Webster's Dictionary defines "riffing" as a verb which means "to discharge (a person) from military or civil service, especially as part of an economy program." And that seems wrong but I don't see a phone number on the website so I don't know what to do about it. This week on YKS we get an update on our old friend the Shrimp Diva, a grift for Tesla Turds that somehow seems to not be working, and we discover a gold mine in bad celebrity impersonations.

In Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=William_Younghusband&oldid=941797985 Transcript: Hello, and welcome to another episode of Crimes & Witch-Demeanors! The paranormal podcast where we go beyond rehashing wikipedia pages and delve into archival and historic resources to uncover the truth behind our favorite spooky tales. I'm your host and sardonic librarian, Joshua Spellman. N Today's episode has been inspired by recent personal events dealing with hospitals and nurses and the title is of course inspired by Willam. If you know, you know, if you don't, you don't. And that's fine, some of us have our own little club. Today's topic took me on quite the journey (as good research often tends to do): you begin one place and think you know where you're going to land but you wind up in an entirely unintended location. And in this case — that's fine! I mean, that's how the scientific process works. Never try and prove your own hypothesis, be your own worst enemy — like I am in my love life. But today I went from researching phenomenon spanning continents to zeroing in on the homes and hospitals of the beautiful coastal capital of South Australia—Adelaide,. Not a bad place to end up, if you ask me! So settle in, buckle up, we've got a long flight ahead. ____ “Alright, you've got this” Cassie said to herself in the mirror, splashing water on her face. This was her first night on the job as an evening nurse in a new facility — and through a series of unfortunate events — she was the only one on staff. Something like this wouldn't happen back in the city, but things are different when you're in a small town…as Cassie would soon find out. Making her way back out to the nurses station, Cassie paused to look around. The hubbub and bustling activity of the day had all but faded away. By this time, most of the patients were already asleep in their beds, leaving Cassie feeling unnaturally alone. The place felt almost abandoned. Even the smallest of sounds: a patient's distant cough, the water dripping from the leaky faucet, her footsteps on the ground, bounced and echoed through the tiled halls; rising and falling in a cacophony of silence. BZZT! Cassie nearly jumped out of her skin. It was only the call button of a patient requiring assistance. She made her way over to the patient's room “Hi there, I'm Cassie, the new evening nurse, what seems to be the matter” she glanced at the patient's chart “Miss Roebel?” “Oh please dear, call me Trish” the old woman replied “I have the bladder of a small old lady despite being a spry young thing of 79” she chuckled “if you could please help me on over to the lavatory” “Oh, of course!” Cassie replied, rushing to Trish's bedside to help her up. She walked Trish over to the bathroom and onto the toilet. BZZT! Another patient needing assistance. “Do you mind if I go and help them? It can give you your privacy” Cassie asked. “Oh, of course!” Trish replied. “But don't try any funny business and try and get back to bed on your own” Cassie warned, mockingly wagging her finger at Trish. “Aye, aye captain!” Trish retorted as Cassie made her way to assist the other patient. He was an older gentleman who, while trying to get comfortable in bed, had accidentally ripped out his IV. Cassie was still a little nervous and being new, it took her minute to locate the sterile needles. After successfully administering the IV, which took a little longer than expected since the man was afraid of needles, Cassie rushed back over to Trish's room. And that's when she found Trish…tucked neatly into bed, ready for sleep. “Trish…” Cassie started, “I told you to wait for me so I could help you into bed. You could have fallen!” “Oh…but I didn't!” Trish exclaimed, “the other nurse came in and helped me” Confused, Cassie asked with skepticism “The other nurse?” “The one in the grey uniform, with the hat” “Ah, yes. Of course” Cassie replied, not wanting to alarm the old woman “Goodnight Trish” she said as she turned off her light. As Cassie made her way back into the hall, the phone at the nurse's station began to ring. She rushed over to answer, “Hello, Valley County medical center, Cassie speaking” “Oh, hi Cassie! This is Frida, the day nurse, I just wanted to check in and make sure everything is going alright before I headed to sleep, my apologies that we're so short staffed” “Oh, hello Frida! Yes, yes, everything is going alright…but did you happen to have someone else come in to help work my shift? I just came back from a patient who-“ Frida cut her off, “Oh…so you've already seen her then?” “Seen…who?” “Oh, never mind.” Said Frida, “Just something silly. Anyways, have a good night, please call if anything urgent comes up” “Of course, thanks for checking in. Goodnight!” Cassie said, hanging up the phone. What was she on about? But Cassie didn't have time to mull it over as she heard the echo of shuffling of feet. Another patient out of bed? Cassie got up from the nurses station and peered around the corner. There was someone at the end of the long hall. Cassie squinted to see clearer in the dim light, was that Trish? “Trish!” Cassie scolded, walking closer “I told you not to get out of bed on your own” As she made her way closer to the figure she realized it was a nurse. She was dressed in grey from head to toe, with a funny old-fashioned hat. The nurse nodded to Cassie with a wry smile and winked as she tilted her cap. Then, suddenly the woman turned on her heel, walked straight into the adjoining wall and vanished. ___ Stories like Cassie's are not unfamiliar to nurses — regardless of culture or region. Benign nurse figures are often seen roaming hospitals across the world and are referred to as Grey Nurses or Grey ladies because of the color of their uniforms. Are these apparitions the spirits of departed healthcare workers who loved their jobs so much in life that they carry on in death? Which I find hard to