TGIY Ep. 18 - The Great Disappearing

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2025/09/28

The Rapture. It’s a pretty weird event. In the blink of an eye, millions – perhaps billions - of people just disappear. In the Christian religion, the Rapture is an event that is believed will take place during the end times and before the Second Coming of Yeshua when He returns to the Earth in judgement. But is the Rapture taught in the Bible? Along with the Rapture, many Christian denominations teach that there will be a 7-year Tribulation before Christ makes his Second Coming to Earth. And again

Ep. 605 - The Life and Afterlife of Liberace

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2025/09/25

Pianist and singer Liberace was one-of-a-kind with big dimples, pompadour hair, huge rings on his fingers and expensive and flamboyant suits and capes. No one had his flair or style and he had a great dynamic with his audience, proclaiming often that he agreed with Mae West when she said, "Too much of a good thing, is wonderful." He was once the highest paid entertainer in the world. When one thinks of Liberace, the first thing that comes to mind are the costumes. Oh, those costumes! He grew up at a

Phantasmal Crime Ep. 49 - America's Original Outlaws

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2025/09/23

Many of us have some family ancestry that has left us with skeletons in our closets? For Lindsay, that family ancestry included the Doan Gang. The Doan Gang was no small entity. There were at least 60 members of this gang and many of them were from the Doan family, hence the gang's name. Some went to prison, some escaped and some were executed. Despite being Quakers, they took part in a variety of crimes, including espionage during the American Revolution. This made them an enemy of America. There

Ep. 604 - The Elms Hotel

2025/09/18

Thirty minutes north of Kansas City is Excelsior Springs, Missouri. This town was formed around natural springs that attracted Native American populations for centuries. Europeans eventually discovered them, settled here and marketed the waters for what they believed were their curative effects. The Elms Hotel was one of several lodgings offered in the city. The location burned down twice before this third version that stands today was built. There have been deaths here and that has led to

Gunter and Emily Morgan Hotels Redux

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2025/09/16

The city of San Antonio is beautiful and its River Walk is famous. The historic Gunter Hotel sits along that River Walk. That spot has hosted a hotel for nearly 190 years. The Gunter itself was built in 1909 and stands 11 stories. The hotel provides high end accommodations and amenities, one of which is an old time barber shop. There is more than meets the eye at the Gunter Hotel though. The history here includes a horrific murder mystery and this has led many to believe that the hotel is haunted

TGIY Ep. 17 - Noah's Ark

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2025/09/14

Every culture claims among its earliest stories, the tale of a great flood that wipes out humanity. The tale of a great flood seems to have first been written down in the Epic of Gilgamesh. As is the case with myths and legends, when multiple cultures share stories, it lends credence to the idea that there is truth to the tale. Such is the case with Noah’s Flood and the ark he built to survive that cataclysm. There are scholars who believe that this was not the original story. Whether this story

Ep. 603 - Margam Castle

2025/09/11

The visually stunning Margam Castle is located in Margam, Wales and while the 269,000 square foot structure resembles a castle, it really is technically just a country house. A very large country house. The reason it is referred to as a castle though is because it was made to look like a castle complete with an octagonal tower, turrets and battlements. While this was never a fortification, there are hill forts that dot the landscape, as do burial cairns. And what really makes this site remarkable is

2025/09/09

Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta is a magical place. This is not only a garden of the dead, but a garden for the living. For 175 years, Oakland has been a burial place for the deceased of Atlanta and while it isn't officially an arboretum, there are dozens of varieties of trees and hundreds of flowers. Unique monuments, memorials and mausoleums dot the landscape that has been carved out with red brick walkways. There are many unique stories here involving tragedy, triumph, murder and love. Oakland

Ep. 602 - Haunted Crystal River

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2025/09/04

The town of Crystal River in Florida is the home of the manatee. This is where they can be found in the winter, congregating in the natural springs found in the area. Those springs attracted indigenous people as well and some of them left behind their mounds. These not only have cultural and historic interest, but they have paranormal activity as well, which we discovered for ourselves. There are other locations with ghost stories too, one which also has a connection to Elvis Presley and his film

Landers Theater and Haunted Springfield Redux

2025/09/02

Springfield, Missouri will soon be celebrating its 200th anniversary. We've covered the haunted Pythian Castle that is here and back in 2015, we also featured the Landers Theater. This is a typical theater, meaning it has ghosts. There's just something about the emotions that are displayed on the stage and evoked in the audience that causes unexplained activity. Landers has stood for decades and seen much history. Famous performers took to the stage, including Lillian Russell and Lon Chaney. When

