A grieving farmer's seance vow and a healer's vision of buried iron built the world's only school for talking to the dead — and left the town of Whitewater steeped in legends of witches, haunted cemeteries, and things that crawl out of the lake.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/HauntedWhitewaterREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/WD20260626B-HauntedWhitewater-transcript.txtFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Whitewater legend says that the bizarre experiments conducted at the Morris Pratt Institute of Spiritualism in Wisconsin, to communicate with the dead, have left the town cursed by witches and haunted by restless spirits. It's no wonder it has garnered the nickname of “Second Salem.” (Whitewater: The Second Salem) *** The Wild West had many drifters with troubled pasts. One found himself at the heart of one of the most infamous crimes in American history. Ben Kuhl went from horse theft, to stagecoach robbery, to murder – from notoriety to infamy – all in pursuit of elusive riches. Finally arrested and convicted due to a bloody handprint (The Last Stagecoach Robbery) *** Fred West was just a regular boy, or so it seemed. But behind closed doors, in reality, he was becoming evil incarnate. And upon meeting his future wife Rose, it only expanded his predatory predilections. Fred and Rose descended from petty crimes to unspeakable horrors of rape and murder – even of the most young and innocent. From their "House of Horrors" the depths of their depravity was acted out — hidden from site. But as the walls closed in and the truth emerged, the true horror of their crimes was laid bare.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: April 16, 2024This episode of Weird Darkness travels from a Wisconsin school built to teach the living how to speak with the dead, through the cellar of one of Britain's most notorious murder houses, to the last stagecoach robbery in American history and a gallery of history's most ravenous eaters.It opens in Whitewater, Wisconsin, where farmer Morris Pratt vowed during an 1880s seance to build a temple to the spirit world if he ever grew rich. A trance medium named Mary Hayes-Chynoweth steered him toward a barren tract on Michigan's Upper Peninsula that turned out to sit atop the Gogebic iron range, and the fortune that followed funded the Morris Pratt Institute, the world's only school dedicated to spiritualism, which locals nicknamed the "Spook Temple." Students studied clairvoyance, levitation, and psychic surgery in a three-story building whose white-painted top floor was closed to non-believers, and even agnostic Chicago attorney Clarence Darrow left it admitting he was mystified. The school later relocated to Milwaukee and still operates, but Whitewater kept its reputation, earning the name "Second Salem" for its tales of the axe-murdering witch Mary Worth in Oak Grove Cemetery, the inward-pointing spikes on the Starin Park water tower, the haunted Witches Triangle formed by its three cemeteries, and a tentacled creature said to have overturned a fishing boat on Whitewater Lake in 1923.From there the episode moves to Gloucester, England, and the crimes of Fred and Rose West, who tortured, raped, and murdered young women and girls across roughly two decades. Fred, born in 1941 and shaped in part by head injuries from a teenage motorcycle crash, killed his pregnant lover Anna McFall in 1967 and removed her fingers and toes, a mutilation he repeated on later victims including his first wife Rena Costello and his own daughter Heather. He and Rose buried nine victims beneath 25 Cromwell Street, the address the press called the "House of Horrors," and added Heather to the back garden. Detective Constable Hazel Savage's investigation finally exposed them; Fred hanged himself in his cell on January 1, 1995, and Rose was convicted of ten murders that November and handed a whole life order.Next the show heads to the snowbound mountains around Jarbidge, Nevada, where on December 5, 1916, drifter Ben Kuhl ambushed the Rogerson-Jarbidge mail stage, shot driver Fred Searcy in the back of the head with a .44 revolver, and made off with a mailbag holding four thousand dollars in cash. A stray dog led searchers to the buried money, and Kuhl's ivory-handled pistol marked him as a suspect, but the conviction turned on a bloody palm print found on an envelope from the coach, the first time such forensic evidence sent a man to prison for murder in the United States. Kuhl drew a death sentence later commuted to life, served nearly twenty-eight years, and died of tuberculosis in San Francisco in 1946 without ever revealing where the loot was hidden.The episode closes with a parade of history's most extreme eaters, from Georgian London's Edward Dando, who downed hundreds of oysters at a sitting and walked out without paying until cholera killed him in prison in 1832, to seventeenth-century Kentishman Nicholas Wood, who ate raw sheep wool and horns included. It runs through Roman emperor Vitellius, who vomited between courses to keep feasting and invented a dish of flamingo tongues and lamprey entrails; the corpulent King George IV, lampooned as the "Prince of Whales"; the geologist William Buckland, who tasted moles, panthers, and a preserved fragment of a king's heart; and Elvis Presley and his pound-of-bacon Fool's Gold Sandwich. It ends with the most disturbing case of all, the eighteenth-century Frenchman Tarrare, whose bottomless hunger drove him to eat stones, live animals, and raw offal, and who was expelled from a hospital after he was suspected of devouring a fourteen-month-old child.

