Two old friends discuss local legends starting with the ones they know from their home state. Chaos ensues. Sound issues are dealt with. A learning curve occurs. Legendary people, places, and random facts about Indiana abound here. We like telling each other stories and hope you will like them too!
Send us a textKrys tells of the Gettysburg Orphanage. This was started due to a picture of a family of a perished soldier in the area. Sergeant Amos Hurniston was the soldier that started this by dying with the picture of his fam. The orphanage was built to house the orphans of Union soldiers. While this began as a noble idea, this soon turned into something more sinister. Yeah, not good and a breeding ground for ghosts. Tori takes us to another battlefield, Yorktown. Seemed like it was time for Revolutionary War battlefields. This was the most well known as the last land battle of the Revolutionary War. This was a siege that finally gave the US its independence. Fun fact, The World Turned Upside Down is an actual British drinking song and not just a Hamilton reference. You want ghosts, they got ghosts.

Send us a textTori leads off with the Capuchin Crypt in Rome. The monks used the bones to make works of art throughout the Crypt and the chapels therein. The next one was the Palermo Capuchin Crypt. This one is even creepier because the whole place is full of mummies. You heard me right, mummies. This was apparently a very big status symbol to be a mummy interred in the crypt. Guess what y'all, there are ghosts and they like hanging out with prettiest mummy in the world. Krys tells us of the Witches Village. This site has striking parallels with Salem in the States. This was yet another story about demonizing women. This strife ended up pitting villagers against their neighbors. Triora stands to this day and they embrace history both bad and good. Tori comes back with the island of Poveglia. Now you want ghosts, all of these places are how you get ghosts. ‘Nough said…Our Sources: romesite.com, palermocatacombs.com, walksofitaly.com, atlasobscura.com, littlehouseofhorrors.com, sightseeing-experience.com, italy-trails.com, agriturismolegrandole.com, thegrandwinetour.com, beautifulliguria.comOur theme music: Camille Saint-Saëns: Danse Macabre - Busy Strings by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License.Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/trendylobotomypodcast Find us at FB/Instagram @TrendyLobotomyPod as well as our blog trendylobotomypodcast.blogspot.com Support the show

Many huge names frequented the island and there are stories that abound of their time in both the past and present of the island. You want ghosts? Tori shows up to the party armed with three different cemeteries. The Granary Burying Ground, Nashville City Cemetery, and Copp's Hill Burying Grounds. The former and later of those three are both in Boston and have direct ties to the Revolutionary Wars. Nashville City Cemetery was a ground breaking cemetery that was not segregated.

Send us a textKrysti leads off with the Curran Theater in San Francisco. This was a hotbed of crime as well as the theater arts. From murder to catching criminals in front of the building, guess what, you want ghosts, that's how you get ghosts. Tori comes in second with terrible pronunciation and Dragholm Castle in Zealand Denmark. This castle survived several iterations and has a shady past. It's been known to have over 100 ghosts. Several tropes show up in this story, including a lady in white, a gray lady, a mad squire, and prisoner bishop. Tori keeps it going with the Skirrid Inn in Wales, which at being over 900 years o;d has seen it's share of history and ghosts.

Send us a textGuess what kids?! Your favorite weird ass Hoosier girls are back in your ears. This week we hit up California for our stories. Krys leads off with the Sutro Baths. These were mainstays of San Francisco for years before shockingly taken out by a mysterious fire. Sutro had a tendency to accumulate relics from around the world, sounds like a great idea right? Oh, can someone figure out what land this was built on? Cliff House was next up and that was another problem waiting to happen. And it did. Tori covers the Queen Mary that has been a popular Long Beach attraction at this point. This ship saw it's share of deaths and has ghost tours to this day. This luxury liner made 1001 trips before coming to port for the last time. The Grey Ghost had a more interesting past than expected. Krys rounds the episode off with the San Francisco City Hall. An earthquake managed to take that sucker out. Also proves that when you build on old cemetery, bad things may happen.

