On September 6th, 1952, Betty Butler viciously murdered Evelyn Clark, while fishing at Sharon Woods. An argument occurred, and once they were back to shore, multiple witnesses saw Betty attack and drown Evelyn. No one denies Betty is guilty, not even Betty herself, but what happened to cause such a violent crime? Join us as we peel back the layers of this case and try to understand why Betty did it.

Queer Hauntings: True Tales of Gay and Lesbian Ghosts is a collection of eerie locales worldwide with a queer bent, combining historical fact and unearthly encounters from across the United States, as well as around the globe. From haunted bars in New Orleans to a haunted theater in London, this guide encompasses the other side of the supernatural. The stories range from the serious, from brutal murders in rural Georgia, to the light-hearted, including the male spirit who enjoys unzipping men's trousers at a British pub. Ghosts of legendary celebrities intermingle with ordinary individuals.Along with these queer spirits are many businesses, either gay-owned or catering to a gay/lesbian clientele, experiencing hauntings. Clubs and bars hide more than shy young lovers in their darkened corners. Countless bed and breakfasts have otherworldly guests staying the night. Behind the shadows and doors of societal homophobia hide find pink phantoms and lavender apparitions in cities and towns spread across the globe.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Queer ghosts are nothing new, even if our conversations about them are. And for Ken Summers, phenomena involving LGBTQ+ has been a long research journey. He is author of "Queer Hauntings: True Tales of Gay and Lesbian Ghosts," and in the latest Talking Strange, Summers talks about historic haunts within the queer community (such as Aleister Crowley's home), as well as cheeky, jealous ghosts. We also explore other queer entities, deities, and folklore. Also, Ken gives his advice to Kristen Stewart for her gay ghosthunting show.

Hey Everyone! It's Bridget Marquardt here with a brand new episode of Ghost Magnet! Todays guest is Ken Summers. Ken has long been fascinated by the most obscure, forgotten, and unusual stories and incidents related to the paranormal. That quest for the strangest of the strange developed into a blog series of “Queer Paranormal Road Trips” in 2008. This questioning of the sexualities of specters led to his last book, Queer Hauntings: True Tales of Gay and Lesbian Ghosts, published in 2009. Currently, he's busily at work researching for a follow-up book, once again delving into the mysterious realm where ‘weird' and ‘queer' blur together. Whenever possible, Ken puts his vast knowledge of “useless information” to use in the form of tours, lectures, or writing. Some of his work can be found on Week in Weird. He was also editor and a contributor for Haunted Akron. Plus “Imaginary Friends,” an all new Ghost Report by Lisa Morton, this week on Ghost Magnet! #QueerGhosts #ImaginaryFriends #HauntedOhio
A new report finds old mines on the path of a proposed road in Guysborough County could cause environmental problems if disturbed. We hear from Ken Summers, an author behind the report.
Ken Summers is a paranormal researcher, history aficionado, part-time traveler, variegated artist, and purveyor of strange tales and forgotten hauntings. The ever-apologetic creator of the “orb color chart,” he has always endeavored to balance open-minded fascination and humor with logical questioning in the pursuit of truth. Unlike many self-described experts in the field, he isn't afraid to admit that he doesn't have all the answers, and where others argue over the existence of ghosts, UFOs, Sasquatch, and other mysteries, Ken sees the true value of supernatural stories as a means of keeping interesting, forgotten history alive.Ken has long been fascinated by the most obscure, forgotten, and unusual stories and incidents related to the paranormal.

This week we had the absolute pleasure of being joined by friend of the pod, historian extraordinaire and dabbler of the occult, Laura Alston. Laura joins us as a ghost enthusiast to talk all things spooky this season in our very special Halloween episode. We chat about our own experiences with ghosts and Laura takes us through some of the different explanations for those spooky sensations we all experience. Mostly, Laura helps to remind us that most ghosts don’t want to cause harm and we can learn a thing or two about life and what lies beyond it by approaching the veil between worlds. We talk queer ghost stories and Laura reads us the history of the ladies of Llangollen from stunning book, ‘Queer Hauntings’ by Ken Summers. We discuss the phenomenon of Halloween often being described as Gay Christmas and the dangerous notion of queerness being displayed as otherness. Plus, we get a sneak peek into the world of Laura’s pendulum and the importance of channelling your own energy to garner answers to questions in your life. We also have time to cover the latest adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s ‘Rebecca’ from Netflix, with it’s notorious queer coding of Mrs. Danvers and the true gay icon of the film- Rebecca’s bedroom.

1 Corinthians 10:13 by Ken Summers
Have you ever wondered what life would be like if everything went your way, if you never a bad day? If you never had a difficult situation or tough moment that you had to go through. As unrealistic as that sounds, still it would be nice though, right. So if we can’t have that, what if you had a straightforward guide for responding and dealing with those tough moments in life. That's what you will get on today's episode as guest Ken Summers a West Nile Virus survivor discusses with Men Unplugged host, Jeff Jerina, today. Key Tips: You may have a debilitating condition but as a believer in Jesus Christ, your condition does not have you. God has the final say in your life. When you are facing a crisis it’s not time to be prideful. It’s time to accept the help from others.

Proverbs 3:5-7 by Ken Summers
Ken Summers, author of Queer Hauntings: True Tales of Gay and Lesbian Ghosts, shares with us how he found himself investigating ghosts and spirits who are gay, lesbian, transgender or bisexual. An intriguing line of thought because most paranormal investigators ignore or miss obvious signs in this regard, yet never miss discussing the past heterosexual romances and relationships of the lives of those who now haunt us. Ken also explains his orb color theory, and his regrets for his past lines of investigations including orbs in general. Ken also suspects that a number of individuals during the Spiritualist movement may have used their mediumship as a way to express their sexuality without condemnation. https://moonspenders.com/Ken Summers is a paranormal researcher, history aficionado, part-time traveler, variegated artist, and purveyor of strange tales and forgotten hauntings.

Meanwhile, secret archaeological excavations are routinely funded by shadowy organizations and multinational corporations.What are they hiding? Popular beliefs range from the mundane to the fantastic; evidence of giants, extraterrestrials, ancient technology, and so on. Humanity has a right to know the truth. By keeping it cloaked in secrecy, all we have gained is increasingly extraordinary speculation.Please check out our other pages and social media!https://kgraradio.com/paranormal-now/https://www.paranormalnow.netTwitter: https://twitter.com/Paranormal_NowIG: https://www.instagram.com/paranormalnow/YouTube-Paranormal Pop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz2FIUUshS8