Sheila Dillon heads out on the highway to investigate the world of food at motorway service stations. Historically they have been a place viewed as a functional stop-off for a "tea and a pee" and often maligned for the quality of their food. Motorway services enthusiast Dr David Lawrence from Kingston University talks through a short history of the Great British service station from Watford Gap and Newport Pagnell in 1959 through to present day.AA President Edmund King briefs Sheila on how his membership views motorway service food and Robin Markwell reports on the opinions of lorry drivers from Chippenham Pit Stop on the M4 in Wiltshire where more healthy eating options are now appearing on the menu. Dan Sutton from Roadchef - one of the largest motorway service operators - also gives his thoughts on what the British motorist is looking for when wanting to be fed on the motorway and argues that familiarity of brands is key.Sheila takes a trip to Tebay Services on the M6 in Cumbria to understand a different way of providing motorway service food. She meets the Dunnings family who have since opened services at Gloucester, Cairns Lodge in Lanarkshire and will soon open another at Tatton in Cheshire. Their ethos includes an emphasis on locally sourced, homecooked food. Sheila meets with their coffee and bread suppliers as well as touring their farm to understand how service areas might also be an engine for the local economy.Produced by Robin Markwell in Bristol for BBC Audio.

One more gem of a discovery while formulating my Black Madonna Mysterious Soul Companion course on Teachable, was finding a unique modern image of The Black Madonna of Chartres. I was so taken by it, I decided to follow up with the artist, who is a delightful person based in Gloucester, Massachusetts. She has an entire repertoire of Divine Feminine and Goddess images in addition to The Black Madonna, Isis and Makeda - The Queen of Sheba. The interview explores the inspiration and process that Ms Berger goes through where she allows the artistic expression to come forth.Baraka Robin Berger's work can be found through Etsy at Baraka Berger Art www.etsy.com/shop/ArtoftheGoddessShe also has a Facebook page at Baraka Robin Berger Fine Artshttps://www.facebook.com/p/Baraka-Robin-Berger-Fine-Arts-100031786642313/And Instragram at Barakanrobinhttps://www.instagram.com/barakanrobin/To order The Black Madonna Mysterious Soul Companion course on Teachablelivingpharmacy.teachable.com/l/pdp/the-black-madonna-mysterious-soul-companionTo order The Virgin of Guadalupe, Mysterious Messenger of Destiny on Teachablelivingpharmacy.teachable.com/l/pdp/the-virgin-of-guadalupe-mysterious-messenger-of-destiny#Blackmadonna #DivineFeminine #Art #SacredImage #Chartres #Labyrinth

In August 1817, a large serpentine creature was spotted off the coast of Gloucester by dozens, if not hundreds, of residents. Sure you've heard of Bigfoot and Nessie, perhaps even the Chupacabra and the Jersey Devil. But have you heard the famous Gloucester Sea Serpent? YES, the North Shore has its very own Nessie and it is perhaps the most well-documented and most-sighted cryptid of American legends. Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they discover the mysteries and the truths about what was seen in Gloucester Harbor over 200 years ago. How big was this thing? How valid were the reports? Did the serpent come to Salem? What exactly was it that visited Gloucester that fateful summer of 1817?

"When I heard the field recording of people milling around Gloucester Cathedral, the choir rehearsing with the organist, I liked to think of the many ghosts that (probably) reside in the cathedral and them weaving in and out of the congregation and choir, possibly into the organ as well, unbeknownst to anyone but themselves. "The organ samples have been retuned/detuned against an waltz time drum beat playing against a common time baseline."Gloucester Cathedral soundscape reimagined by Moray Newlands.