believe…while there are many great nurses out there on the front lines saving us from the pandemic I immediately think of all my high school bullies who can barely spell catheter let alone insert one who are now probably all angels of death… Which is actually a great segway while throwing some subtle shade at former cheerleaders—maybe grey nurses are not ghosts at all but instead are inhuman spirits taking on a familiar form, who seek to comfort and care for our sick and dying. I guess that's literally the definition an angel? Well, not the kind that are concentric spinning rings of fire with seventeen glowing eyes that are so horrifying that gazing upon them them will wreck your feeble human mind…you know like kind of angels in the Bible. But you know, grey nurses are like the hallmark, Touched By an Angel type that Christians believe in despite their holy book describing them as horrific creatures. But I digress. While we may not have all the answers to these questions, we can surely try and answer them. Despite being a worldwide paranormal phenomenon, my research kept circling back to hospitals in one city: Adelaide. Specifically, the former Adelaide Royal Hospital, now known as Lot Fourteen and Austin Hospital. Unlike the Windsor Hotel from last week, Austin Hospital has an entire webpage devoted to stories from staff about their ghostly grey nurse. This following story is from their former Divisional Director of Cancer and Neurosciences, Cherie Cheshire…which, by the way, is an amazingly alliterative name. If you're looking to name a character in a book you're writing I suggest you snatch that name up before somebody else takes it! Anyway, here is her story: “We were supposed to be three nurses on night shift, but we were short staffed and only had two. One patient named Carol had complete paralysis due to MS. She could not take a drink of water herself however suffered from terrible dry mouth. So, the nursing staff attended to her at least hourly to help her sip some water, even overnight. On this shift we were flat out. At around 9.30pm I filled Carol's one litre jug with iced water and gave her a drink. It then got very busy and I didn't manage to go back to her room until midnight. When I did, she only had half a jug of water. She told me the other nurse had been in several times and helped her drink. I knew this wasn't right however checked with the other nurse who said she had not been in the room. When I asked Carol about who helped her with her water again, she said it was the older agency nurse in the old-fashioned grey dress…” This next story from the former director of Nursing and former ICU Unit Manager, Jen Hancock, served as the inspiration to the narrative portion of today's episode: “While working nights on the old 6A in Heidelberg House, the buzzer rang and a lady needed a pan. I took it to her and asked her to buzz when finished. Ten minutes later, there was no buzz, so l went to check. She was lying down in bed half asleep, curtains pulled back. She told me that the other nurse in the grey uniform with a veil had taken it and made her comfortable. I was working with a male Enrolled Nurse. I asked the Registered Nurse who was between the three wards in Heidelberg House, if she knew anyone in a different uniform. She didn't. I was later told it was a common occurrence in Heidelberg House and that patients had often described the grey nurse.” Other nurses reported ghostly occurrences like floating utensils, a hallways that is always ice cold at night, and seeing the grey nurse turn a corner and disappear. The former Royal Adelaide Hospital, which I believe has been converted or demolished in favor of residential and commercial space, also had tales of the Grey nurse. I tried to do some digging, but there isn't much to go on with these stories: no name, no cause of death, no era, no nothing. However, I did manage to dig up an old newspaper article about a ghost story that has been circulating for at least a century and a half: the Grey Lady of Adelaide. This specter is known as the first ghost of Adelaide…which is a little Eurocentric considering there were probably many Aboriginal ghosts prior to the colonization of the area but I digress… the color association here is interesting. Could this Grey Lady and the grey nurses be one in the same? The ghost of the Grey Lady was said to haunt Younghusband Mansion. I was curious where this mansion was located — was it in the vicinity of one of these hospitals? Or perhaps it was demolished and one of the aforementioned hospitals built over top. I found my answer in the October 17, 1929 issue of The Register News-Pictorial. It reads thusly: GREY LADY OF NORTH ADELAIDE - CITY'S BEST GHOST STORY And There Was Another In A Castle WhoLeft Illicit Still Behind ROMANTIC GHOST WHO SAT IN CELLAR SHE haunted the Younghusband mansion, this Grey Lady of North Adelaide, and in the basement each night could be seen, 60 years and less ago, sitting in her chair in her own particular cellar. Memory recalls only that much of this spirit with the romantic title, but when the Nursing Sisters of Calvary Hospital became owners of the Younghusband mansion, they closed the Grey Lady's cellar. And the Grey Lady went out of memory. The Archbishop of Adelaide (Dr. Spence), when he laid the foundation stone of a convent home for the Nursing Sisters of the Calvary Hospital, North Adelaide, revived, perhaps, Adelaide's two sole ghost stories. He recalled that the sisters never saw the Grey Lady but the story, no doubt, added to their discomfort. The acre on which Calvary Hospital stands was first owned by Robert Gouger, the State's first Colonial Secretary. He, too, owned land near the present Gouger street, where he built his home, and there were buried his wife and child. This is the foundation of the story of the Grey Lady, it is thought. However illogical might be the idea of the North Adelaide property being haunted, the story grew, and was known up to 29 years ago, when the Nursing Sisters took over the property from the Baker family. When the old house was pulled down to give place to the present modern structure at Calvary Hospital, the story gained another lease of life. I wanted to learn a little bit more about this mansion and it led me down…quite the path. If you follow the podcast on instagram @crimesandwitchdemeanors then you