TGIY Ep. 16 - Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2025/08/31

Horses are magnificent and beautiful creatures and, in the Bible, they have an important place. For the Israelites, these were mainly work animals. For YHWH, this is the animal that Christ will return upon to defeat His enemies. Four horses and the creatures that ride them, figure heavily into the prophetic images and statements made in the Book of Revelation. We know them commonly as the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” Who exactly are these entities and what do they mean for mankind? Main theme:

Ep. 601 - Haunted Pretoria

2025/08/28

Our listener Celia hails from South Africa and she wrote us about an experience she had at a historic museum located in the capital city of Pretoria. It's an awesome ghost story and we wondered if there were other haunted locations in Pretoria and sure enough, we found some! South Africa has only come up on the podcast one other time in all these years, so it was definitely time to revisit this country that has a history marked with turmoil because of apartheid and the ensuing massacres and

Phantasmal Crime Ep. 48 - The Serial Killer Amelia Dyer

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2025/08/26

The Victorian Era in Britain was a tough time for women, particularly if they were single mothers. Desperate women would find themselves pregnant after giving themselves to a man hoping he would take care of them. Or many times they would fall into sex work and end up pregnant. The fix of an opium laden tincture to cause a miscarriage was incredibly dangerous, so there were not many options and most didn't have the means to care for a child. But they also didn't have time to care for their child

Ep. 600 - Magick vs. the Nazis

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2025/08/21

The plan was named Operation Cone of Power. Sounds militaristic. Possibly some kind of intelligence operation. Certainly had to be official. It was the summer of 1940 and Britain was bracing itself for a full-on invasion from German forces. A team of witches came together, lead by the Father of Witchcraft, Gerald Gardner, and worked their magick to push back against the Nazis. And as history documented, the Nazis never were able to invade Britain. Some may say it was the Luftwaffe's failure to

Ben Lomond Hotel Redux

2025/08/19

The Ben Lomond Hotel is now known as the Bigelow Hotel and Residences and is located in the historic downtown of Ogden, Utah. When we did our original episode in 2016, this was one of the last three “Grand Hotels” in Utah that still operated as a hotel. That ended in 2019 when the building was reopened as apartments. Built in the latter part of the Victorian Era, the hotel has changed over time. Ogden was a major railroad junction and brought people from all over. And while a hotel that is now

TGIY Ep. 15 - Tower of Babel

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2025/08/17

The Tower of Babel was built after Noah’s Great Flood. Yahweh had told Noah and his sons to go out and multiply on the Earth and they did have children and multiply, but they disobeyed when it came to dispersing. They stayed in one area and shared one language and they decided to build themselves a city with a great tower to the heavens. What exactly was this tower and why did Yahweh decide to spread many languages and confuse their efforts? What were these men creating? Clearly, this stone tower

2025/08/14

Oswego, New York was a bustling port in the 1800s, but long before that, there was Fort Ontario. The Fort represents over 260 years of history from its beginnings as an earthworks fort to a brick and mortar one and it has had a significant role in several conflicts. The structure was destroyed and rebuilt four times. There was a time that it was a huge general hospital as well as a safe haven for refugee Jews fleeing Europe during World War II. Today, the Fort is a living museum with costumed guides

Mausoleums are the stars of cemeteries, but if there is anything that ranks closely with mausoleums as being eye catching in a cemetery, it is the obelisk. And very close to that are the columns. There is a lot of symbolism behind them, and history. Join us on this Stones and Bones for, of obelisks and columns!

The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa is an iconic landmark in Downtown Denver. The hotel has stood for over 130 years and was one of the first atrium-style hotels ever built and was fire-proof. She was affectionately nicknamed The Grand Dame of Denver and she has stood as a sentinel in the downtown area, watching over the history that has unfolded here. The Brown hosted celebrities, Molly Brown, several Presidents and even the Beatles. And rumors claim that she hosts spirits as well. Several of them. Join

St. James Hotel Redux

History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind ·

2025/08/05

The Old West in America is filled with stories about cowboys and Native Americans and outlaws and lawmen. This was a time when a man could die in the streets with his boots on or at the poker table holding the Dead Man's Hand: a pair of aces and a pair of eights, all black. Cimarron, New Mexico was a prominent place in the Old West and the St. James Hotel was built there in 1872. Cimarron was a wild town that played host to a veritable who's who of old west gunmen, lawmen, gangs and famous