Episode 218:Last time I looked at the first part of ‘King Lear' from the opening scene where Lear makes his disastrous decision to split his kingdom between his children, through to the renowned scene where the ex-king and his fool are caught in a raging storm on the moor and saved only by the loyalty of Kent. On the way I looked at the deliciously evil Edmund, the poor judgement of his father Gloucester, and the scheming of Lear's oldest daughter Goneril. Now I will complete this look at the play and discuss it's place as a very Jacobean play addressing the concerns of its time when King James was working hard at an attempt to unite his disparate kingdom. The role, character and purpose of the FoolThe mock trial sceneThe blinding of GloucesterThe character and cruelty of ReganEdgar and Gloucester on the cliffs at DoverHope before tragedy as Lear and Cordelia are reunitedA family dispute as the heart of the playWhy Lear resonates so strongly with audiencesThe sense of ‘no place' in the playKing Lear as a message for King James The significance of the non-Christian setting of the playThe play as a tragedy and a history playA brief view of the later critical and performance history of the playA small selection of ‘King Lear' on filmSupport the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetpYou can find an advertisement free version of the latest podcast episodes by joining on Patreon at the lowest paid tier level – that's for just £1 per month.

Travis Colby is our guest on Thursday, from Gloucester as we continue our Virginia visit. Songs include Rather Not Know, Throwback and Look Out!

As the first day of the German invasion of Crete drew to a close on May 20th, 1941, neither side held the clear advantage they had hoped for — the Germans had failed to secure their primary objectives, while the British commander General Freyberg struggled with poor communications and an overriding fear of a seaborne invasion that would shape his decisions in the days ahead. This episode examines the Royal Navy's critical role in the battle for Crete, exploring both the strengths and significant weaknesses of Admiral Cunningham's fleet — including the limitations of their anti-aircraft systems against the Luftwaffe — and the aggressive positioning of British naval forces north of the island to intercept German supply convoys. The episode then covers two pivotal naval engagements: the night interception of the 1st Motor Sailing Flotilla by British cruisers and destroyers, which turned back the first German reinforcement convoy with the loss of at least eight vessels and 327 men, and the pursuit of the Sagittario convoy on May 22nd, which drew British ships northward into withering Luftwaffe attack and resulted in the loss of the cruisers Gloucester and Fiji, the Warspite damaged, and over a thousand sailors killed — a day that demonstrated both the courage and the cost of the Royal Navy's commitment to holding Crete.

In an exclusive in-studio interview, global superstar Jason Derulo joins DJ Pup Dawg to chop it up about his project, The Last Dance (Part 1), and showcase his new track, "Sexy For Me". Emphasizing the lasting value of traditional, face-to-face radio runs, Jason discusses how this project serves as a nostalgic celebration of his musical journey before he transitions into an evolutionary next phase. The two cover everything from Jason's dedication to keeping his focus strictly on the music rather than publicity stunts, to his viral social media grind during the pandemic, and the massive worldwide wedding success of "Jalebi Baby". The interview wraps up with a hilarious segment where Jason attempts to navigate a list of notoriously tricky New England town names like Gloucester, Worcester, and Haverhill. To stay locked into more big hits, catch DJ Pup Dawg on your fav station counting down the top30 songs of the week and if your station doesnt have it call them up and demand this show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the first time this season, Gloucester secured back to back wins in the PREM after a hard fought victory over Sale Sharks at Kingsholm. We chat through the game, the reffing and whether we may have been too harsh (probably, but it was definitely a knock on before the George Ford drop-goal). Are there possibly some embryonic signs of improvement for next season?Meanwhile, Glos-Hartpury continue their preparation for next season with multiple re-signings (and a departure) announced. We look ahead to the final weekend of the W6N and the last few games of the PWR campaign.Finally, while Ealing will be preparing for their CHAMP playoffs and potentially a move to the URC, we discuss Cornish Pirates new investment from across the pond and what that might mean for Gloucester.

Welcome to Tuesday's Rugby Daily, with Cameron Hill. Coming up, ahead of a huge game at the Aviva Stadium, the Ireland women's are hoping to become a regular fixture at Lansdowne Road. The one area that speaks to Munster's general lack of intensity ahead of a crucial weekend in the URC. The province confirm that they will commission an Independent Governance and Organisational Review,And could Ross Byrne be heading back to the URC after a difficult season at Gloucester?

The URC playoff race has officially descended into absolute carnage

His coach told him to keep the guns in the holsters. Ryan Lamb never listened. The cult Gloucester fly-half who helped light up the Premiership at just 20 years old joins Alex and Tins for a GBR classic. From locking a teacher in a cupboard to calling Stuart Lancaster "Steve", Lamby holds nothing back. He relives the iconic Bristol promotion playoff, his love-hate relationship with Dean Ryan, why he thought Premiership rugby was "quite easy," and what it's like running Plymouth Albion on their promotion charge. Honest, hilarious, and completely unfiltered - this one's not to be missed. 00:00

At The Flicks loves cinema.  We are not just talking films here, our passion extends to the buildings (cathedrals to us), they are screened in. Last year we explored that passion in detail when contributors and friends of At The Flicks told their stories of the cinemas they remember with fondness.  If you haven't heard those episodes, please go back and check them out, you will not be disappointed. So, you can imagine our pleasure when friend of the pod, writer and director Sam Pope from Imaginary Man Productions, shared his latest short film with us.  Called The Little Cinema In Gloucester, it's a documentary celebrating the independent cinema The Sherborne based in Gloucester in the UK.  A relatively recent cinema which was created by Mark Cunningham as a local alternative to the multiplexes.  While it has been a tremendous boon to the community, Mark has encountered problems along the way, namely COVID and the closure of all cinemas at that time.  Sam's film examines the recover from that dire period and in particular focuses on the Summer of 2023 – when two films ruled the box office – Barbie and Oppenheimer.  That pivotal moment is keenly captured here, along with interviews with Mark and some of his staff. Mark's love of film stock over digital is something we at At The Flicks wholeheartedly support, even if it's not practical these days. The other aspect of The Little Cinema In Gloucester that touched our heart was the nostalgic set up of the box office and the concession stand.  It sounds almost like an aside, but getting your tea or coffee (reasonably priced) in a mug is such a rare treat these days! At present, this short film is on the festival circuit.  We would recommend you to scan the details of your local film festivals and if The Little Cinema In Gloucester is playing, then it is well worth the effort to view – you will not be disappointed. One final comment.  It is such a wonderful documentary that we encouraged one of the At The Flicks team to prepare a review for you, our listeners.  That review is the subject of our next show.  So if you need further encouragement to track this film down, wait until you hear what Declan has to say. That show will be coming very shortly from At The Flicks.  Bye for now.

#117 The BBC's First Homosexual: a new play - with Dr Stephen Hornby and Professor Marcus Collins A special episode about a new play about on the true tale of Britain's first broadcast debate on homosexuality. We're outside of our moment-by-moment timeline (currently anchored in November 1923 - we return there soon) to highlight this under-appreciated moment at the 1950s BBC. After much deliberation, BBC producers planned and recorded an experimental discussion programme, but it wasn't broadcast until three years later, as an edited version called 'The Homosexual Condition'. The content may be rather shocking to today's ears, but progressive as far as its producers were concerned. The recordings are long lost, but the transcript survives and was discovered by Professor Marcus Collins (Professor of British History at Loughborough University) at the BBC Written Archives Centre. Marcus brought it to Dr Stephen Hornby (Lecturer in Drama and Theatre Practice at the University of Salford) who put pen to paper. They both join us this episode tell us how history met drama in this new play: The BBC's First Homosexual. It's on tour this year to Dublin and Edinburgh after a sell-out five-star-reviewed tour of England.

Fred and Rosemary West looked like an ordinary couple. A home in Gloucester. A family. A life that, from the outside, seemed unremarkable. But inside 25 Cromwell Street, a house later dubbed the House of Horrors, unimaginable crimes were unfolding.Together, they tortured, abused, and murdered young women, including members of their own family. Their victims were buried beneath the house, hidden in plain sight while the world carried on around them.In this episode, Geoffrey and Molly Wansell unravel the disturbing partnership at the heart of these crimes. A relationship built on control, cruelty, and silence.CREDITS: Presenters: Geoffrey and Molly WansellProducer: Peter Shevlin https://pod60.com/Artwork: George LeighMusic: Dan WansellCONTACT: Twitter: @BloodTies_PodInstagram:@bloodtiespodcastEmail: bloodties.podcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bloodtiespodcastSupport: patreon.com/bloodtiespodcastPlease complete our survey if you have time: http://bit.ly/bloodtiespodcast-survey Hosted on Acast.

In the first of this series, Marina explores the origins of one of Britain's most notorious killer couples — Fred and Rose West. From Fred's troubled childhood and his first murders in the 1960s, to Rose's deeply disturbed upbringing and how the two came together in Gloucester, this episode traces the making of two killers before the world knew their names.
