History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2025/08/03

Christians are very familiar with the Mount of Olives. This location on the eastern side of Jerusalem is mentioned many times in the Bible. Events that took place at this location and will happen in the future according to prophecy, have a supernatural tinge to them. Mount Hermon is a place where angels were able to come down to earth and that leaves many people thinking that this is some kind of portal. The Mount of Olives similarly has so many unique occurrences that it lends itself to the

Big Moose Lake is at the head of the Moose River in upstate New York. The lake is remote and beautiful and would probably remain rather obscure if not for the murder of Grace Brown that happened there in 1906. The perpetrator was her lover, Chester Gillette, and now over 110 years later, her spirit still seems to be at unrest probably due to the circumstances of her demise. People who have stayed at the various hotels, Big Moose Inn, Glenmore Inn and Covewood Lodge, claim to see the ghostly figure

The Life and Afterlife of John Lennon Redux

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2025/07/22

Our original Life and Afterlife episode featuring John Lennon was one of the first episodes we produced, all the way back in December of 2014. We were intrigued, not only by his life and death, but by the many ghost stories featuring him that popped up after his death. He has been gone for 44 years and was assassinated when we were both under the age of 10. We didn't realize at the time that we had lost a musical legend in an unexpected way outside of a hotel in New York City near Central Park. This

TGIY Ep. 13 - The Soul

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2025/07/20

What is the soul? Some believe that it is just your conscience and emotions. That it is what makes you YOU. Others believe that there is a spiritual connection to the soul. This is the part of the human that goes on after death. Most humans would like to live forever. We see this conveyed in the drive for transhumanism, which is basically innovating the possibility of putting the soul into a vessel that cannot die. The Bible mentions the word soul hundreds of times and yet the soul is one of the

The Queen Anne Hotel in San Francisco has been a fixture of the Pacific Heights neighborhood for more than 100 years. As the name reveals, this is an old Victorian styled house - a big one! Before it was the boutique hotel it is today, it was a school for girls run by headmistress Mary Lake. Mary loved the place and seems to have returned in the afterlife.

2025/07/15

The Golden Age of Fraternalism lasted from 1870 to 1920 and was a time when fraternal organizations in the US had the largest surge of popularity. These organizations included the Knights of Columbus, the Rotary Club, the Freemasons, the Shriners and the Odd Fellows. The Odd Fellows is one of the oldest orders and while they don't have a large membership today, they were very influential at one time. So influential, that the Catholic Church declared that anyone belonging to the organization was

2025/07/10

Tulsa is a thriving city with a diverse cultural and arts scene, but it wasn't always that way. The city suffered through the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The area was settled by the Creek Nation after they were removed from their ancestral homes in Alabama and Georgia and Tulsa eventually became an oil boomtown. The history here has led to hauntings in many locations and we are joined by Teri French of Tulsa Spirit Tours to explore the history and hauntings of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Moment in Oddity

Andersonville Prison Redux

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2025/07/08

During February 1864, Camp Sumter was opened in Macon County, Georgia. Camp Sumter came to be known as Andersonville, and that is what it is referred to still today. Of all the prisons we have featured on the podcast, Andersonville Prison might just be the worst. This prison was opened to house Union prisoners during the Civil War and to say that it was overcrowded would be an understatement. The amount of prisoners who lost their lives at this prison reaches into the several thousands. And the

People who believe in an all-powerful, universal Creator, also must believe that what is evil was created by that Creator. But is that true? Was evil created?

Washington, D.C. is the home of the American government and every square inch of it oozes history. Shockingly, we haven't covered many haunted locations in the Capitol City, despite its extensive history. So it was definitely time to investigate what else is haunted in this city and we found a neighborhood with multiple ghost stories. Foggy Bottom dates back to the mid-1700s, but it would take nearly 100 years before people would settle here and these were mostly laborers. There were two grand homes

2025/07/01

The Gaelic name for the Cairngorm Mountains of the Scottish Highlands translates to The Red Mountains. The mountains are formed from granite and once had a rosy hue to them before time and the rough conditions battered them into a more grayish coloring. The Cairngorms have always been popular for skiing and hiking and feature high plateaus and rounded summits. In and amongst these mountains was an area once referred to by locals as the Hill of Christie. That hill was the scene of a murder mystery

Dolls are one of the oldest and original toys. Dolls have been used for more than just play though. Sometimes they are used in religious rites, for magic or education. The main characteristic of dolls is the fact that they are made to resemble human beings. Could some dolls carry more than just a resemblance to humans? Could some of them contain a soul or spirit?

2025/06/22

The current state of the world should make it abundantly clear that we are in a spiritual battle. The Bible reveals that we are surrounded by an unseen realm. As discussed in previous episodes, this unseen realm is full of unique entities. One class of these entities are demons. There are many preconceived ideas about what demons are and ancient writings and beliefs have guided some of these conclusions. Do demons possess people or inhabit homes as movies like The Exorcist or Amityville Horror

Locals call it "The Soo." Sault Ste. Marie is the name of two cities that sit across the St. Mary's River from each other. One in Michigan and one in Ontario, Canada. For Michigan, this is its oldest city and was established by the French in 1671. The Upper Peninsula almost seems to be in a different world when it comes to the state of Michigan as it is separated from the mainland of the state by not only water, but also the island of Mackinac. The paranormal is strong here. For 16 years, the

Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia became a part of the rural cemetery movement shortly after it started, becoming the third garden cemetery in America to be founded. This was not long after Mount Hope Cemetery in Maine was dedicated and revealed that the movement was spreading along the East Coast.

Ep. 590 - Lake Lanier

Lake Lanier in Georgia is an extremely popular recreational area. This is a man-made lake that was created when the Buford Dam was built in 1956 and covers 50,000 acres. Many lakes across America have been fashioned in this way without causing hauntings. That's not true for Lake Lanier. What is it that makes this lake so haunted? Was it the destruction of the black community of Oscarville? Could it be the handful of cemeteries that were supposedly relocated before Lake Lanier was filled? On this