already know where this is going. The article wasn't very clear on whether Calvary Hospital was the mansion, replaced the mansion, or if the mansion was just used as a convent for the Nuns of Calvary Hospital. In trying to answer these questions, I stumbled across the blog of a man named Allen Tiller. Who, if you've seen the original Teen Titans cartoon, is a dead-ringer for the villain Control Freak. He is quote “a historian, genealogist, author, paranormal investigator, and the 2017 emerging South Australian Historian of the Year.” Quite the decorated man! Now, although his website looks like it was plucked straight from Xanga, awful div transparencies and all, it was useful because it led me to his book, The Haunts of Adelaide: History, Mystery, and the Paranormal REVISED EDITION. The revised part is in all caps so you know it's important. However, I'm grateful for his book because it includes a chapter on the Younghusband Mansion - for which there is virtually no digital resources on. I'm just glad I have Kindle unlimited so I didn't have to pay for it. The entire introduction read like a thread of rage-tweets lambasting the prior publisher. Maybe not the best look, Allen. Save it for twitter. Not the book. It kind of diminishes what credibility you earned. But I'm not the 2017 Emerging South Australian Historian of the Year so you know, I should probably keep my big mouth shut. Here's what I've gleaned for his book: The parcel of land Younghusband mansion was built on was originally purchased tin 1837 by Robert Cock during the first land sale held in Adelaide. Later, Cock sold the land to the first colonial secretary of South Australia: Robert Gouger. Gouger bought the land because he was under the impression that its high elevation would help ease the pain of his ailing wife, Harriet, who was suffering from tuberculosis. They erected a modest wooden cabin on the land but sadly the high elevation proved to offer no health benefits and Harriet, along with her infant child, died. Gouger buried both his wife and child on the land, though they were later moved and interred at West Terrace cemetery. This history is what led to the story of the Grey Lady as outlined in the news article. However, its legacy doesn't end there. In 1842 the land was sold to Edward Stephens and then again in 1846 to William Younghusband. William Younghusband was an Englishman who made a killing investing in the Burra Mines and his house reflected his wealth. Younghusband Mansion at one point was once known as the finest home in Adelaide…though that may be because it was the only one of its kind in the area. The mansion was opulent and grand: it had a ballroom, ornate gardens, secret rooms, underground tunnels, a unique iron fence, and it was outfitted head to toe in cedar. After Younghusband's death in 1865, the house changed hands quite a few times before the the lease came to rest in the hands of Miss Isabella Baker in 1883. Miss Baker had plans to convert the home into a private hospital but she could not do so until the owned the property herself. It took some time, but after six years she finally convinced the remaining trustee to relinquish the property. The mansion became the living quarters of the nuns. The two rooms facing the streets were used as bedrooms, behind them was a box room, below a large basement, and there was another room that had been sealed up. Behind the seal was a room that had not been finished during the Younghusband's occupation of the home. It was full of construction materials, dust, and rocks. During the time the Younghusband's stayed in the house, many people noticed the sealed up room, and because many people knew about Gouger's wife and her baby that died on the property, the legend of the Grey Lady began. The story really took off in 1869 when a newspaper published a story about a ghost spotted sitting in a chair in the basement. Younghusband mansion was eventually torn down and Calvary Hospital was built on the grounds. Could the Grey Lady have become one of the grey nurses? Or is her entity altogether separate? The former Royal Adelaide Hospital was one of the biggest hotspots of grey nurse encounters. Allegedly, a whole floor of the building was closed due to paranormal activity in the 1980's, though no evidence of this exists. It seems a little farfetched. As with most grey nurses, her identity was unknown but her story follows the usual pattern: she was the wife of a doctor who died on the operating table, she died in a car accident on her way to work, she was pushed down the stairs by a mental health patient, or she accidentally delivered a fatal overdose and committed suicide. The Royal Adelaide Hospital has moved to a new building and the old one was partially demolished and partially renovated and converted into shops, apartments, and the new location for the Australian Space Agency. Construction workers on the site witnessed paranormal activity. Allegedly, a number of workers sent messages to our good friend Allen Tiller describing their encounters. Frequently, a “person in blue” was spotted on the upper floors watching the construction staff work. When they called security to find the person, since it's dangerous to be on an active construction site, no one was found. This happened on numerous occasions. Now again. My brain always goes to speedy squatters, and no I'm not talking about me the day after I have chipotle. An abandoned building is the perfect place for someone to seek shelter with little risk of running into anyone. Regardless, the construction workers believe it to be a ghost and the blue outfit could possibly be scrubs. I will say that oftentimes grey can appear blue in certain circumstances. White ladies, men in black hats, and grey nurses…are they distinct spirits who choose to appear in these forms? Or are they archetypes that have been burned into our collective subconscious? It's safe to say we may never learn the identities of these homogenous haunts, if they are ghosts at all. But they do make for fun stories to tell in the dark. Next week's episode is going to be my personal ghost stories and will follow a different format than usual. Next week is my birthday week, and I'm also getting the second dose of my vaccine so I'm planning on feeling icky for a few days and would rather not have to write a few thousand words with a fever!