Tori starts off the latest megasode with several movie references and the Old Joliet Prison. Yet another prison with deplorable conditions, ghosts, and movie scenes. Also, they buried limbs in the cemetery there. Krysti comes around with Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Add in a vampire, a battle site, a horny gravesite, and you want ghosts? Because that's how you get ghosts. Chuck comes round with a Central American cryptid, the mysterious Aluxes, or the little people of Mexico. These Mayan legends have stuck around to this day. Malcolm brings us to Scotland and the Culloden Battlefield. The last stand of the Jacobites against the British Duke of Cumberlands troops. A series of poor tactical choices and being outgunned made this the site of an absolute massacre. There seems to be an echo of this battle that ripples through every year on the anniversary.

Krys leads off with the tale of Versailles and it's royal history. This palace is one of the most extravagant palaces on the face of the planet. Throughout the upheaval of the French Revolution this was a physical example of the divide between haves and have nots. Time slips, ghosts, and perhaps even the Queen herself visits from beyond the brave. Some of the furniture still there is some of the originals as well. You want ghosts? Tori picked another haunted castle, this time in the UK, Chillingham Castle. This 12th century monastery turned castle is one of the most haunted castles in the world. Being on the border between Scotland and England, this castle has actually seen battle. Add in some torture, executions, and other violent death, the sheer amount of ghosts is impressive. The castle is now an inn, would you want to to stay there with some of the previous denizens?

Tori leads off with Pike Place Market in Seattle. This is apparently one of the most haunted spots on the West Coast. The oldest continuously open market in the US, the sheer size of this market shocked Tori. This market has insane amounts of social implications as well. And ghosts, all the ghosts. Krys is back in Paris for a disturbing true crime tale. Marcel Petiot was a sick, sick man that killed all over France. This man was really, really good at suckering the cops as well.

Krysti leads off with the Opera Garnier Paris and its illustrious history. This opera house spurred rumors of a phantom, has an underground lake, and is all sorts of fancy to boot. This historical building fields 400+ performances per year and was built to be a safe place for the elite to see performances without coming under attack. This was the opera house that spurred the Phantom of the Opera novel. Krys also covers the Rue de Chantres and its gruesome story. Tori goes back to her roots and covers, you guessed it, a cemetery. Arlington National Cemetery in Fort Myer, VA has long been a draw when you visit Washington D.C. The history of this cemetery tells us that the owners of the grounds before it became the cemetery backed the wrong team. This cemetery has one of the most stringent requirements for burial out of all the national cemeteries. So. Many. Stories.

