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.

Claire joins us to talk about her initial recruiting journey as a Level 10, where she dealt with a lot of injuries and didn't receive much interest from schools. She also talks about being dismissed from the team at Whitewater and making the decision to enter the transfer portal. Claire eventually found her home at Wisconsin Stout and is a great example of perseverance and dedication in continuing to do the sport she loves.Thank you to our monthly Patreon supporters: Lee B, Cookiemaster, Happy Girl, Erica S, Semflam, Amy C, Maria L, Becca S, Cathleen R, Faith, Kerry M, Derek H, Emily, Sharon B, MSU, Kimberly G, Lela M, Mara L, Jenna A, Alex M, Dana, Lidia, Maria P, Alicia O, Cristina K, Hayley B, Bethany J, Kentiemac, Marni S, Betny T, Emily C, Cathy D, Lisa T, Libby C, Thiago, Debbie, Taryn M, Amy M, Jamie S, Chuck C, Kaitlin, Susan P, LFC_Hokie, Ella, Kay, Julie B, Austin K, Jane, Sarah, Amy, Stephen S, Johanna T, Alison S, Alberto D, Kristina T, Abigail W, Jennifer K, Kate M, Naomi S, Claudia L, Erin L, Thomas B, Lauren D, Kihika M, Beth C, Amy, Renee PM, Ryan V, Brandon H, Okcaro, Tyler, Paola, Heather, Kate, Danielle, ALittleUnderRotated, Lacy, Dana C, Grace, Pat G, Lexi G, Laura N, Kathy, Katie A, Róisín, Megan J, Emily D, Britton, Ry Shep, Reyna G, William A, MB, Jackson G, Stella, Ulo F, Noah C, Melissa H, Alexis, William M, Susie, Leslie G, Catherine B, Laura L, Katy S, Kathy M, Kathy S, Okcaro, JD B, Cookiecutter, SuniFan, Caroline M, kcmojojojo, Sammy S, Fabio B, Lacie M, Sara G, Kerry H, Leah D, Margaret G, Molly, ClemsonTigersFan, Lisa B, Sarah M, Grace M, Laura A, Justin D, Jas, Kendrick C, Rich A, Ty T, Nick S, Becky E, Annsley M, Melody M, Stacey M, Erica H, Kathy, Teressa, Angela C, Bridgett C, Ashley D, Whitney J, Shelly A, Erika B,DFP, Lisa M, & Samantha T!
This week, in Whitewater, Colorado, a horribly murdered man sparks an investigation that shows that someone may have been after him for a while, even trying to blow up his car, weeks before his death. But a threatening note to his widow, claiming "you're next" blows the case wide open, leading to a treasure trove of evidence. The suspect turns out to be the last person that the dead man would've expected, and it also turns out that this murderer has no depths to which they will not sink!! Along the way, we find out that there are an awful lot of ghost stories in the mountains, that when someone tries to blow you up, you should maybe be pretty curious to find out who did it, and that cutting a barcode off of a card doesn't mean it's not traceable!!

Last week, we attended the announcement for Carowinds' new-for-2027 record-breaking water attraction Rip Roarin' Falls. Like many media events, there is the opportunity to interview people from the park and the manufacturer during the event, but to be cognizant of everyone's time - including other people who might have questions - sometimes you need to keep those interviews brief - not ideal for a podcast. Fortunately, after chatting for a few minutes with David Chesney, who is a water ride engineer for Whitewater, the manufacturer of Rip Roarin' Falls, I knew that we needed a longer conversation - and just a week later, here we are. David takes us through his career in the industry, Whitewater's reimagining of the classic log flume, and everything else - even beyond the three World Records - that's going to make Rip Roarin' Falls an amazing addition for Carowinds. (For the coaster nerds out there, there's even a little conversation about one of David's first-ever coaster projects - a backyard coaster he build in his late teens!)