On today's episode we're finally hopping over to the West Coast on our ghoulish tour of the United States and stopping at the Hotel Del Coronado in sunny San Diego, California. Today's story is bonkers. When I began investigating it, it seemed fairly straightforward and I thought this was going to be an easy episode…but I was incredibly wrong. While 98% of the articles and websites about this case make it seem like a simple open and shut cold case, after digging deeper I discovered it was anything but. And once again, the hotel website was not the most reliable source for this story. But before we begin I just have some quick housekeeping. In order to make the podcast more accessible I am posting transcripts of every episode on the official website. You can find the link to the website and the transcript for this episode in the show notes, or you can simply view the blog at crimesandwitchdemeanors.com Now I do have to go back and finish transcribing a few episodes…I don't think you realize how much writing I do for these. This episode alone is about 5,000 words…or 10 pages single spaced. It might as well be a legal brief…which…let's me transition into my next topic before we get started. God, I'm smooth as heck. Did you know there was an intellectual property case in 1917 between Mark Twain's family and an author who published a book claiming that is was written by Twain beyond the grave using a Ouija board? What in the actual hell? Trial by Ordeal is a paranormal podcast that covers legal precedents and cases that were informed by the paranormal or strange events. I love my podcast because it blends archival science with the paranormal in what I like to think is a fresh take but if my take is fresh I don't even know how to describe this. It's great. I liked it and I figured you all would as well. But I'll let you be the judge (ahaz. But the host Sarah Arena is lovely and I wanted to shout her out because I figured if you liked my podcast you'd like hers. Us witches gotta stick together! Okay. Housekeeping is finished…and speaking of housekeeping oh my god my segways are on fricken point…let's hop over to the Hotel Del Coronado and delve into the mystery of the Beautiful stranger… It was Thanksgiving Day – November 24th, 1892 when a true Victorian mystery began to unfurl. It was on this day that Lottie A. Bernard was born a fully mature and elegant woman and who would die only five short days later. “I understand” a young woman with short dark hair said, exasperated “but my brother has my baggage tickets…we…we were separated on the train. If you could please hand over my trunks to me, it would be greatly appreciated.” “Sorry ma'am. Without them tickets I can't give you your luggage” “But I cannot be without them! They hold all of belongings. I don't know when I'll be able to find my brother again. So if you could please turn them over…” “Railway policy, I'm afraid, ma'am,” the ticket man said, a little more sternly “it's out of my control. Nothing to be done about it.” he said with finality, turning to head back into his booth. “Fine.” the woman breathed, exhaling her frustration like the hiss of a train “but I will be back! And you'll hear about this!” The main nodded to her expressionless, urging her to keep on moving. Aggravated, the woman, with nothing but her handbag, made her way into the city of San Diego. First, she made a stop at the Hotel Brewster to ask if her brother and his wife had arrived. The hotel clerk informed her that no such persons were staying at the hotel, nor did they have reservations. Not finding her brother at the Brewster, the woman made her way to the ferry, and then from there, once landing on Coronado island, she took the little red trolley 1.3 miles to her final destination: the Hotel Del Coronado. Or, as it was affectionately known to locals…the Del. It was mid-afternoon as she approached the Del. It's massive white façade was blinding, even as the sun sat low in the sky. The Del was the largest resort hotel in the world and it's architectural style was distinct. Constructed entirely of wood painted white, with a red roofing – it was flanked by two wide and sprawling tower-like annexes, with a more rectangular midsection that was dotted with Victorian spires of its own jutting out here and there. The woman made her way up the front steps but did not approach the main doors, instead she made her way to a separate entrance off to the side that read “Unaccompanied Ladies” on the lintel. Making her way into the hotel, those inside where aghast. A woman? Traveling unaccompanied? In the Victorian era? How very dare she. The woman made her way up to the small desk, reserved for ladies like herself…those that dare travel without the company of a gentleman or older woman. “I'd like to book a room, please” The clerk looked her up and down. She was dressed at the height of fashion: wearing a large black hat and a solid gold ring with four pearls and a blue stone set in the center. Possibly a sapphire. The clerk could see that the woman was attractive, with her pale skin, high cheekbones, and short dark hair. Even the two small moles on her left cheek somehow seemed elegant. “Are you traveling alone, miss?” the clerk replied. “No, no…” the woman started “I…am waiting for my brother he's to join me soon.” “Alright, miss. And…” he now noticed she was carrying nothing but her handbag and found it quite peculiar “…do you have any luggage?” A look of frustration flashed across the young woman's face. “Yes. My brother will be bringing it. You see, we were separated in Orange but we're meeting here, you see, and he has my luggage” “That is perfectly alright miss” the clerk said, “And the name for the room?” The woman hesitated for a moment. “Uhh…Lottie. Yes, Miss Lottie A. Bernard” “Thank you Miss Bernard, and where are you from?” “I'm sorry, it's Mrs.” “My apologies. Where are you from, Mrs. Bernard?” “Detroit” And it was at this moment that Lottie A. Bernard was born, springing to life like the goddess Athena from Zeus's forehead: fully grown and mature. But unlike the goddess Athena, Lottie was not immortal. “Here we are Mrs. Bernard” said a young bellboy by the name of Harry West, “Room 302. I know it's a source of frustration for you but I for one am glad you didn't have any luggage! It saves me from hauling your trunks up three flights of stairs!” Lottie