The Bethesda African Cemetery Coalition (BACC) has been fighting for eleven years to stop construction on top of a desecrated African cemetery and to build a museum to honor and educate about the erased history of the death camps that profited from the breeding of African girls, who are buried there, for forced labor. In what is considered a progressive bastion, Montgomery County in Maryland, not a single politician has supported their struggle. Clearing the FOG speaks with BACC co-founder Dr. Marsha Coleman- Adebayo about their efforts on the streets, in legislative bodies and in the courts and why their work is foundational to ending white supremacy.

I'd love to hear your thoughts - send me a text hereWorld War II continues in Europe and the Pacific, while Bob Dole continues to train on the home front and wonders if he will ever make it overseas, like his younger brother Kenny who is an experienced combat veteran by summer 1944. When Dole gets another chance to attend OCS and become an officer, he jumps at it - and this time he gets a class slot. The Army has a shortage of lieutenants and needs to quickly train more. Dole is happy to replace an LT but never stops to ask why so many need to be replaced.

In this episode, Dr. Farina King and guest co-host Dr. Kiara Vigil talk with the editors and contributors of the new book Lyda Conley and the Fight to Preserve Huron Indian Cemetery, which tells the story of a trailblazing Wyandot lawyer and activist who defended the burial grounds of her family and ancestors in Kansas City. This work focuses on the life and legacy of Eliza ("Lyda") Burton Conley, a Wyandot woman whose fight to protect her people's burial ground continues to shape how we think about federal Indian law, sovereignty, and memory in the United States. Lyda is widely recognized as the first Indigenous woman to argue a case before the U.S. Supreme Court, but as our guests remind us, she never stood alone. Her sisters Ida and Helena, and generations of Wyandot women, shared in the labor of defending their cemetery and their community, both in the courts and on the ground.Our guests—historian and educator Dr. Tai Edwards, Wyandot Nation of Kansas member and editor Stephanie Bennett, researcher and writer Samantha (Sam) Gill, and Wyandotte playwright Madeline (Maddie) Easley—discuss how their collaborative book brings together biography, archival documents, oral histories, and theater. They talk about reading newspapers and treaties against the grain, navigating access to scattered archives, and recording oral histories with living relatives and tribal leaders. The book offers not just a narrative of Lyda's life but a source reader and teaching tool that invites more research and classroom conversation.Together, the editors and contributors frame Lyda's story as a refusal to accept erasure—what they call “fighting for memory, fighting for honor.” Their work reminds us why this story matters now, in a moment when Indigenous lands, ancestors, and rights are still contested, and when community-based scholarship and art can help chart more just futures.The University Press of Kansas launched the Lyda Conley Series on Trailblazing Indigenous Futures several years ago named in honor of Lyda Conley. Kiara Vigil, Tai Edwards, and Farina King serve as co-editors of the series, and they have hoped for a book to acknowledge and highlight the life and work of Lyda Conley. Finally, that hope is realized with this new book.Resources:Order the book Lyda Conley and the Fight to Preserve Huron Indian Cemetery Samantha Gill, blog piece titled, “Lyda Conley: Women's History Everyone Should Know” (March 2026) “As a thank you for reading the UPK blog, enjoy 20% off this new book when you order directly from the University Press of Kansas website.

When she was sixteen, she spent the night at a friend's house that sat in the middle of a cemetery. Her friend's father was the caretaker, and because of the unusual location, everyone in town always asked the same question: was the house haunted?Her friend always said no.Late that night, while crossing the family room on the way to the bathroom, Lacey glanced out the window and noticed someone standing among the graves. At first, she tried to explain it away. Then she looked back.The figure was gone. The next morning, she finally mentioned what she'd seen, expecting her friend to laugh it off.Instead, she learned something that has bothered her ever since: She wasn't the first overnight guest to report seeing someone standing in that exact spot.#RealGhostStories #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #CemeteryGhost #HauntedCemetery #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalEncounter #Apparition #Ghosts #UnexplainedMysteryLove real ghost stories?

SHOW NOTES Baguio: An American Hill Station in the Philippine HighlandsToday on the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast, Senior Writer Chin Liang takes us up into the cool, mist‑wrapped mountains of northern Luzon to explore Baguio (BAG‑ee‑oh), the Philippines' original highland escape. While most of the country swelters in tropical heat, Baguio sits comfortably below 70°F year‑round — a climate that first drew American colonizers here in the early 1900s and still lures travelers today.Chin begins his day in Burnham Park, the century‑old civic park designed by famed American planner Daniel Burnham. A man‑made lake sits at its center, ringed with weeping willows and bright yellow daisies, where families paddle small boats across the water. The lawns, rose gardens, and skate ramps echo the classic American park style Burnham brought to cities across the world.Just across the street, Chin stops at Café by the Ruins, a beloved Baguio institution. Their signature crispy tapa — thin slices of beef marinated in local spices and served with mountain rice, eggs, tomatoes, and onions — fuels the morning's adventures.Baguio's nickname, City of Pines, becomes clear at Camp John Hay, once an American military recreation facility and now a sprawling eco‑tourism resort. Visitors can stay in forest cabins, ride horses, play golf, or wander the pine‑scented trails. Chin highlights the Yellow Trail, a favorite for shinrin‑yoku, the Japanese practice of forest bathing: feeling the bark of a tree, breathing in the pine needles, and walking slowly with a 5‑step inhale, 5‑step exhale rhythm.Inside the camp sits the historic Bell House, named for U.S. Army General Franklin Bell. Its polished wood floors and broad veranda preserve the atmosphere of early 20th‑century American life in the Philippines. Right next door, Chin discovers one of Baguio's quirkiest attractions — the Cemetery of Negativism, a playful lawn of cartoonish “gravestones” where visitors symbolically bury their bad thoughts.Back in the city, Session Road buzzes with life. Pastel‑colored American‑era buildings now house cafés, shops, and bakeries. When Chin visited, a full county‑fair‑style festival was underway: line‑dancing girls stomping in rhythm, locals in cowboy hats riding ponies, a beauty pageant beside an arm‑wrestling contest, and a singer belting out “Sweet Caroline” as the entire crowd — kids, parents, grandparents — sang along in perfect chorus.To understand the region's Indigenous heritage, Chin visits the Igorot Stone Kingdom, a massive stone fortress built without cement, echoing the engineering of the Cordillera rice terraces. Towers, terraces, and walls rise like life‑sized sandcastles — a tribute to the Igorot people and the builder's mother, a Cordilleran woman.Just north of Baguio lies La Trinidad, the strawberry capital of the Philippines. From November to May, visitors can pick their own berries and try local favorites like strawberry taho — warm soft tofu sweetened with brown sugar and topped with fresh berries — and strawberry ice cream. Nearby, the Valley of Colors bursts across the mountainside, hundreds of homes painted in bright hues like a giant mural. Locals say it looks as if “God spilled paint over the hillside.”With its cool air, drifting fog, pine forests, and blend of American history and Indigenous culture, Baguio remains the Philippines' beloved Summer Capital — a place to breathe, wander, and escape the heat.Listen to more episodes of the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast: Apple Podcasts: Spotify:Read more travel stories on GoNOMAD: https://www.gonomad.comFollow GoNOMAD on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gonomad_travel Mentioned in this episode:Check out all of our other travel podcasts from around the worldThis podcast is part of the Voyascape Travel Network, that brings together the world's best travel podcasts.

Homer's The Odyssey is widely considered to be the greatest epic of all time. So, how could you possibly make it more epic? Fill it with kaiju, that's how. Odysseus' journey home was already challenging enough, but what if instead of storms, sirens, and cyclopes, the gods sent monsters even more powerful than the titans? And what if Zeus sent the most powerful one of all to assist the king on his odyssey? It's like Homer said: "Of all creatures that breathe and move upon the earth, nothing is bred that is stronger than Godzilla."

In this episode, Kim Bearden, executive director of Elmwood Cemetery in Memphis shares how a search for a journalism job led her to Elmwood in 1998 and how the cemetery became what she now describes as her second home. Founded in 1852, Elmwood is the oldest active cemetery in Memphis and holds the stories of roughly 80,000 people. Bearden discusses the cemetery's role in preserving Memphis history, from yellow fever victims and Civil War burials to musicians, writers, civic leaders and everyday Memphians whose lives reflect the city's complicated past. The conversation also explores the practical work of running a historic cemetery, including monument preservation, tree care, records, tours, events and long-term planning as Elmwood looks ahead to a future with less available burial space. Bearden explains the meaning behind symbols found on Victorian monuments, shares stories of some of Elmwood's notable burials and discusses how historic cemeteries can help communities understand memory, grief, faith and the history of its people. This episode is sponsored by Premier Primary Care of Union City, Tenn.

Texas law is clear: A person has a right to access a cemetery, even if it lies within private property. “Any person who wishes to visit a cemetery or private burial grounds for which no public ingress or egress is available shall have the right to reasonable ingress and egress for the purpose of visiting the cemetery or private burial grounds” (Texas Health and Safety Code, Section 771.041). The law encompasses a person's right to visit the grave of a departed relative buried in a family cemetery on land that no longer belongs to the family. As developers of residential... Article Link

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Dr. Kate Burrows of the grassroots preservation organization in North Seattle called "Save Crown Hill Cemetery." Dr. Burrows founded the group with neighbors in December 2025. In this conversation, Dr. Burrows shares the good news - that her group's research and other work has apparently eliminated the threatened subdividing and development of a portion of historic Crown Hill Cemetery, which originally dates to 1903. She also outlines the work ahead, as the grassroots community group will to try and help secure the cemetery's future. CASCADE OF HISTORY spoke with Dr. Kate Burrows on Monday, June 1, 2026.

Joshua 12 is often overlooked as little more than a list of defeated kings, but beneath the surface lies a profound testimony to the faithfulness of God. In this message, we explore why this chapter is far more than an ancient military record. It serves as a covenant title deed, documenting Israel's inheritance and the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Together we examine the rise and fall of kingdoms, the repeated pattern of exile and return throughout Scripture, and the remarkable survival of the Jewish people against overwhelming historical odds. Why have so many empires disappeared while Israel remains? What does Joshua 12 teach us about inheritance, covenant, and God's sovereign hand in history? This sermon also explores the geopolitical significance of the land of Israel, the recurring opposition to Jewish restoration, and why every serious student of Scripture must wrestle with the modern regathering of the Jewish people after nearly two thousand years of dispersion. Joshua 12 is a cemetery of kings—but it is also a monument to the faithfulness of God.       Key Themes: Israel's inheritance as a covenant promise The rise and fall of empires Exile and return throughout Scripture The survival of the Jewish people The modern regathering of Israel Jerusalem and the nations God's faithfulness across generations "Empires that once looked eternal now exist only in museums. Yet the people of Israel still exist."

This week, we are diving deep into one of the most terrifying modern hauntings in American history: The Black Hope Curse. Imagine moving into your dream suburban home in Texas, only to realize the entire subdivision was built directly on top of a forgotten, historic cemetery. From unexplainable shadow figures and violent poltergeist activity to a bizarre string of sudden, tragic deaths among neighbors, this case proves that some graves refuse to stay quiet.

Straddling Multnomah and Clackamas counties, the Willamette National Cemetery is the largest cemetery in Oregon for military veterans, their spouses and dependent children. Even though it won’t reach capacity for 15 years, The Department of Veterans Affairs is already planning for expansion by possibly acquiring roughly 300 acres of farmland southeast of Salem.   Per reporting by the Salem Reporter, the agency announced last September it was conducting an environmental assessment of the property, a functioning vineyard located in the unincorporated community of Macleay. Residents there have expressed concerns to VA officials about impacts on water usage, traffic and the rural character of their farming community.     Earlier this month, Marion County Commissioners sent a letter to the VA echoing those concerns and urging the agency to find an alternative site. Gov. Tina Kotek has also now gotten involved by writing directly to VA Secretary Doug Collins to work with the commissioners to find a different location.    The Salem Reporter’s Hailey Cook has been following these developments and joins us to share more details.

What was once a place of remembrance has become something much quieter—and perhaps something more active.Paranormal investigator Jake Fife takes us inside the history of this forgotten cemetery, where reports of unexplained activity continue to surface. From the spirit of a young boy whose life ended in a tragic accident, to lingering echoes of war casualties and tuberculosis patients, the stories tied to this land have not been lost to time.Jake shares the experiences, the history, and what may still linger within the gates of George Pearis Cemetery. It's a look at what happens when a place is forgotten by the living—and what may remain because of it.#paranormal #ghoststories #hauntedcemetery #graveyardghosts #hauntedhistory #paranormalpodcast #ghosthunting #spirits #trueghoststories #thegravetalks #hauntedlocations #afterlife Love real ghost stories?

Oakdale Cemetery in Wilmington, North Carolina is another one of these cemeteries that is an outdoor museum. The level of trees also makes this an arboretum. Several years ago, I went on the Wilmington Ghost Walk and while doing that, I heard a story about a haunted building with a sad yet heartwarming story about a dog and his owner. The tour guide informed us that there was a special burial in their honor at Oakdale Cemetery and I decided that I had to check it out. What I found was an amazing and unique cemetery.

I'd love to hear your thoughts - send me a text hereBob Dole finishes the 1942-1943 school year at Kansas University and is almost immediately called up for active duty. His training timeline is changed multiple times - as does the military job he is training for - but once the Allies successfully land at Normandy on D-Day, he know that his time is coming. After being afraid that the war would end before he got into it, he is now sure he will be heading to the European Theater of Operation.