Krysti starts us off with the story of Tippecanoe Place in South Bend, IN. This residence was built by the Studebakers and was one of the fanciest homes in the city at the time. Cue some poor money handling and the property was then sent through a series of owners till it's current iteration as a restaurant today. And what have we learned about old houses that have changed hands many times? You want ghosts…you know the rest. Tori tells a story she has been hinting about for months at this point, The Battle of Sharpsburg, otherwise known as Antietam. This was the single most bloody one day battle of the Civil War and opened the door for Lincoln to enact the Emancipation Proclamation. This battle was absolutely brutal and was technically a draw but it was the battle that sent Gen Robert E Lee hightailing it back down South. Needless to say, the land remembers and seems to make sure that we do too. And of course Tori had to mention the cemetery. Also, the Confederates learned the lesson of not leaving battle plans just lying around.Our Sources: Publichistory.iupui.edu, Tippe.com, Indianahauntedhouses.com, Enterprise.com, Michaelkleen.com, battlefields.org, history.com, nps.gov, militaryghosts.com, ghoststory.co.uk, fhwa.dot.govOur theme music: “Danse Macabre - Busy Strings" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/trendylobotomypodcast Find us at FB/Instagram @TrendyLobotomyPod and at Twitter @TrendyPod as well as our blog trendylobotomypodcast.blogspot.com Support the show
Happy Season 3 lovies! We are back to you with more stories and some new voices! Matthew Barron visits us and hangs for an episode. Matthew is a local author and check out our Insta for a pic of his books! Tori goes first and tells of yet another cemetery, Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans. This cemetery had a prior incarnation as a horse racing track. This is one of the only places in the city that is actually high ground. Matthew tells us of the local legend and tv personality, Sammy Terry! This legendary horror host is the longest running horror host in the US. Those of us Gen X and younger have childhood memories of him but he continues to delight viewers to this day. We drop into the world of tropes and why antiheroes/monsters are what most of us identify/ sympathize with. Krys continues on smartly with the Barbee Hotel. Cue more gangster cameos from our fair state, this hotel had a long history with those who had shady business practices. And of course there is a murder, many ghost stories, and some unsolved crimes to round out this hotel. Tori finishes up with Locust Grove State Historical Site and White Oak Flats Cemetery in Gatlinburg(that's for you Alan).Our Sources: Atlasobscura.com, gonola.com, nola.com, onlyinyourstate.com, ghostcitytours.com, roadtrippers.com, wate.com, southernghoststories.net, usghostadventures.com, lastateparks.com, louisianatravel.com, Indianahauntedhouses.com, Prezi.com, Goshennews.com, Dead Files Season 4 Episode 13 IntoleranceOur theme music: “Danse Macabre - Busy Strings" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/trendylobotomypodcast Find us at FB/Instagram @TrendyLobotomyPod and at Twitter @TrendyPod as well as our blog trendylobotomypodcast.blogspot.com Support the show
Krys drives home the holiday spirit with another beastie that was used to scare children into behaving before Santa Claus was here. Gotta love the boogeymen that were used to keep people in line. Breakout the sage and costumes to get rid of the holiday boogeymen. The holdout for these mostly forgotten spooks are some of these festivals that stick around to this day. Tori comes with a bit of a different story this year and covers a broad topic, cursed movies. Leading off first we have Superman and it's line of broken actors and assorted folks involved in the franchise over the years. Next up Poltergeist, I figured y'all were waiting for that. Add in some Apocalypse Now, The Omen, Rosemary's Baby, The Crow, The Exorcist, The Passion of the Christ and as a bonus, Roar. Some fun random facts for you!

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode mentions suicides, death, and a mass shooting.Tori leads off with some fun with Horror in the Heartland's odd old newspaper blurbs. Kevin McQueen gives us an interesting obituaries to have fun with, people are weird and do stupid shit. Krysti takes us to Tasmania and Port Arthur. Used as a penal colony, since the US was out of reach for the Brits, this was the scene of harsh punishments for the prisoners. This was also the site of a horrible mass shooting. This was one of the reasons that Australia no longer has issues with guns, wonder why? This location also seems to host a plethora of ghosts that stuck around and remind the folks of the first use of the land.

The story of the Manresa Castle has all the great backstory a hotel should. Priests, old money family, a curse or two, add in some vacationing nuns and we have all the energy we need to make this a haunted hotel. This beautiful hotel is also attached to the small family graveyard. Krysti picked a good story! Tori went for two lighthouses on opposite shores in the US. Terrible Tilly right off the coast of Astoria, OR is Tori's next story. This piece of rock on the coast was will and a tough way of making a living. There is spooky shit there as well.

Tori leads off with Tennessee State Prison and it's lovely history. Like most old prisons, this was a place of punishment, not rehabilitation, and brutal as hell. This jail has been partially blown up, held hostage, rioted, and to finish it out a class action lawsuit. The last inmate left in 1992 and the place has been in several movies including The Green Mile. In 2020 a tornado destroyed most of the complex but spooky shit abounded. Krys covers Hotel Jerome in Aspen, CO. The president of Macy's Department Store, Jerome Wheeler, showed up in Aspen in the 1880s and poured money into several businesses including the Hotel Jerome. This hotel was supposed to rival the Ritz in Paris. This hotel changed hands many times and continued to house guests till this day, some of which will never leave. Tori comes back with Kirkwin, WY, a bona fide ghost town. Sounded like Tori was tired while telling this story. Also Schitzel? Schnitzel?