laughed, “Oh, don't you worry my brother, Dr. Anderson will bring them when he arrives.” “Yes, of course” Harry said, nodding. Not looking forward to his arrival. “I do hope he comes soon. I am ill you see.” Lottie replied somberly. She looked in good health to Harry. “Oh I am very sorry” “Yes, yes, I have neuralgia and a stomach cancer. My brother is arriving with my medicine and to treat me.” “Well, in that case, I do hope he comes soon” Harry replied, now feeling remorseful about not wanting him to bring her bags. “Well, Happy Thanksgiving, ma'am. Enjoy your night.” “You too, Harry” Lottie said, handing him a small tip. Lottie slept soundly that night, and stayed on the hotel grounds the following day. She spent it mostly in her room, but she spoke to quite a few guests and hotel employees: most often telling of her frustration about the baggage fiasco at the San Diego train station and how she wished her brother would come soon. She inquired multiple times at the front desk if they had heard word from him. On the morning of her third day Lottie slowly made her way down to the hotel drug store. She appeared to be in considerable pain, for which she requested medicine. “Miss, you should really see a doctor” the chemist told her with concern. “I am already seeing a doctor. My brother, Dr, Anderson, is a physician. He should be here any day now” Lottie responded before leaving. However, she came back to the store later that afternoon where she made an odd purchase consisting of an empty pint bottle and a sponge. On the fourth day of her stay Lottie did not leave her room, save to inquire at the front desk about her brother who had still not arrived. Dawn broke on the fifth and final day. Lottie awoke and requested that Harry, the bellboy, bring her up a glass of wine from the bar. For the pain, she said. Shortly thereafter, she called for Harry again to bring her a whiskey cocktail. Alcohol seemed to be Lottie's medication of choice since her brother was nowhere to be found. Once Harry brought her whiskey, she requested that she draw a bath for her. She hoped the hot water would help soothe her stomach pain. Down the hall, Harry drew Lottie a bath (as on-suites were not customary at this time – even in such a fine hotel) and brought her a bucket of ice at her request. “Thank you, Harry” Lottie mumbled weakly as she made her way from the room to the bath holding on the wall for support, “I should be finished in an hour or two” An hour passed; and then two. BZZT, BZZT “Yes…yes…please…could you send Harry up to my room at the earliest, thank you, thank you” Lottie said over the phone. Harry was sent up to the room and he was shocked to find Lottie soaking wet and groaning in pain. Lottie explained that she had fallen in the tub because she was so weak and had gotten her hair wet. She went on to mention that she feared her wet hair would worsen her condition and so asked Harry to dry her hair for her. It wasn't a service the hotel provided but because of her insistence, Harry obliged. Lottie seemed to drift in and out of sleep throughout the process and would intermittently whimper in pain. Harry was uncomfortable but he was paid handsomely for his extra services: Lottie tipped him a dollar. Now, a dollar doesn't seem like much, but in 1892 it was worth a full day's wages. After leaving Lottie's room, Harry told his supervisor Gomer of his concerns…who had some concerns of his own…namely Lottie's tab that she had been running up. Lottie was paying for her room daily, but her expense tab (which would customarily be paid at the end of a guest's stay) was starting to rack up. Because of his concern for her health—mainly her financial health—Gomer decided to visit Lottie in her room. Gomer found her just as Harry had described: sick in bed and writhing in pain. “Hello ma'am, I came to check on you, Harry told me you weren't feeling so well and maybe you should call a doctor” Gomer looked at the fireplace, which was unused, “you really should light a fire, miss. There's a rather frightening storm coming tonight.” “No need for a fire” Lottie said, “and I'm so near death now, all the doctors have given up on me and my condition. Calling another wouldn't be of used to me…” “I'm sorry ma'am. Then there is the issue of your tab…” Gomer said awkwardly “Telegraph Mr. G. L. Allen in Hamburg, Iowa” Lottie said, “he'll cover any additional expenses” Lottie did decide to light a fire, though not as Gomer had recommended. She rang Harry once more and requested matches. Harry offered to bring a box from the store but Lottie insisted she only needed a few. Reluctantly, Harry gave Lottie the couple of matches in his pocket. Lottie took them from his hand and lit one. She tossed it into the fireplace on top of what appeared to be a stack of papers or letters, burning them to cinders. That afternoon, slowly, still in pain, Lottie made her way down to the pharmacy once more. During her conversation with a real estate agent, T.J. Fisher, she expressed that she had to head across the Bay and into San Diego. Naturally, Fisher advised her not to, not only because of her frail condition, but because the approaching storm could spell trouble for her journey. Disregarding this, Lottie went on to say that she had to go and identify her items at the train station because of her lost baggage tickets and promptly left. Lottie began her journey to San Diego around 4 or 5 o'clock, first riding the trolley (where she required the conductor's assistance to board because of her weakened state) and then afterward, she took the ferry across the bay to San Diego. Lottie first made her way into a store called Ship Chandlery and asked the clerk if he sold revolver cartridges. He did not. But he told Lottie where she could purchase some: from Chick's Gun Shop down the road. Lottie followed the clerk's advice and told the owner of the gun shop that she wished to purchase a revolver and cartridges as a Christmas present for her friend. The owner of the shop sold her what she requested and even demonstrated the proper use of her new firearm. With her new purchase in hand, Lottie made her way back to the Del. After placing her newfound weapon safely in her room, Lottie made her way down to the hotel veranda. There she stood overlooking the ocean, watching the black storm clouds rolling on the horizon, approaching faster and