carpenter. The

The Arlington Hotel and Spa has so many ghost stories that are connected to it that it would make more sense for us to tell the listeners that it is located in Haunt Springs rather than Hot Springs, Arkansas. The hotel is located in the heart of downtown Hot Springs and is the third version of the hotel to stand and has been here for 100 years. This is a large and glorious historic hotel that hosted the rich, powerful and famous decades ago. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Arlington

Phantasmal Crime Ep. 37 - To Kill A Milton

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2024/08/27

The Novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" was written by Harper Lee in 1960. The story details a black man accused wrongly of the rape of a white woman. It was as though Harper Lee had heard the true story of Robert Milton. Milton was a black man accused of rape by a white teenager in 1920s Mississippi. He was convicted and executed and most people believe he was an innocent man. Perhaps that is why he haunts the courthouse where he was hanged, the Old Tishomingo County Courthouse. Join us for this