Krys skips the spooky stuff this year but makes Tori squee with the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death. These were teaching tools made by Frances Glessner Lee to teach forensics. This lady was the shit and the Patron Saint of Policemen or the Mother of Forensics. The Nutshells debuted in 1943 and were saved by a former student. These helped investigators get it right for once. Tori tells the story of the rope swing and how we have a weird tie to a serial killer. Fox Hollow Farm and the tale of Herb Baumeister, the suspected I-70 killer. This man picked up gay men in Indianapolis and brought them to our next of the woods in Carmel. This house confused the fuck out of me, but it had a pool in the basement. He was caught due to his becoming scared of his behavior and agreeing to a search of the property. 11 sets of remains were identified and found on the property. Unfortunately Herb escaped and killed himself in Ontario. FYI, you want ghosts…the house is haunted. Krys continues with the Gruenwald Historic House in Anderson, IN. This living history museum is on a Delaware Tribal Burial Ground. Not shockingly enough, this place is haunted. #youwantsghostsOur Sources: Alanehunter.com, Americanart.si.edu, Atlasobscura.com, Deathindiorama.com, indystar.com, murderpedia.com, the-line-up.com, zillow.com, Thisisindiana.angelfire.com, Encyclopedia of Haunted Central Indiana, Thegruenewaldhouse.com, Heraldbulletin.com, Onlyinyourstate.com, Bestonlinepsychics.netOur theme music: “Danse Macabre - Busy Strings" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/trendylobotomypodcast Find us at FB/Instagram @TrendyLobotomyPod and at Twitter @TrendyPod as well as our blog trendylobotomypodcast.blogspot.com Support the show
Tori gives us the story of the Winchester Mystery House. Sarah Winchester was a remarkable woman in her own right and she lived life the way she wanted and be damned to the naysayers. So many stories about the reason for her incessant building but the truth of the matter is unknown to this day. Sarah took that secret to her grave. Krysti takes up back to the Midwest from San Jose to Madison WI. Frank Lloyd Wright is one of the world's most well known architects. What most folks don't know is the sheer amount and tragedy that happened when he settled in Wisconsin. Murder, mayhem, fires, and a school, this story has it all!

Because that's how you get ghosts…Add in a spooky crossroads, some dumb criminals, and infanticide, you get King's tavern. Tori takes us to Missouri and to the Zombie Road. Enter into a land of tropes, shitloads of paranormal phenomenon, maybe, just maybe…Bigfoot? Dare the shadow squirrels and flying tombstones. Krys comes back with Mt. Nebo Cemetery in Alabama. This cemetery is home to some unusual headstones and other interesting stories from the past. Tori rounds us out with a good ole monster, the Wendigo.

—-------------------NO CHICKENS WERE HARMED IN THIS EPISODE—----------------------------Our thanks to Julie Gearing for her rendition of The Raven for our spooky episode! Tori leads off with the tale of Frankenstein Castle and some of the many myths that have been attached to the spot. This castle may have been some of Mary Shelley's inspiration for the tale of the monster but it looks like some of this may have been pure speculation. Add in some magnetic weirdness and a dragon, you got ghost stories! Krys covers one of the most beloved and puzzling of classic horror writers, Edgar Allen Poe! Krys tells us of his interesting upbringing and even more interesting ways of making money to try to stay at school. Good old Edgar did some interesting things to get discharged from the army as well. His love life was more of a train wreck as well. The man was a bit more complicated than at first glance as well. Krys goes into the mystery of his death as well. Malcom is with us and regales us with the tale of Goodie Hanna Hovey AKA Hanna Cranna. This is where the chicken is involved as well. He coins the phrase “Karen Curse” with the tale of this witch.