Photo courtesy Heard Museum / Facebook The Heard Museum in Phoenix, Ariz. remembered Indigenous servicemembers, who made the ultimate sacrifice, during a Memorial Day observance. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more. On this hot Monday morning, Kiowa-Comanche singer Kenneth Cozad Sr. chants a series of honor songs. Each melody is meant to pay tribute to the fallen as the Oklahoma native beats upon a drum made from rawhide. One of his patriotic tunes is called “Star and Stripes”. It is inspired by World War II Kiowa Code Talker Leonard “Red Wolf” Cozad Sr. “My grandpa, he had a thought came to him about this flag here that our folks fought for this red, white, and blue, he said.” For Cozad, he's thankful to share his music. “Because we don't just be singing songs, just to be singing them, there's always has to be a purpose.” Visitors of the exhibition, “Arctic Marine Science: Sikuliaq to Shore”, can learn about various science instruments used by Sikuliaq research crews to study the environment. (Photo: James Daggett / Alaska Public Media) A new exhibit at an Alaska museum takes visitors inside an Arctic research vessel. Since opening last week, it has given guests a chance to glimpse at what it is like to study the Arctic marine ecosystem – and how Indigenous communities shape that research. The Alaska Desk’s Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA has more. Rachel Boesenberg is associate curator at the Anchorage Museum. She is walking under a tall crane, with deep blue all around her. “So you enter here through the stern of the vessel.” Boesenberg is giving a tour of the new exhibition called Arctic Marine Science: Sikuliaq to Shore, which brings the audience aboard a replica of the research vessel Sikuliaq. Visitors make their way onto the bridge. Here, the captain’s chair faces a ceiling-high projector screen with a vast ocean that changes from stormy swells to chunks of pancake ice. “We’re looking off the bow of Sikuliaq, which visitors at this point have walked through.” Sikuliaq is operated by the University of Alaska Fairbanks and owned by the National Science Foundation. Each year, dozens of scientists board the vessel to study the Arctic. Brendan Smith is the communications director at the North Pacific Research Board. He dreamed up the idea for the exhibition. “I said to myself, what if we bring the Sikuliaq … into the museum? How do we give people an experience that makes them feel like they’re out at sea?” The result is an immersive experience, focused on how the ship is used to study the environment, and the people who bring that knowledge to life. And there is a station with Arctic soundscapes. “That’s a bowhead whale.” Boesenberg says these are the sounds that scientists gather using hydrophones they deploy from the real vessel. Harmony Jade Sugaq Wayner is an Indigenous scholar from Naknek in Southwest Alaska. She consulted on the exhibition and suggested curators include what Arctic research means for Alaska Native people. “We see a lot of big graphs about climate change and the extent of sea ice and those big global processes, but we don’t see the joy of living our culture in coastal Alaska and river Alaska.” The exhibition runs through April 2027.

Today host Aaron Millar is sharing a bucket list bit of madness — literal adventure insanity he got up to about 15 years ago in the Scottish Highlands. It's called the Glen Nevis River Race, and it involves hurling yourself down two miles of white-water rapids with nothing but a novelty inflatable for company.Picture part extreme white-water adventure, part Monty Python's Navy — competitors arrive bearing giant inflatable swans, killer whales, dinosaurs and, for one unfortunate soon-to-be husband, a blow-up doll. It's one of those rare, acutely British moments when only the preposterousness of your situation matches the bravado required to see it through. And Aaron has never, ever laughed so hard in his life.Highlights include:Hearing what it feels like to stand on the edge of a thundering 40ft waterfall, inflatable lilo in hand, with a crowd screaming at you to jump.Discovering what it feels like to be swept into a churning cauldron of white-water with nothing but an inflatable air mattress to keep you afloat.Finding out about the world's most wonderfully ridiculous outdoor adventures — including World Bog Snorkelling, Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling, and the Frozen Dead Guy Days festival.FIND OUT MOREThe Glen Nevis River Race is an annual summer event held in Glen Nevis, Scotland, raising money for the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team.

Alright guys… this one's interesting
Whitewater kayaking naturally pulls us into the present moment. When you're paddling a rapid, your senses sharpen, your mind clears, and you're fully focused on the line ahead. But what if you didn't have to wait for a rapid to access that state? In this solo episode of The Discomfort Zone Podcast, I share simple mindfulness and breathwork practices that help paddlers reset their nervous system, quiet negative self-talk, and stay calm and focused — both on the river and in everyday life. These practices come directly from Week 7 of the Mental Agility Mastery 8 Week Course, where participants train their ability to pause, reset, and respond skillfully when things don't go according to plan. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why paddling naturally creates a powerful mindfulness state • How mindfulness helps you reset after a mistake, swim, or missed line • The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise for returning to the present moment • Simple breathwork techniques to regulate your nervous system • How mindful movement strengthens confidence and focus One of the most powerful lessons from the river? Sometimes the most skillful move isn't paddling harder. It's embracing the pause.

Zach sits down with Louis-Jacob Campbell to ask him 10 questions on whitewater rescue. