This week I am reeading from Marc Hartzman's book 'Chasing Ghosts: A Tour of Our Fascination with Spirits and the Supernatural'.Take a spirited tour through the supernatural history of America, from its haunted sites to its famous ghosts to its ghost-obsessed pop culture.Ghosts are everywhere—whether you believe in them or not. Every town has its local legends, and countless books, movies, and TV shows are haunted by their presence. But our obsession with ghosts runs deeper than we know—and is embedded in the very fabric of American history. Writer and historian Marc Hartzman takes readers on a fascinating journey through supernatural history, including: • The Fox Sisters and the rise of Spiritualism • The supernatural obsessions of famous figures like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle • Famous haunted sites like the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia and the LaLaurie House in New Orleans • Famous ghosts like the Bell Witch of Tennessee and the Greenbrier Ghost of West Virginia • Paranormal investigators like Ed and Lorraine Warren Deeply researched and highly entertaining, with archival images and black and white illustrations, Chasing Ghosts will satisfy believers and skeptics alike. BioABCnews.com has called Marc Hartzman "one of America's leading connoisseurs of the bizarre" and George Noory from Coast to Coast AM said he's "as bizarre as Robert Ripley." Hartzman considers both high compliments since his passion for the unusual started with Ripley's Believe It Or Not and the annual Guinness World Records books during his youth. In addition to his books about Mars, Oliver Cromwell's embalmed head, weird things on eBay, sideshow performers, and unorthodox messages from God, Hartzman has written for Mental Floss, the Huffington Post, AOL Weird News, and Bizarre magazine. He's discussed oddities on CNN, MSNBC, Ripley's Radio, and the Travel Channel's Mysteries at the Museum. More of his love for the unusual can be found on his site, WeirdHistorian.com. Outside of these projects, Hartzman earns a living as an award-winning advertising creative director.Amazon link http://tinyurl.com/287bucx3https://www.marchartzmanbooks.com/https://www.weirdhistorian.com/https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/pastlivespodcast

The story of the Lalaurie mansion in New Orleans is part true atrocity tale and part urban legend, so naturally, it ended up as a ghost story. In this episode, Matt discusses how these legends form, how they can misinform us about the past, and how ghost stories can sometimes soothe us into a false sense of security about who we are and what values we hold.

It's March Madness at History Goes Bump! This Haunted True Crime is being made available to everyone. When you become an Executive producer at the $5 and above level, this is the kind of bonus material you get. From the outside, the Lalaurie family appeared successful, glamorous and respected. And why wouldn't they? Leonard Louis Lalaurie was a doctor and the home he shared with his wife Delphine was furnished in the trendiest styles that spared no expense and paintings from famous artists hung on the walls. Lavish parties were hosted on a regular basis at the Lalaurie home. But behind the facade was a terrible secret. The deeds of Delphine Lalaurie would inspire nightmares and the tragic emotions left behind have spawned tales of hauntings leaving many to claim that the Lalaurie House is the most haunted location in New Orleans.
