This week we are discussing The Dead Files “Ghosts of Deadwood” (Season 3 Episode 11) which aired January 10, 2014. We also talked about the Wild West, belief systems, pickled eggs, and what happens when you swing a hammer. So, grab your duster and join us where… The Activity Continues. And remember, never sit with your back to the door. Audio Note: Apologies for the plosives. We were using different mics and forgot to use pop filters. Tried to fix it in post, but I couldn't catch them all. Content Warning: In this episode we mention suicide, death by hanging, so trigger warning for those who need it. Also, while Amy and Steve's swears are bleeped on TV, ours are not. The Activity Continues is a paranormal podcast where soul friends, Amy, Megan, and AP chat about true crime, ghost stories, haunts, dreams, and other paranormal stuff including the TV show, The Dead Files. Our recaps are full of reoccurring jokes about reoccurring tropes. We also occasionally do interviews with people from the paranormal world, with the goal of learning from others. We think you'll really benefit from the things these people have to say. Sometimes we get a little scientific. We enjoy trying to come up with possible explanations for some of the things that the clients experience. But this by no means indicates that we do not believe the clients or are invalidating their experiences. We do believe. This episode was recorded on December 15, 2024 released on January 30, 2025. Chapter Markers00:00:00 Intro00:00:39 Hello!00:02:11 Content Warning & Housekeeping00:03:37 Megan talks about the Universe00:06:11 Overview00:08:15 Segment One – The Setup00:42:56 Segment Two – Diggin' Tru01:09:47 Segment Three – The Reveal01:20:17 Final Thoughts01:22:12 Goodbye - Outro Episode links:The Dead Files Official Podcast: https://shows.acast.com/the-dead-files/episodes/ghosts-of-deadwoodTimeline in Deadwood: https://www.deadwood.com/history/history-timeline/ Maggie Broadwater: https://www.cowgirlmagazine.com/wild-women-of-the-west-madam-belle-haskell-and-the-demise-of-maggie-broadwater/Paranormal Investigation there : https://homespunhaints.com/fairmont-hotel-ghost-tour-review-most-haunted-places-deadwood-sdJerry Bryant Obit: https://lawrencecountyhistory.blogspot.com/2015/01/lchs-past-president-jerry-bryant-dies.htmlVinegar Rowan: https://chrisenss.com/madam-benny-fowlers-open-secret/ Books:An Open Secret: The Story of Deadwood's Most Notorious Bordellos by Chris Enss: https://amzn.to/41IRJHlDeadwood's Al Swearingen: Manifest Evil in the Gem Theatre by Jerry Bryanthttps://amzn.to/41weiyL*Amazon links could generate a small commission to us at no cost to you. Disclaimer:This podcast is in no way affiliated with Warner Brothers, HBOMax, the Travel Channel, Painless TV, or the TV show The Dead Files or any of its cast or crew.

Tonight, we sit down with my special guest author and researcher Chris Enss who is an amazing researcher on the history of the Old West and she shares the story of the legendary Doc Holiday's love interest Mary Kate Cummings aka Big Nose Kate and her life during the Wild West.     *2020 Will Rogers Medallion Award Winner (Western Biographies)*   Doc Holliday's paramour Big Nose Kate could never get a publisher to give her the big bucks she demanded to tell the story of her life, but that didn't mean she didn't collect material she wanted to use in a biography. Over the fifty years Mary Kate Cummings, alias Big Nose Kate, traversed the West she saved letters from her family, musings she had written about her love interests, and life with the notorious John Henry Holliday. Using rare, never before published material Big Nose Kate stock-piled in anticipation of writing the tale of her days on the Wild Frontier, the definitive book about the famous soiled dove will finally be told.   Kate claims to have witnessed the Gunfight at the OK Corral and exchanged words with the likes of Wyatt Earp and Josephine Marcus. There's no doubt she embellished her adventures, but that doesn't take away from their historical importance. She was a controversial figure in a rough and rowdy territory. What she witnessed, the lifestyle she led, and the influential western people she met are fascinating and represent a time period much romanticized.Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO WitnessesFollow Crime Watch WeeklyFollow Paranormal FearsFollow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle StoriesJoin our Patreon for ad-free listening and more bonus content.Follow us on Instagram @mysteriousradioFollow us on TikTok mysteriousradioTikTok Follow us on Twitter @mysteriousradio Follow us on Pinterest pinterest.com/mysteriousradio Like us on Facebook Facebook.com/mysteriousradio

Men may have done the survey work and laid the track, but there's a lot more to a railroad than steel rails and flanged wheels.  In this episode, author and western researcher Chris Enss describes the role women have played in railroading, dating from the industry's earliest times. Women were among the first telegraphers, as well as inventors of game-changing devices like the crossing gate and refrigerator car, plus creators of a myriad of inventions and means to make travel more safe and comfortable. Some worked to create a mystic allure of the West as a destination, building an interest in vacation train travel, even serving as railroad-employed tour guides at the destination. Not all women involved with the trains were on the railroad payroll, but the robbers and ladies of negotiable virtue all fit into the story as well. Chris Enss is a New York Times best selling author who has written over fifty books about women of the West, and was the recipient of the Will Rogers Medallion Award for best nonfiction Western for 2015.  Chris Enss book on this subject is called "Iron Women" and is available on Amazon.

Tonight, my special guest is author and historian Chris Enss who's here to discuss the Wild West and what was considered to be the greatest possse of all time. Future legends of the Old West, Charlie Bassett, Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, and Bill Tilghman were the lawmen who patrolled the unruly streets. When a cattle baron's son fled town after the shooting of the popular saloon singer named Dora Hand, the four men--all experts with a gun who knew the harsh, desertlike surrounding terrain--hunted him down like "Thunder Over the Prairie." The posse's ride across the desolate landscape to seek justice influenced the men's friendship, their careers, and their feelings about the justice system. This account of that event is a fast-paced, cinematic glimpse into the Old West that was. Want more paranormal episodes?