faster bringing with them a sense of foreboding. Electric anticipation crackled in the air. The winds which grew ever stronger, carried the soft scent of Jasmine on its wings but it was tinged by something else…beneath the heady floral notes the unmistakable stench of death and tragedy loomed. From inside the hotel, Harry watched Lottie on the portico, not knowing that this would be the last time he would see her alive. Breaking from her reverie, Lottie approached the front desk where Gomer was enraptured in work. Gomer had spent all evening fulfilling requests from guests to switch their rooms from the seaward side of the hotel to the landward side to buffer themselves from the storm. “Has there been word from Dr. Anderson?” Lottie inquired. “No. No word from your brother…same as always” “I see…well, thank you…” Lottie said “Goodnight.” “Goodnight.” Gomer said sharply, annoyed not only by the fact that she had interrupted his work, but also because she still an astronomical tab to pay and he had not heard word from her brother nor the mysterious G.L. Allen he telegrammed earlier that day. That night the storm lashed against the Hotel del Coronado, slamming it with torrents of rain. Lightning shot through the sky in spidery veins and the thunder roared like a circus lion. By dawn, however, the beast had been tamed. The sun broke through the clouds to filter through the morning mist, it's beams falling gently on the body of Lottie A. Bernard. An electrician found her sprawled on the veranda steps leading down to the beach. A revolver in her hand, evidently the cause of her present condition. The coroner claimed her death a suicide without examining the body—if he had he would have noticed the bullet did not come from her gun. A circus of an investigation followed, riddled with more twist and turns than a corkscrew. And that is how Lottie A. Bernard lived and died in just five short days. The body went on to be identified, misidentified, and identified again…but her true identity is still a source of conflict and mystery well over a century later. Was she a runaway? A con-woman? An assassin? Depending on who you ask, she was either one of these things or all of them. Regardless of who she was in life, her restless spirit still haunts the Hotel del Coronado. And that is the story of the beautiful stranger. I wrote the narration based off of historical accounts including witness testimony from transcripts of the coroner's inquest and news article. In fact, her physical description in the beginning? I just reworded the description the police gave of her body that was published in the Los Angeles Herald. We have a lot…I mean a lot…to unravel before we can even start to talk about the haunting because this case is just next level confusing. In typical Victorian fashion the press coverage and the investigation into her death is insane. So who was Lottie A. Bernard? It depends who you ask, but I'm going to tell you what the historic record states first before getting into warring theories by some overzealous authors. Initially, investigators had no reason to believe she was anyone but Lottie A. Bernard. In fact, $25.00 was wired from G.L. Allen after her death to cover her bill. However, it soon became apparent that Lottie A. Bernard was nothing but a clever façade. Deputy Coroner Stetson did not hesitate to rule the death a suicide. As mentioned earlier he did not perform an autopsy: the wound to her right temple was enough to convince him. However, it was later discovered the bullet that caused the wound did not match the caliber of the pistol Lottie purchased. Perhaps Lottie bought the gun to protect herself from someone. When the police searched room 302 they found quinine pills, handkerchiefs embroidered with the name ‘Lottie' or perhaps ‘Louisa' Anderson, and a pile of burnt letters. The items that remained intact had strange scrawls on them. One simply read “Lottie A. Bernard”, another “I don't know any such man” and even an invitation to the Del signed by actresses Louise Leslie Carter and Lillian Russell. The police sent another telegraph to Mr. Allen in Iowa but did not receive a response. In the meantime they found a Lottie A. Bernard from Detroit…but she was alive and well. Now it was clear that Lottie was nothing but an alias. The police published the aforementioned sketch in the paper, which you can see on the podcast Instagram. A Mrs. Wyllie from Detroit came forward after seeing the rendering and reading the description and said the corpse in question was her daughter, Lizzie Wyllie. Lizzie had eloped from Detroit with a married man a few weeks prior. The description matched her to a T—even right down to the two moles on her left cheek– mystery solved…right? Well…almost. There was one issue: Lizzie Wyllie had pierced ears. The cadaver did not. Nor did it show any signs that it ever had. Mrs. Wyllie telegraphed her niece in Pasadena to go and identify the body—but there is no record that she ever did. Now, after the body was identified, Mr. Allen from Iowa responded to the police's telegraph. He explained that he knew Anderson Bernard, though he never met his wife, he sent the $25 as an act of charity. A few days later Mrs. Wyllie received a letter from her daughter. She was alive and well in Toronto. With the body now once again unidentified, it was embalmed and placed on display in the window of the undertaker, hoping a passerby might recognize her. Every day Victorian women came to gawk but no one could identify her. In Los Angeles, a maid by the name of Katie Logan had been missing since November 23rd. She had told her boss, Mr. Grant that she needed to sign some documents in San Diego and that she would return before Thanksgiving. Katie showed no signs of illness the day she left…and Mr. Grant claims she also didn't take any luggage with her. She left with only her satchel. She left a trunk behind in the Grant estate in Los Angeles which was then opened. Their contents revealed that yet again the woman was not Katie Logan, but instead Kate Morgan. Inside was a lock of hair, old photographs, a tin with the name “Louise Anderson” on it, and a marriage certificate of a Kate Farmer to Thomas E. Morgan. They were both from Hamburg Iowa. Kate had been married to Thomas but she left him for his stepbrother…G.L. Allen. Kate and Allen's relationship was fraught with its own dramas: Allen being a gambler and Kate a con-woman. Their most common trick was to have Kate flirt with wealthy men on trains. When the gentleman wanted to…take it to the next level…so to speak…Kate would say she would love to…if they could beat her brother in a game of cards. The two would then play a rigged game to swindle the lustful gentlemen of their cash. Allegedly Kate and Allen had gotten in an argument on a train leaving from Orange that led to Kate leaving Allen and taking up a position at the Grant home. The ‘brother' that Lottie was constantly asking for may have been Allen, but we cannot be certain. Her stomach pains were likely due to the fact she was pregnant and not cancer. The coroner called JW Chandler, Kate's grandfather asking what they should do with the body. He simple sent the money required and said “Bury her and send me the statement”. No one ever came to identify her as Kate Morgan. It was noted by one newspaper that the photographs of Kate Morgan from the trunk did not resemble the victim in the slightest. And where would a maid get such elegant clothes? Kate Logan dressed plainly. She was a maid. Why were the handkerchiefs in the hotel room embroidered with the name Louisa? What happened to the three trunks at the San Diego station? They disappeared before they could be opened. Most articles, blogs, and even the hotel's website do not mention these inconsistencies. They say that the woman was without a doubt Kate Morgan. I think the main source of confusion is the trunks. Most articles seem to indicate the trunk that was opened was from the San Diego train station. It wasn't. It was at the Grant home in Los Angeles. The “evidence” from the trunk didn't have anything to do with the dead woman. The photographs inside were said not even to resemble her. No of her family, nor the Grants went to identify her body. I read a book “Dead Move” by John T. Cullen. He tries to weave an intricate story that it was indeed Lizzie Wyllie who died and she was part of a large conspiracy involving Kate Morgan, the owner of the hotel Coronado, and James Dole…the founder of the Dole Food Company…and a plot to…overthrow the kingdom of Hawaii…or…something? I honestly couldn't finish the book. He seemed so desperate to sell this theory. At times it even seemed strangely aggressive…and…after coming across his blog page…I'm less inclined to finish his book. He goes on a diatribe about some other author rambling two paragraphs and it honestly reads like Donald Trump trying to discredit his naysayers. He even contradicts himself, here is a sampling: The Wikipedia entry for 'Kate Morgan' has been doctored by a person with a skewed agenda, so that I caution against trusting it. This individual, who pops up at every public forum where I attempt to discuss my results, is a smooth-talking purveyor of fractoids (details, either false or half true) taken out of context for the purpose of swiftboating a targeted researcher and his published results. His motivations are as hazy as his grasp on reality. It's simply in the nature of a story like this to attract the occasional crank, who can be as fanatical as religious zealots in the pursuit of their delusions, and therefore capable of Macchiavellian [sic] means in the service of their ends. A reasonable person will ask: "What on earth is the point? It's just a ghost story, after all, or a true crime story that most people barely know or care about?" In a disturbed mind, an entirely different scale of values may be at play. Hello, little colored pills and capsules, where are you when such persons need you? He misspelled Machiavellian, by the way.. He even goes on to attack other authors saying: As with the spurious Alan May book of 1987—which has planted so much misinformation in all sorts of rambling, un-fact-checked websites and ghost books—it is best to take most 'sources' under careful advisement. My own book rests on its own merits, and requires no defense from cranks. I am prepared to defend my thesis at the level of a doctoral monograph, so well-defined are my stated methods. So…here's my take on that: if your book could stand on its own merits…then let it. He said himself that a reasonable person would ask “What on earth is the point?” and that “In a disturbed mind, an entirely different scale of values may be at play” and I'm just leaving it there. Because he scares me. But if you're interested in the nitty gritty details, give his book a shot. It's very detailed, for sure, even if there is a lot of conjecture. However, I do agree with one thing: the beautiful stranger was not Kate Morgan. I don't know who she is, and we may never. My fan theory is that she was Sadie McMullen since the description is close and she was said to have ran off to California…but she wasn't released until 1893. So, there goes that. Hopefully one day the mystery will be solved…and Mr. Cullen will never listen to this.…the Menger Hotel found my podcast episode on them and I truly regret calling them an upscale Holiday Inn…although people who have stayed there told me that I wasn't wrong in saying so. So all that aside I hope you stuck around long enough to hear a little bit about the Beautiful Stranger's ghost. My favourite factoid is that the streetlamp above where her body was found never stays lit for long. The light almost immediately burns out and electricians can never give a reason as to why. I like this because an electrician found her body and I feel it goes full circle. Of course the room is also haunted, and to be honest, it's pretty par for the course as far as paranormal activity goes. Guests claim that she loves to mess with the electricity: making the television and alarm clock radio to turn on by themselves. The curtains in the room often move on their own accord despite the windows being closed and there being no draft and extremely cold breezes can also be felt in the middle of summer with no known source. Maids say that objects in that room, including the doors, move by themselves. Many presidents have stayed at the Del. On one such occasion, when H.W. Bush was staying there one of his secret service men had room 3312 and he was scared out of his mind. He ran down the front desk and begged for his room to be changed. Whatever happened, it was enough to scare a highly trained agent half to death. I hope you enjoyed today's episode!

