This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Standing just steps from the battlefield in Gettysburg, the The Historic Farnsworth House Inn remains a powerful reminder of the violence and sorrow tied to the Civil War. Built in 1810 and expanded in 1833, the home became a strategic refuge for Confederate sharpshooters during the Battle of Gettysburg, leaving its walls riddled with more than 100 bullet holes that remain visible today.Among the many tragedies associated with the battle is the death of Mary Virginia "Jennie" Wade, the only civilian killed during the fighting—an event some believe may be linked to gunfire originating from or near the house. After the battle, the Farnsworth House served as a makeshift hospital, adding another layer of suffering to its history.We explore the dark history and reported hauntings of the Farnsworth House Inn—a place where the echoes of war still seem to linger long after the guns fell silent.#TheGraveTalks #FarnsworthHouse #HauntedGettysburg #CivilWarHauntings #ParanormalPodcast #HistoricHauntings #GettysburgGhosts #HistoryandHaunting #ParanormalActivity #HauntingsLove real ghost stories?

Isn't Gettysburg history so interesting, the more you dig into it? We think it is. And this one is something we would have loved to witness.  In 1922, the US Marine Corps was fighting for its life. Many in Washington, including the Commander-in-Chief, wanted to disband the Marines even though they fought valiantly in WWI. So, the Marines campaigned to stay alive by showing the American People who they are and why they're needed.  General John A. Lejeune had two goals for the Marine Corps. He wanted Marines to become better fighters by learning from past wars and testing new ways to fight. But he also wanted the American people to see the value of the Marine Corps at a time when some people were questioning whether the country even needed it. Instead of holding military exercises in places far from the public, Lejeune wanted to bring the Marines to famous historic sites where people could watch them train. As Gunnery Sergeant Thomas E. Williams explained, the Marines could practice working with artillery, armor, and aircraft while also putting themselves in front of the American public. Gettysburg was a perfect place to do it. At the time, Gettysburg and other national battlefields were still controlled by the U.S. War Department. That meant they could be used for military training. General Smedley D. Butler took command of the Marine base at Quantico, Virginia, in June 1920. He is credited with the idea of holding these exercises on famous American battlefields. Butler believed the Marines could study the decisions made by Civil War commanders, practice their own skills, and give the public a chance to see the Marine Corps in action. The idea was simple: train the Marines while also showing Americans why the Marine Corps mattered. LBG Rich Kohr joins us to talk about this lesser-known event in Gettysburg's history.

There's a question on the U.S. citizenship test, question 74, that asks you to name one cause of the Civil War. The Government accepts three answers: slavery, economic reasons, states' rights. Saadia memorized all three. She passed. She became a citizen. And she never felt a single one of them. Then, on a detour from a wedding in Maryland, she spent an afternoon at the Gettysburg museum in ninety-degree heat and found a fourth answer that will never make it onto a flashcard. In this solo episode, Saadia walks through the exhibit that promised her the Civil War left America "a different people in everything," and traces what she actually found: an economy built on unpaid labor, a grievance politics that outlived the war that produced it, and two glass cases of brass buttons that map almost perfectly onto the country we still argue about every election cycle. It's America's 250th year. The stories told at a birthday party are the flattering ones.

Hello and Welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries Backroads. In tonight's episode we talk with author Kelly Boyer Sagert about her award winning book entitled: "Wells Waite Miller and Me. An 8th OVI Civil War biography". Her fantastic book chronicles the life of the Civil War veteran Wells Waite Miller and his heroic efforts to help the Union win the war. On July 3, 1863 at the Battle of Gettysburg, twenty-one-year-old Captain Wells Waite Miller of the 8th Ohio Voluntary Infantry fought in the bloody heat of Pickett's Charge as dying men fell all around him. Ultimately, though, his “bruised and undersized regiment” played a crucial role in the Union victory. Chosen to lead an outpost about one hundred yards away from the main Union line, against seemingly insurmountable odds, Miller and 150 courageous men faced down six thousand desperate Rebels. Fighting valiantly, they “broke an entire . . . brigade of the Army of Northern Virginia.” Miller nearly died from his wounds, and this book reconstructs and celebrates the life of this forgotten Civil War hero—and the incredible synchronicities that exist between his life story and that of the author.

America's Civil War reaches its bloodiest turning point as Abraham Lincoln carries private grief into a national struggle for survival.

Hear how the Gettysburg Address redefined the war, how Union victory reshaped the 1864 election, and how Richmond's fall led to Lee's surrender at Appomattox.

The girls are back, and this time, to ask two very reasonable questions. One, why would you invite a Gettysburg ghost into your home. And, two, why does the Christopher Nolan brother rumor have so much truth to it? First, Monique tells the story of Trina, a skeptic who went on a Gettysburg ghost tour during her honeymoon, mocked the whole thing and then jokingly invited an entity home like it was a refrigerator magnet. Her husband told her to take it back but she just had to double down. The haunting that followed was water-based and weirdly poetic: scalding showers, exploding water, light bulbs burning out near sinks, CPAP issues, pneumonia that made her feel like she was drowning, and eventually a black shadow figure sliding across the floor toward a pond. Lesson: respect the dead. Then Amy takes us into the real story behind the viral rumor about Christopher Nolan's “fugitive hitman brother.” The truth is messier: Matthew Nolan, the filmmaker's older brother, allegedly used the alias Matthew Oppenheimer while posing as an heir to the Oppenheimer diamond fortune. That alias pulled him into the orbit of Robert Cohen, a tax accountant tied to missing money, fake passports, a kidnapping, a brutal murder, an Interpol red notice, a prison escape plan, and a justice system that somehow still left Cohen's daughter without the accountability she deserved. This one has a strong AFHP moral of the story: stop being shitty while you're alive, because neither ghosts nor consequences are ever impressed with that behavior.

We know Abraham Lincoln as the eloquent, compassionate leader of a nation torn by civil war. But he had another, less visible side, equally central to his character and leadership: Lincoln was a master of party politics. Schooled as a Whig in the rough-and-tumble of Illinois electioneering in the 1830s, Lincoln skillfully navigated treacherous partisan crosscurrents and helped build the Republican party into a viable force. His decades of experience as a party leader proved invaluable to him as president and commander in chief during the Civil War. Matthew Pinsker's groundbreaking Boss Lincoln: The Partisan Life of Abraham Lincoln (W.W. Norton & Company, 2026) draws extensively on Lincoln's private correspondence to move beyond the marble icon and realize a flesh-and-blood character in Boss Lincoln. Behind closed doors he was shrewd and insistent, capable of deft manipulation, blunt intimidation, or thoughtful argument as needed. As a decision-maker he was attentive to detail but kept his own counsel and trusted his own acumen. His aides noted that in cabinet meetings Lincoln had the final say, and “there is no cavil.” Devoted to elections, he kept careful, handwritten tallies of party turnout, even gifting one to Mary Todd, another partisan, during their courtship. His hymn to democracy at Gettysburg in 1863 carried a partisan message to the political leaders gathered there: The fight for the union would take place at the polls as well as on the battlefield. Boss Lincoln often sacrificed candor for purpose. He used his White House meeting with Frederick Douglass in 1864, ostensibly about emancipation, to send a message to radicals about his need for their support. With emancipation and the war's outcome at stake, facing withering criticism from all sides, Lincoln won reelection by building a new political coalition through the Union party. Here was Boss Lincoln at his height, captured in absorbing detail in this indelible portrait of our greatest president. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we talk with Adam F. Buck, President of the World War II American Experience Museum. What began as the Buck family's private passion for collecting and preserving WWII artifacts evolved into a public mission more than two decades in the making. Today, the museum brings history to life through authentic WWII vehicles, uniforms, artifacts, immersive dioramas, educational seminars, guest speakers, and even hands-on vehicle experiences. Adam shares how the organization works to preserve, educate, and honor the stories of the Greatest Generation while connecting visitors to the experiences of Americans from Gettysburg, Adams County, and beyond.Staying on the topic of WWII, Peter shares the remarkable story behind a unique WWII oral history project that began with his brother, Hobart. Starting in high school, Hobart spent 17 years interviewing more than 200 World War II veterans, preserving their firsthand accounts before his untimely death. Peter later completed the mission by bringing Hobart's manuscript to publication.The result is a powerful book that captures the war through the voices of those who lived it. Designed for young adults, students, and non-military readers, it includes maps, photos, explanatory notes, and even a guide on how to interview veterans. With fewer than 0.5% of the 16.4 million Americans who served in WWII still living, this conversation highlights the urgency and importance of preserving these stories for future generations.

Drop us a note about the podcast. A single question runs like a thread through everything we talk about here: what are you waiting for? We start with Acts 22 as Paul recounts his calling, his repentance, and the simple, urgent command to obey God, then we pair it with Psalm 1's picture of a life planted by living water. From the first minutes, we're not aiming for vague inspiration. We're aiming for a clear look at how faith in Jesus Christ shows up in real decisions and real priorities.We also bring up a heartbreaking public case involving a missing teen and the broader failure of communities to protect children, using it to press a bigger point about moral courage and leadership. From there, the conversation turns to the closest proving ground most of us face every day: marriage and family. If we can give hours to phones, sports, TV, social media, and endless distractions but claim we have no time for our spouse, our actions speak louder than our words. Love is not a slogan. Love is time, attention, and the willingness to treat what matters to them as something that matters to us.We close with a reminder that courage and conviction are not new in American life, from a Medal of Honor story to reflections on American Christian heritage, including Herbert Hoover's use of Proverbs and Benjamin Rush's argument that the gospel shapes moral sensibility. If you care about biblical literacy, Christian marriage, family values, and the role of Scripture in public life, this one will challenge you and steady you.

In this final chapter of our Civil War series, we once again hear from historians J.D. Huitt, Dr. Brooks Blevins, and Dr. Louis Gallo to trace the final eighteen months of the conflict—from Gettysburg and Vicksburg to Grant's relentless Overland Campaign and Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House. Along the way, host Clay Newcomb examines how Ulysses S. Grant transformed modern warfare through his philosophy of total war, why Abraham Lincoln came to trust him above every other Union general, and how Grant's quiet humility shaped one of the most remarkable victories in American history. We also explore the humanity displayed at Appomattox, the myths surrounding the surrender, and why historians still debate the reasons the Confederacy ultimately failed.

An American Circus of Skulls: Paul Stob on Phrenology, the P.T. Barnum of Pseudosciences

“It's too easy to look back at sciences of the past and say they were all fools. The exact same thing is gonna happen two hundred years from now when people look back at us.” — Paul Stob on the lessons of phrenology Step right up. Over the road from P.T. Barnum's American Museum in 19th century New York stood the city's more metaphorical circus — the Phrenological Cabinet, where admission was free and you could hold a murderer's skull in your hand. After the Barnum museum, it was the second most popular show in town. Although back then phrenology — the supposed science of skull size and head bumps — wasn't seen as the province of tricksters or clowns. So who created this 19th century American obsession with skulls, who created the phrenology phenomenon? In his new book, Empire of Skulls, the Vanderbilt scholar Paul Stob tells the phrenology story through the wealthy Fowler family — Orson, Lorenzo, and Charlotte — who financed and promoted this American circus. It was the Fowlers, Stob explains, who shaped phrenology into the intellectual glue of 19th century American progress and convinced reformers like Walt Whitman, Susan B. Anthony, John Brown, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton of its social value. The appeal was self-improvement, that most American ideal. In Europe, your skull was your fate; in Fowler's America, you could supposedly reshape your brain like a bicep in order to grow new bumps. A gym for skulls. And, in P.T. Barnum fashion, it toured, bringing replica skull collections to the utopian communes of mid 19th century America. And in good (or bad) American fashion, this bunk often had a darker subtext with skulls pilfered from native burial mounds and, inevitably, a slaveholding phrenologist wing. Not everyone bought a ticket. Mark Twain visited Lorenzo Fowler's London depot incognito and was told his skull shape indicated an absence of humor. Three months later, he reappeared, this time as Twain, and got the reverse prognosis. But what finally killed phrenology wasn't Twain but the hitherto unparalleled bloodshed of the Civil War. Not even the Fowlers could glean much positive from the mountains of actual skulls at Gettysburg or Antietam. The circus had ended. Now it's the Fowlers who are the freaks. We gawk at them rather than their skulls. Step right up. The show must go on. Five Takeaways •       The Intellectual Glue of American Reform. From the 1830s to the 1860s — the era of reform — practically every movement to improve the young republic was led by believers in phrenology: abolition, women's suffrage, temperance, prison and education reform. Whitman, Susan B. Anthony, John Brown, Stanton, and Mott were all sympathetic; Orson Fowler barnstormed Massachusetts with his Amherst friend Henry Ward Beecher, who swore by phrenology for the rest of his life; John Brown Jr. worked at the Fowlers' Phrenological Cabinet until Bleeding Kansas called him west. The reason was one word: improvement. Even the enslaved, the phrenologists argued, must be freed — because every human being deserves the chance to improve.•       Curl Your Brain Like a Bicep. European phrenology said your skull was your fate. The Fowlers Americanized it: exercise a mental faculty, they taught, and the brain deposits new gray matter that literally pushes out the skull — self-improvement you could measure with calipers. Parents brought children for readings, returned years later, and found the head had grown just as prescribed: to the Fowlers, concrete proof. The ideal male head measured twenty-three inches around, the female twenty-two — women started in a different place, but nothing said they couldn't climb. And in 1843's Hereditary Descent, Orson made an argument radical for his century: that race mixing was a positive good for humanity.•       Second Only to Barnum. For three decades the Fowlers' Phrenological Cabinet at Clinton Hall — free of charge, unlike the American Museum kitty-corner across the street — was the second most visited tourist attraction in New York City. Visitors could hold a murderer's skull and feel for themselves why he killed, or trace the bumps of statesmen and writers. The empire was literal: the global skull trade of the era, from Samuel Morton's Crania Americana to skulls pilfered from native burial mounds, stocked the shelves. The Fowlers were millionaires, not billionaires — and Orson spent his share on a sixty-room octagon mansion, flagship of the 500-odd octagon houses he inspired across America.•       Twain's Two Visits — and the Birth of “Pseudoscience.” Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. said reading a brain through a skull was like reading the inside of a safe by feeling the knob — and coined the word “pseudoscience” specifically for the phrenologists. Mark Twain ran the experiment: visiting Lorenzo Fowler's London depot incognito, he was told his organ of mirthfulness was a divot; three months later, business card presented, it was off the charts. Stob still insists on calling phrenology a science — because that is how its era understood it, because it was more accurate than much of the competition, and because one of the fathers of American neurology emerged from the Fowlers' own circle.•       We Are the Phrenologists Now. What killed phrenology was the Civil War: three decades of promising heaven on earth ran skull first into carts of actual skulls, and the utopia of self-improvement died on the battlefield. But the impulse never did. Phrenology, Stob argues, was self-help before the word existed — and its descendants fill the airport bookstore: astrology, Myers-Briggs, the Enneagram, the genetic ancestry kit, all of them, in his words, scientifically garbage yet enormously significant in people's lives. The uncharitable reading of the past is a trap. In two hundred years, Stob warns, they will look back at our sciences of the self exactly the way we look at the Fowlers. About the Guest Paul Stob is Director of the Program in American Studies at Vanderbilt University, where he also teaches in the Department of Communication Studies and the Program in the Communication of Science and Technology. His research focuses on nineteenth-century American intellectual culture — religion, democracy, populism, and social movements.

Join us for a captivating journey into the unknown as we sit down with Cyn Shrader Hill — a renowned paranormal investigator, researcher, founder of Elk Valley Paranormal (EVP), accomplished author, and gifted storyteller from Fayetteville, Tennessee. With decades of hands-on experience investigating haunted locations across the U.S. and abroad (including Gettysburg, Alcatraz, the Winchester Mystery House, and the Tower of London), Cyn has captured compelling Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVPs), documented profound signs from beyond, and explored the shadowy realms where the living and the departed intersect. She is the author of multiple gripping books, including It's Not Goodbye – Signs from Beyond, They're Speaking. Are You Listening? My Most Compelling EVPs, Realm of Shadows, and Death's Doorstep.In this episode, Cyn shares her most unforgettable encounters with the paranormal — from comforting messages and visitations by loved ones who have crossed over, to unsettling interactions with angry or trapped spirits. She recounts personal experiences like a mysterious red-haired lady who appeared as a full bodied apparition, a dark cloud-like entity that left an ominous impression, and the terrifying sensation of being charged by an unseen negative force. These experiences highlight how signs from the other side often arrive with perfect — and sometimes eerie — timing.We also dive deep into care home and hospital hauntings, where activity seems to spike as the veil thins for residents nearing the end of life. Is the Hat Man — that shadowy figure reported worldwide in medical settings — truly “collecting” souls, or is something even more mysterious at play? Cyn explores different types of entities, from benevolent spirits to darker presences, and what these experiences reveal about life, death, and what lies beyond.Adding to the high strangeness, Cyn discusses local legends from her Tennessee home turf, including chilling accounts of the Flintville Monster — an aggressive, Bigfoot-like creature known for its foul odor, towering presence, and hostile behavior that has terrified residents for decades.Whether you're a seasoned paranormal enthusiast or simply curious about life after death, this episode blends spine-tingling tales, thoughtful insights, and genuine wonder.

The Bell Witch Cave in Adams, Tennessee, where a spirit claiming to be the witch of Kate Batts tormented the Bell family for years and, some say, retreated into a cave near the Red River. Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, where tuberculosis patients died in numbers large enough to require a body chute running down the hill and out of sight. The Myrtles Plantation, whose most famous ghost stories turn out to be false, though the apparitions on the grounds keep getting reported anyway. The Lemp Mansion in St. Louis, where four members of one brewing family took their own lives across five decades. Gettysburg's Devil's Den, the Stanley Hotel that inspired Stephen King, the Winchester Mystery House with its staircases to nowhere, Bachelor's Grove Cemetery outside Chicago, Yorktown Memorial Hospital in Texas, and the Villisca Ax Murder House in Iowa, where eight people were killed in their beds in June of 1912 and no one was ever convicted.Then the show turns to the houses that never made the lists. Nemacolin Castle in Brownsville, Pennsylvania, built on the site of a French and Indian War garrison and later a stop on the Underground Railroad. Tinker Swiss Cottage in Rockford, Illinois, a twenty-seven-room Swiss-style home on a limestone bluff where children's laughter is heard by staff who came in as skeptics. The McCune Mansion in Salt Lake City, where a little girl walks in and out of a mirror. Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin, where a fired servant locked seven people in Frank Lloyd Wright's home in August of 1914, set it on fire, and killed them with a hatchet as they tried to escape. And Prospect Place in Trinway, Ohio, built by an abolitionist who used a cupola signal light to tell escaping slaves that food and shelter waited inside — some of whom never left.

Gettysburg is remembered as the bloodiest battle ever fought on American soil. More than 51,000 men became casualties in just three days. But when the armies marched away, they left behind far more than broken fences and shattered lives. Hospitals overflowed with the dying. Mass graves disappeared beneath the earth. Families returned to homes stained with blood. Today, visitors still report phantom soldiers, silent field hospitals, mysterious figures among the rocks of Devil's Den, and an elevator that seems to open onto the summer of 1863.

The Devil's Ledger Week of July 13, 2026 Summer may be in full swing, but the strange stories never take a vacation. This week on The Devil's Ledger, Branden Morgan takes you from one of America's most haunted Civil War landmarks to the shadowy tunnels beneath Paris, where history—and perhaps something else—still lingers beneath the streets. In The Creepiest Thing I Heard This Week, we visit Pennsylvania's legendary Sachs Covered Bridge, a Civil War crossing steeped in stories of ghostly soldiers, phantom gunpowder, unexplained cold spots, and shadowy figures said to patrol the bridge more than 160 years after the Battle of Gettysburg. Then we head underground on The Devil Within, as Campfire Files continues with The City Beneath the City. What begins as an ordinary vacation to Paris becomes something far more unsettling when an American couple ventures into the infamous Catacombs beneath the French capital. Surrounded by the remains of more than six million Parisians, they discover that history may not be the only thing preserved beneath the City of Light. Over on Criminal Mischief, Carolyn returns with another investigation into the darker side of human nature. She still won't tell Branden what she's working on, so listeners will discover the mystery together when the new episode drops this Tuesday. On The Slippery, Nancy examines the heartbreaking wrongful-conviction case of Marilyn Mulero, whose coerced confession sent her to death row for a crime she didn't commit. It's a remarkable examination of Detective Reynaldo Guevara, false confessions, and the long road toward justice. Finally, in This Week in Horror, we spotlight Evil Dead Burn, the newest chapter in Sam Raimi's legendary horror franchise. A secluded family gathering becomes an unforgettable nightmare as an ancient evil transforms a reunion into absolute chaos. Stay cool, stay safe, and thanks for spending part of your week with us.

Newt welcomes bestselling biographer Walter Isaacson to discuss his new book, The Greatest Sentence Ever Written, a deep dive into the Declaration of Independence's most celebrated passage: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Isaacson traces how Jefferson, Franklin, and Adams collaboratively crafted and edited this sentence — including Franklin's pivotal change from "sacred" to "self-evident" — and argues it serves as America's enduring mission statement. Their conversation explores how Lincoln later invoked the sentence at Gettysburg to advance the cause of abolition, how the suffragette movement used it to expand women's rights, and why the 250th anniversary is a vital opportunity to use this founding ideal to heal today's deep political divisions. Isaacson also previews his upcoming biography of Marie Curie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For more than 50 years, Anna Deavere Smith has pioneered a type of theater built from real people's words, interviewing hundreds of Americans and then performing their words verbatim. Now she's telling a story from her own family with ‘Basil Biggs.' It's about her great-great-grandfather, a free Black man, who reburied the Union dead at Gettysburg and prepared the ground for Lincoln's most famous speech. Smith spoke with Tonya Mosley about how ‘Finding Your Roots' led her to this story and why she sees herself as an Americanist.
