It is the fourth episode in the highly anticipated 10th season, and is titled "Over My Dead Body". 2:06 In this episode of The Big Séance Podcast, I'll highlight the locations and stories that are likely to be featured in the upcoming Ghost Hunters episode. For historical information and background of the locations, I'll refer to Michael Henry's book, "Ghosts of St. Charles". Michael also has a site called StCharlesGhosts.com, where you can find information about the ghost tours that he leads in St. Charles. 3:49 I purchased my copy of Ghosts of St. Charles from Main Street Books, a super cute bookstore that just happens to be next door to one of the locations likely to be featured on Syfy. The bookstore has its own history as well. You can find Main Street Books on Facebook, where they're very active. Check them out! 4:53 A REALLY brief history of St. Charles, MO. 5:32 Elijah Lovejoy, Ebenezer Curtis, and the upstairs apartment in the Goellner's Printing building. 6:20 Dengler's Tobacco in the "Old Farmer's Home" 8:05 The spirit of Mollie at the Millstream Restaurant and Bar 8:51 The lost graveyard at the city park next to Lewis and Clark's restaurant. 9:45 The Mother-in-Law House and the ghost of Christina. 10:29 Michael Henry's official viewing party is planned for 8pm Central on September 16, at Llewelyn's Pub on Main Street.