Okay, so the sound gremlins were back this episode, our bad. This week was rough for both of us. Krys covers Thomas Edison's Spirit Phone. Krysti explains why inventors are weird and that the brilliant ones are even weirder. Thomas Edison brings spiritualism into the fray but it sounds more like aliens/Midichlorians to us.

Tori leads off with the story of an absolutely horrible human being and her house in New Orleans. Delphine LaLaurie's story is absolutely disgusting and her mansion that sits at 1140 Royal Street seems to keep reliving the horror show that was her life in that house. Yeah, you guessed it folks…#youwantghosts? Krys comes back with the Hotel Alex Johnson in Rapid City South Dakota. This hotel apparently doesn't charge late check out to the ghosts.

Spooky Season is here! Krys takes us to the Old West to lead off and does Bodie, CA. This ghost town is now a museum that is in a state of arrested decay. This town was one of the many boom towns that was prompted by what? Gold of course. Sticking to the Old West Tori tells us of the tale of the El Dorado Canyon Hell Dogs in Nevada. Once again gold sent in many people into a place where lawlessness may have created the Hell Dogs. Back to Krys and the Ceely Rose House in Lucas Ohio. Some true crime and ghostly things abound. Back to Tori and a taste of things to come with Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. Y'all know the story and have seen the many iterations of this tale and who may reside in this creepy place.

Krys is back! Tori gets a head start on spooky season by way of a cemetery in Salem! Howard Street Cemetery in Salem has a place in the Salem Witch Trials and was the site of the pressing death of Giles Corey. Krys tells the story of the Vulcan Hotel in New Zealand. This mining town is now the home to 10 living souls but some of the dead have stayed. Rosie, curling, a post office, and the school all play parts in this story. Tori rounds us off with the Crumlin Road Gaol in Belfast. This was known as “Europe's Alcatraz” but seems to have had more successful escapes than it's US cousin.

Krys regales us with the tale of the White River Light in Whitehall Michigan. This lighthouse is currently a maritime museum and not currently in service as a lighthouse. William Robinson was the keeper of the lighthouse and stayed with his family at the location. William was the lighthouse keeper until two weeks before his death when the keeper position was given to his grandson. Shipwrecks were found within the area and William seems to still be in residence at the lighthouse. It also lies within the Michigan Triangle, coincidence? I think not…Tori rounds it out with the tale of Mary King's Close in Edinborough Scotland. This little slice of history is in the middle of Old Town Ediborough and gives insight into the lives of folks from 1645 to 1902 when the last tenant left. Tours still run to this day and has some extra visitors that make their presence know to this day.

Tori starts off with a paranormal hotspot, the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. This is supposedly the most haunted place in the US. Unfortunately like a good majority of psychiatric hospitals, the institution was plagued with tragedies and abuse allegations. The amount of hauntings due to this history is astounding. Krysti tells us about why Hoosiers are weird and some odd goings on to settle a county seat. Leavenworth Indiana was the county seat and was moved by force into English Indiana. County records and county officials were taken by force to the new county seat of English. Krys dipped into Angola, Indiana and its ghosts just for Tori.

Back after a bit of a break Krys leads off strong with tales of McKinney Texas and some of it's haunted hot spots. Starting with Buckner Cemetery aka O'Brien Cemetery, this place of burial was the spot of public executions and as well as a marketplace during said executions. The ghost of an indigenous person is said to haunt the spot. Next up the Celt Irish Pub and it's famous poker playing outlaw Jesse James. This building has been through different stages and has some permanent residents. Chestnut Square Historic Village is our last stop in McKinney and this shows off the way of life from 1854-1920. This place has some of Krys's favorite ghosts, kid ghosts. Tori comes in second with the tale of Deadwood, South Dakota. This wild west frontier town is in an area that proves once again, white people suck. This town was home to such notable figures such as Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Seth Bullock, and Al Swearengen. These folks seem to be staying around for much longer than mortal years.

