2023/11/14

You've likely heard of the outlaws Bonnie and Clyde, but can you name one thing about them? When Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker met in 1930, they were two young adults from families struggling with poverty in Depression-era Texas. Already committing crimes, Clyde was soon incarcerated for vehicle theft. The two wrote to each other often while he was in prison, with Bonnie even aiding his short-lived escape. When Clyde officially got out of prison in February 1932, the two traveled the country

The Place d'Armes Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana, is regularly listed among the most haunted hotels in the city. A quick internet search will tell you that a school burned down on the property over 200 years ago and the ghosts of the children who died in the fire now roam its halls.

We talk a lot about old buildings on this podcast, but what about old roads? Stagecoach Road in Marshall, Texas has been around since 1850, when it was first used as a pathway for — you guessed it — stagecoaches. Never paved, and surrounded by trees and steep banks, Stagecoach Road feels set apart from much of the world today: wilder, or a window into the past.Allegedly home to many supernatural beings, folks claim any number of them lurk on Stagecoach Road, including but certainly not limited to:

James Chaney and Michael Schwerner spent the first six months of 1964 working together to increase voter registration among Black residents in Mississippi. This was a major goal of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) — which they both worked for — and the Civil Rights Movement as a whole. That year, they organized a voter registration hub at the Mt. Zion United Methodist Church in Philadelphia, Mississippi, but the KKK burnt the church down in response. On June 21, 1964, James, Michael, and Andy

Some stories of hauntings are isolated — old houses, barns, that kind of thing — and some are public: hotels, theme parks, tourists attractions, etc. If someone were to tell you about their own isolated haunting, which perhaps only their family experienced, you would have to base your assessment on how much you trusted that one person. Do you trust them to tell you the truth? And if they are telling you the truth, is that truth objective? Or was something else going on that they mistook for a