It's possible the writing of this episode description was completely derailed by a philosophical discussion of Revenge of the Sith...a property that we don't even cover on this podcast...but two bits of description data were salvaged from Dr. Arkeville's lab: 1) Kit and Harper are particularly disparaging towards theater kids this episode, and 2) did this episode make your hosts MegOP for a moment? Perhaps. Topics Include: G1 And Speed Run, Thrumblecracker Real, Cockpit Watch Is Truly 24/7, Knock On Cyber Wood, I Dr. Arkeville, Shockwave's No Human All Drunk Dialing Policy, and As The Screamer Flies. Our them and outro is Remember (The Synth-Pop Song) by Unsound on Jamendo.

This week's episode is about electric animals! There are so many of them that I could only touch on the highlights. We start with the electric eel. It's not actually an eel but it is most definitely electric. This one has just read some disturbing fanfic: The oriental hornet is a living solar panel: The platypus's bill is packed with electricity sensors. I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried: Amphisbaenids are not electric AS FAR AS WE KNOW. Bzzt. Thanks for listening! We now have a Patreon if you'd like to subscribe! Rewards include patron-only episodes and stickers! Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I’m your host, Kate Shaw. This week we’re looking at electric animals! You’ve probably heard of the electric eel, but you may not know there are a lot of fish, insects, and even a few mammals that can sense or generate electric impulses. This is a re-record of the original episode with some updated information. All animals generate electric fields in their nerves and the contracting of muscles. Animals that can sense these fields are called electroreceptive. An electroreceptive animal can find hidden prey without using its other senses. To take that a step further, many electroreceptive animals can also generate weak electrical fields, usually less than a single volt—small electrical pulses or a sort of wave, depending on the species, that can give them information about their environment. Like a dolphin using echolocation, a fish using electro-location can sense where potential prey is, where predators, plants, and rocks are, and can even communicate with other fish of its same species. Of course, those same electric pulses can also attract electroreceptive predators. It’s hard being a fish. But in some cases, the animal can generate an electric shock so strong it can stun or kill other animals. The most famous is the electric eel, so let’s start with that one. The electric eel isn’t actually an eel. It’s a type of knife-fish related to carp and catfish. Some other species of knife-fish generate electric fields, but the electric eel is the only one that uses it as a weapon. The electric eel is a weird fish even without the electric part. It can grow over eight feet long, or 2.5 m, lives in freshwater in South America, and gets most of its oxygen by breathing air at the surface of the water instead of through its gills. It has to surface for air about every ten minutes or it will drown. That’s a weird habit for a fish, but it makes sense when you consider that many electric eels live in shallow streams or floodplains with a tendency to dry up between rains. Oh, and electric eels frequently swim backwards. A male electric eel makes a foam nest for females with his spit, and the female lays her eggs in it—as many as 17,000 eggs, although 1,200 is more common. The male defends the nest and hatchlings until the rainy season starts and the young electric eels can swim off on their own. The electric eel has rows of some 6,000 specialized cells, called electrocytes, that act like batteries to store energy. When all the electrocytes discharge at the same time, the resulting shock can be as much as 860 volts, although it’s only delivered at about one amp. I have no idea what that means because I don’t understand electricity. Since the electrocytes are all found in the animal’s tail, and electric eels are mostly tail, the fish will sometimes curl up and hold its prey against its tail to increase the shock it receives. This honestly sounds like something a villain from a superhero movie would do. The electric eel will also sometimes leap out of the water to shock an animal it perceives as a threat. You do not want to be in the water when an electric eel discharges. It probably won’t kill you unless you have a heart problem, but it could stun you long enough that you drown. And if more than one electric eel discharges at the same time,
I veckans avsnitt av Flora & Frida pratar vi om tampongmissöden, julgråt och vibrerande ägg.
