This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! In his new book, "One Night in Salem: The Hidden History of the American Witch," Troy Taylor takes us back to when "witchcraft" came to America with the first European settlers. They had fled at a time when thousands were being accused, tortured, hanged, and burned for being witches. They arrived in America looking for a fresh start and brought that fear of witches with them. That fear and dread became hysteria when evil came to Salem Village, fueling hostility, distrust, and religious fanaticism that claimed the lives of innocent people on the gallows. But Salem was not the end of America's obsession with witchcraft. In this episode, we look into the hidden history of the American witch and how it continues today. This is Part Two of our conversation. About our guest:   Troy Taylor is a supernatural historian, murder buff, and the author of around 140 books on ghosts, hauntings, history, crime, and the unexplained in America. He is also the founder of American Hauntings.

Special Christmas Eve Episode of the Podcast!In centuries past, our ancestors had a much different idea of the holiday season than we do today. In those days, the winter nights were long and dark. It was a time of snow, cold, and ice and days and weeks huddled around the fire waiting for warmer weather to return. Oil lamps, candles, and fireplaces were the only sources of light to keep back the encroaching shadows.It was the perfect time for ghosts. In the Victorian era, Winter was considered the spookiest time of year, beginning with Halloween and ending with the spring thaw. All the greatest fictional ghost stories of the time were set in the gloomy winter months and during the holidays, like Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol” for instance.So, if you've ever wondered why the singer mentions “Scary Ghost Stories” in the song, THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR, well, now you know….So, here's a ghost story for you to listen to while you're going over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house this week. Happy Holidays from Troy and Cody from American Hauntings!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/american-hauntings-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! In his new book, "One Night in Salem: The Hidden History of the American Witch," Troy Taylor takes us back to when "witchcraft" came to America with the first European settlers. They had fled at a time when thousands were being accused, tortured, hanged, and burned for being witches. They arrived in America looking for a fresh start and brought that fear of witches with them. That fear and dread became hysteria when evil came to Salem Village, fueling hostility, distrust, and religious fanaticism that claimed the lives of innocent people on the gallows. But Salem was not the end of America's obsession with witchcraft. In this episode, we look into the hidden history of the American witch and how it continues today. About our guest:   Troy Taylor is a supernatural historian, murder buff, and the author of around 140 books on ghosts, hauntings, history, crime, and the unexplained in America.

Throughout the past year, we've introduced you to a very strange collection of stories about people who have gone missing – disappeared without a trace, never to return. But as an end of the year "thank you" for all the great feedback, story ideas, texts, emails, and support that we've gotten from you this season, we wanted to offer you one last story. We'll warn you though – this isn't your typical missing person story. This one has a bit of a twist, which is why I wanted to save it to the very end.

(Patience Worth And The Ouija Board) *** A home in India is grappling with an angry ghost that apparently has chosen to throw potatoes at it. (Terrifying Tater Tosser) *** It began with a blast the power of a nuclear bomb, lights filled the skies, a fireball the size of the moon streaked across the sky. But this wasn't a UFO or anything paranormal or supernatural. This was all man-made – and it was only the beginning of something much more sinister that was planned. (The Japanese Death Cult's Plan To Split The World In Two) *** John Hatfield could not stay out of trouble. Probably due to the fact that he kept making up false identifies for himself, and getting into trouble with those identities. His antics were so well known that later, a woman who created a falsehood about herself was accused of being an imposter just like him. We'll look at both of their strange stories!

Last year we did an episode with our guest Troy Taylor about the hauntings of Mineral Springs Hotel in Alton Illinois. On that episode, he invited us to join him on a tour with American Hauntings so we could experience where these haunted locations took place and we said YES! In this twin talk, we are highlighting our experience with Troy and our take on whether Alton was as creepy as he claimed. If you are interested in learning more about these hauntings tune in to our previous episode with him here. Want to do a tour with Troy Taylor?!

“PATIENCE WORTH AND THE OUIJA BOARD” and 5 More Strange But True Stories! #WeirdDarknessClick here to find Weird Darkness in your favorite podcast app: https://linktr.ee/weirddarkness IN THIS EPISODE: How did Pearl Curran, an ordinary St. Louis housewife, become the center of one of the greatest paranormal mysteries of all time? (Patience Worth And The Ouija Board) *** A home in India is grappling with an angry ghost that apparently has chosen to throw potatoes at it. (Terrifying Tater Tosser) *** It began with a blast the power of a nuclear bomb, lights filled the skies, a fireball the size of the moon streaked across the sky. But this wasn't a UFO or anything paranormal or supernatural. This was all man-made – and it was only the beginning of something much more sinister that was planned. (The Japanese Death Cult's Plan To Split The World In Two) *** John Hatfield could not stay out of trouble. Probably due to the fact that he kept making up false identifies for himself, and getting into trouble with those identities. His antics were so well known that later, a woman who created a falsehood about herself was accused of being an imposter just like him. We'll look at both of their strange stories! (The Keswick Imposter, and the Fasting-Woman of Tutbury) *** Long before Sybil and the Three Faces of Eve, there was Doris Fischer and her case is still considered a classic.

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)

The Legend Of The Bell Witch is a legend that is told repeatedly in the paranormal community and sparks many conversations. We dive deep into what the Legend Of The Bell Witch is, and what our personal theories behind it could be.  The Legend takes place in what is now Adams, TN, and involves the Bell Family. John Bell was a farmer from North Carolina that moved his family to over 300 acres of farmland in Adams, TN. They moved there in 1804 to start experiencing crazy activity nearly a decade later in 1816. It escalated fairly quickly starting as only just knocks on doors, things being moved to John's daughter Betsy being consistently slapped, punched, and stuck with pins. Follow us on this episode as we dive more into details and theorize what this entity is and if it's still active to this day! H2O Capsule H2O capsule is a water bottle that can hold your keys and your credit card!