Tori heads back to Cleveland again for LakeView Cemetery on 12316 Euclid Ave. This privately owned cemetery was founded in 1869 and has several famous residents. Some of the folks interred here are James A. Garfield, John D Rockafeller, and the untouchable himself Eliot Ness. This is also the home to the Hauserot Angel statue. This statue is straight out of Doctor Who, literally a weeping angel. This boneyard is apparently the site of an epic chess game with tombstones as well. Cue the next LakeView Cemetery in Seattle Washington. This boneyard is the resting place of the epic Bruce and Brandon Lee, as well as the Nisei Monument, and the only Confederate Soldiers monument in the PNW. This is also the resting place of Princess Angeline a.k.a. Kikisoblu who was the daughter of Chief Sealth and her disappearing/ reappearing ghost. Krysti covers Liberty Hall in Frankfort, Kentucky. This was the home of Kentucky senator John Brown in 1801. Add in a vanishing opera singer, a dead soldier from the War of 1812, and a trope worthy Gray Lady. The soldier is a pervy ghost and the Gray Lady seems to be attributed to Margarette Varick. This historic house has ghost tours to this day, so if ever you find yourself in Frankfort, give them a look see.

Krysti starts off with another Central State Hospital but this one is in Kentucky. This is a current psychiatric hospital still in operation in Anchorage Kentucky. This hospital soon became plagued with the unfortunate problems that seem to haunt all old psych hospitals, overcrowding, abuse, and inhumane conditions. Cue some patient deaths, abuse investigations, and some shady “treatment” options and eventually the hospital had to change it's ways, somewhat… Eventually this hospital had to change and the original buildings were demolished. This land became E.P. “Tom” Sawyer State Park. Apparently some of the former patients remain on these grounds to this day. From a unburied “sauerkraut” cave to small children spirits saying “mommy” this is still a spooky place to visit. Tori heads north from there to Cleveland Ohio and the Hans Tiedemann House a.k.a Franklin Castle. As one of the “most haunted places in America” this locale manages to end up on most haunted house lists out there. This home to the Tiedemann family saw loads of death within the first five years of it being built. After several deaths Hans sold his Victorian “castle” to the German Socialist Party in 1913. Cue some spy stories, Nazi tunnels, and bootleg booze, this was owned by the German Socialist Party until James Romano bought it in 1968. This family stayed for only 6 years before the “ghosts” drove them off. Add in fires, secret tunnels, human remains, and mysterious fires this place became notorious in the Midwest.

Tori leads off this week's episode with the Ahwahnee Hotel. Taking it back to Yosemite State Park with the iconic Ahwahnee Hotel, this locale is a prime example of the NPS Rustic Parkitecture style.Due to the protected nature of the park, all building materials needed to be brought in to make it possible. Through all incarnations of this hotel, the park has always been the star of the show. And per usual with hotels of this age (opened in 1927) some guests never check out. The red elevators that Kubrick put in the Overlook were directly based of the elevators in the Ahwahnee as well. Tori did not forget to talk about the Fresno Nightcrawlers as well. Krys follows up with some true crime for y'all. The story of Wisconsin's Poison Widow Myrtle Schaude with her family annilhilator tendencies is fascinating to this day. Her story and the subsequent deaths in her family makes you reconsider the “don't take candy from strangers” adage. Sometimes taking candy from those you know is more deadly…Our Sources: Yosemite.com, travelyosemite.com, frightfind.com, californiahauntedhouses.com, Weird Wisconsin, Unknownmisandry.blogspot.com, Genealogytrails.com, Youtube.com UW Whitewater Lecture Series The Poison Widow of Whitewater: Mystery, Mayhem, and Murder Jennifer MotszkoOur theme music: “Danse Macabre - Busy Strings" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/trendylobotomypodcast Find us at FB/Instagram @TrendyLobotomyPod and at Twitter @TrendyPod as well as our blog trendylobotomypodcast.blogspot.com Support the show
Welcome back to the shit show! Krys covers the story of Muscatatuck Developmental Center. While this is not a fun story, it is a story that needs to be told. This was originally called the Indiana Farm Colony for the Feeble Minded Youth (their words, not ours) and proceeded to practice eugenics on this “class” of people. Way to go Indiana… This was the home for folks with lower IQs and did give them jobs as well. Cue a good staff and better ways to help folks, and part of the population at Muscatatuck was “happy” at their home. The eugenics seemed to be sidelined due to WWII (wonder why) but still went on way too long. Cue some abuse allegations and losing their Medicare funding, Muscatatuck closed. Stories like this are important to tell just for the sheer fact that we need to know how to do better for our fellow people. Tori covers the Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery in Seattle Washington. The Grand Army of the Republic was a fraternal order of Civil War veterans. There were at least five cemeteries of the same name in several different states. These cemeteries were the final resting place for Civil War vets and the one in Seattle seems to be the home to the restless dead or at least echoes of them. Krysti rounds us out with the tale of the Rock in the House. Yups, this charming place sits in the same state as the House on the Rock. Why not capitalize on boulders crashing through your house?