This episode contains discussions of murder, arsenic poisoning, the deaths of children, and historical criminal trials. Ifyou need to skip any portion, advance past that segment using your chapter markers. This EpisodeSeason 40 of Foul Play marks America's 250th anniversary by examining two cases that expose how the justice system treated killers differently based on wealth, gender, and class. This week: a double feature — one case from Texas, one from Pennsylvania, eleven years apart, and both asking the same question. Was justice served?In January 1877, a woman known as Diamond Bessie crossed a footbridge over Big Cypress Bayou in Jefferson, Texas. She never came back. Her companion — the wealthy son of a Cincinnati jeweler — walked away with her rings on his fingers and her luggage on his arm. What followed was one of the most contested murder trials in Texas history, in a town that was already losing everything. This is true crime at its most infuriating: a woman's life weighed against a powerful family's money.Then we cross to Philadelphia, 1888. Sarah Jane Whiteling, a forty-year-old factory worker's wife in a rear apartment on Cadwallader Street, lost her husband, her daughter, and her son inside sixty-seven days. The insurance companies paid out $399 total — $47 for her two-year-old boy. Arsenic trioxide was in every body. The prosecution called it wholesale murder. The defense called it insanity. The jury took two hours. This is historical true crime that doesn't let you look away.The VictimsDiamond Bessie — real name believed to be Annie Stone, born around 1854 in upstate New York — had built a life on her own terms in an era that gave women almost none. She worked in upscale establishments in Cincinnati, New Orleans, and Hot Springs, accepting fine jewelry as payment, which earned her the name everyone knew her by. Dark- haired, pale-skinned, with grey or steel-blue eyes that period newspapers described as striking, she was intelligent and charming by every account. She married Abraham Rothschild in Danville, Illinois on January 11, 1877. Ten days later, a Black woman named Sarah King found her body propped against a twisted oak in the bayou woods — fully clothed, stripped of every piece of jewelry, a single gunshot wound to her temple.The Whiteling victims were a family. John Whiteling, thirty-eight, worked as a streetcar conductor and factory worker. Bertha was nine years old. Willie was two. John died on or around March 20, 1888. Bertha died April 25. Willie died May 26. Sixty-seven days, start to finish. Each death had a doctor's signature and a natural cause on the certificate. None of those causes were arsenic. The bodies at Mechanics' Cemetery held the truth that the living room had hidden.The CrimesAbraham Rothschild — son of Meyer Rothschild, a prosperous Cincinnati jeweler — had been traveling with Bessie since meeting her in Hot Springs around 1875. On January 21, 1877, he bought two picnic lunches from Henrique's Restaurant in Jefferson, crossed the footbridge over Big Cypress Bayou with Bessie, and came back alone. He told the hotel staff she was visiting friends. The next morning he wore two of her large diamond rings to breakfast. Two days later he boarded the eastbound train with both sets of luggage. He was traced to the Capitol Hotel in Marshall, then arrested after shooting himself outside a saloon — blinded in his right eye — in Cincinnati. His family spent what contemporary sources called "no fewer than ten high-priced attorneys" on his defense, led by U.S. Congressman David B. Culberson. The first trial ended in a conviction and a death sentence. The Texas Court of Appeals threw it out on a procedural technicality. The second trial ended in an acquittal. The jury deliberated four hours.Sarah Jane Whiteling purchased Rough on Rats — an arsenic trioxide compound manufactured by Ephraim S. Wells of New Jersey — and administered it to three members of her household between March and May of 1888. Coroner Samuel H. Ashbridge ordered the bodies exhumed. Professor Henry Leffmann, a chemist, and Dr. Henry F. Formad, a pathologist, found arsenic in every body. A drugstore clerk confirmed the purchase. Sarah confessed. Her defense centered on Dr. Alice Bennett — the first female physician to lead a department at an American asylum, Norristown State Hospital — who testified that Whiteling suffered from "physiological insanity" linked to reproductive dysfunction. The prosecution answered with their own experts: Drs. Charles Mills and John Chapin, who acknowledged she was of weak mind but said she was not legally insane. The jury deliberated approximately two hours. Guilty. First-degree murder. Death.On June 25, 1889, at 10:07 in the morning, Sarah Jane Whiteling was executed at Moyamensing Prison in Philadelphia. She was the first woman executed in Philadelphia since colonial times. She reportedly appeared calm and believed she would be reunited with her children in heaven.Historical ContextBoth cases unfold during America's Gilded Age — that era of violent contradiction between spectacular wealth and grinding poverty. Jefferson, Texas had been the biggest riverport in the state until the Army Corps of Engineers removed the natural logjam on the Red River in 1873, and the railroad bypassed the city for Marshall. What had once shipped more than 75,000 bales of cotton annually was already hollowing out when Bessie's body was found. Reconstruction was collapsing across the South. Democrats had retaken the Texas state government three years earlier. In this context, the Rothschild family's ability to hire an army of lawyers — including a sitting U.S. Congressman — and purchase an acquittal reads as something beyond a legal outcome. It reads as a statement about whose life counted.In Philadelphia, 1888, a factory worker's full-year wages ran between $300 and $500. Sarah Whiteling collected $399 from three life insurance policies — nearly a year's salary — for the deaths of her husband and two children. The arithmetic is not subtle. Dr. Alice Bennett's insanity defense was, by the standards of 1888 forensic psychiatry, genuinely innovative — her theory of "physiological insanity" in women with reproductive dysfunction would later be examined in the *Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law* (Vol. 48, No. 3, 2020). But the jury didn't buy it, and Sarah Whiteling hanged.Together these cases are a portrait of American justice in 1877 and 1888: brilliant, broken, and priced according to what you could afford.Our Sponsors:* Check out Mood and use my code SHANE for a great deal: https://mood.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
