Ep. 488 - The Graffiti House
The Graffiti House is owned by the Brandy Station Foundation and served as a hospital during the Civil War. Soldiers left behind their marks on the walls of the second floor, which is the inspiration behind the house's name. These soldiers may have left behind their spirits as well, not only because some of them were injured and died, but because the Battle of Brandy Station took place here. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Graffiti House. The Moment in Oddity features Cave Homes and This Month in History features the birth of Arabella Mansfield. Our location was suggested by Margaret Ward and Mike Streibel. Our sponsor this episode is StoryWorth.

Ep. 487 - Haunted New South Wales
New South Wales in Australia seems to be the most haunted state in the country and for good reason. This was the first place colonized in Australia. Not only is there a long history here that features a country built by convicts, but there is the displacement of the indigenous people who had been here for thousands of years. We've covered some of the more well known haunted locations in New South Wales on previous episodes, so on this one we are going to explore the lesser known haunts. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of New South Wales! The Moment in Oddity features Beatle wigs and This Month in History features the transcontinental railroad.

Ep. 486 - Tinker Swiss Cottage
Tinker Swiss Cottage is a unique and beautiful home that resembles a Swiss cottage. Built by the Tinker family, it would become a symbol for Rockford, Illinois and the family's contributions to Rockford would help the town grow. Most of the family members who had lived at the house, died at the house. Most of the furnishings and artifacts in the house, that is now a museum, belonged to the family. Possibly this is why there are so many claims that many of the family's spirits still reside in the home. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of the Tinker Swiss Cottage! The Moment in Oddity features taxidermied birdsand This Month in History features the birth of Martha Graham.

Phantasmal Crime 16 - Walkup Family Murders
Apr 11 2023
Phantasmal Crime 16 - Walkup Family Murders
The Flagstaff of 1937 was quite different from the sleepy little railroad town it had once been. Emigrants from Boston had passed through this pine forest near the mountains in 1876 and marked their camp with a pine tree stripped of its bark and branches and crowned with an American flag in honor of the country's centennial. Their flag staff became a landmark and eventually the name of the town. By the 1930s, Flagstaff had become a thriving small town thanks to the local university, the Lowell Observatory and tourists coming to see the Grand Canyon. The wealthy side of town was on Leroux Street. And it was here on North Leroux Street that the Walkup family home was located.

Prospect Place in Trinway, Ohio was built by an abolitionist and was a stop on the Underground Railroad. This was a house that not only had to be built twice due to a fire, but it was ahead of its time in regards to amenities.

Join us as we explore the history and haunting of Prospect Place! The Moment in Oddity features Anting and This Month in History features C.H. Gould patenting the stapler in England.