Tori starts with another of her hyperfocuses, federal parks, in particular Yosemite National Park. This park paved the way for the National Park Service and it's current mission in the US. This park has soooooo many stories and Tori gives some quick little stories as a taste of things to come. She has plans to revisit this park's stories and give you more of the interesting tales for there. Krysti gives us some interesting stories close to home and from a place close to sexy voice guy. Starting with the Rose Hotel which of course in on the National Register of Historic Places. Thought to be a toll house this hotel has gone through many incarations including the current version as a bed and breakfast. Def haunted. Next up we have the Asher Walton House in Atlanta IN. This haunted location has some ties to the haunted Roads Hotel as well.

Krys starts off this episode with Glensheen Mansion in which the crimes totally resemble Clue. This property seems to be a murder magnet. A candlestick on the grand staircase, beaten with a cane in the beer garten, and ALL the murderers got acquitted. You want a haunted house? Because that's how you get a haunted house. Tori goes to her go too topic, cemeteries. Bonaventure Cemetery in Thunderbolt Georgia with it's iconic Bird Girl. As well as the Bird Girl this cemetery is home to Gracie Watson and her eerie grave. Also some Eggnog Riot to boot.

Happy Pride y'all! Tori hits with the story of Eastern State Penitentiary. This has been covered on just about every paranormal podcast, tv show, and article. This prison is in Philadelphia and was historic proof of what not to do when setting up a penal system. Krys brings us back to Indiana to haunted New Harmony.

Krysti starts us off with the Culbertson Mansion in New Albany Indiana. This mansion was built by William Culbertson in 1867. By 1870 William was the second most wealthy man in Indiana. He lived in the house with several of his wives and at least three of his children were raised there. The amount of spooky stuff at this locale is substantial, doors opening and closing, lights on and off, menacing feelings, and of course EVPs. Tori brings up the rear with what you may ask? Cemeteries and not just cemeteries but a whole town that was started as a necropolis. Yes folks, a whole city where the dead outnumber the living at 1.5 million to 1800-1600 living souls. Next time you head to San Francisco ask yourself where the cemeteries are. Colma CA would be the answer to that question. With several mass graves due to the relocation from San Francisco, you would think spooky stuff would be the norm of the situation. You want ghosts?

We managed to have a grab bag episode. Tori leads off with Potato Creek State Park and it's stories of ghosts, cemeteries, and of course a premier birding destination. This reclaimed park has the fields of no for Krysti. Ghost kids, unseen hands, and women screaming. Krys follows up the story of the Starr Piano Factory. This factory has seen it's share of famous artists that recorded there. Also a shitload of ghosts. The factory stands to this day, albeit in a way different manner than the original. Switch to Tori telling about the Lincoln Park and the Lincoln Park Zoo and its beginning as the Chicago City Cemetery. This cemetery went the way of most large cemeteries in cities which equals ghosts and bodies under both the park proper and the zoo. Up next we have Krys telling the tale of New Harmony Indiana and it's almost utopian time in Indiana. Can we say cult? This has a long history of educated folks. Tori closes it out with the White Eagle Saloon and Hotel.

Strap in folks, we did another megasode. Although without the boys it could only be .5 designation. Krys leads off with the Witch's Castle AKA Mistletoe Falls in Utica, IN. This location has a long history of being haunted and plenty of stories as to why it's haunted. Unfortunately this location has ties to the terrible story of Shanda Sharer and her nightmarish murder by four teenagers. The Witch's Castle also has stories of murder, familicide, indigenous people, and most of all ghosts. Tori goes from there to tell the story of the battle of Gettysburg and it's mark on the history of the town. Being one of the bloodiest battles on US soil, the town and the land around it remembers to this day.

Tori leads off with the tale of the Overlook Hotel, well actually the two hotels that were both the basis for the hotel made famous by Sotephen King. The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO was where Stephen King stayed at and had nightmares in. This hotel has so much history under one roof that picking out all the stories was tough. The Stanley has several tours and most of them tell at least one ghost story if not more. The Timberline Hotel in Mt. Hood, OR was the hotel that was used for the outdoor shots of the exterior of the Overlook Hotel. Unlike the Stanley, the Timberline's haunted history was scarce. Still a beautiful piece of American history and had a cooler back story than the Stanley. Krysti moves on to the Williamson Memorial Hospital in West Virginia otherwise known as the Old Hospital on College Hill. Shout out to John Cassity, his pictures were what peaked Krys's interest in this story. This hospital has a long history of odd goings on even before the hospital started getting decommissioned. The community around the hospital declined just like the mining did. Throughout the years, this place has been home to tours, ghost hunters, specials, and events. The stories run the gamut from ghostly nurses, horses in the elevator, strange lights, to battery problems in the xray room.

TRIGGER WARNING:The story this week involves sexual abuse, blood drinking, and animal abuse. None if these are explicitly described but listener discretion advised..Krys leads off with the Murray Kentucky Vampire Clan, which Tori immediately freaks out because she remembers the story. Rod Ferrell was raised in a very messed up environment but his mother played into that immensely. In the 90s vampires were all the rage and some folks took it too far. While we are not ones to yuck someone's yum, these folks took Vampire the Masquerade or an approximation of waaaaaayyyyy too far. From animal abuse to murder to police chases, these kids took it too far. Spawning terrible b movies in the process and giving gamers a bad name. Rod Ferrell is the douche canoe of Kentucky. Tori follows up with Lemp Mansion. American Hauntings get their props for source material for this one. The Lemp family was a big money brewer in St. Louis and left their mark on the city, This family seemed to collect tragedy and seemed to leave ghosts in response. The Lemp Mansion stands still to this day as a restaurant and inn. Complete with tours and perhaps some Ghostbusters-esque shenanigans from the resident spirits.Our Sources: Weird Kentucky, Beargrassthunder.com, Wkms.com, oxygen.com, Imdb.com, Tourmurray.com, Crimesandconsequences.com, Hillbilly Horror Stories: Episode 187: Kentucky Vampires, Morbid Episode 17: Rod Fereel “The Vampire Cult Killer” AKA Turbo Douche,YouTube.com Kentucky Teenage Vampire - Real Stories, hauntedrooms.com, American Hauntings Podcast Season 2 Eps 19-24, legendsofamerica.com, travelthruhistory.com, lempmansion.com Our theme music: “Danse Macabre - Busy Strings"Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/trendylobotomypodcastFind us at FB/Instagram @TrendyLobotomyPod and at Twitter @TrendyPod as well as our blog trendylobotomypodcast.blogspot.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/trendylobotomypodcast?fan_landing=true)
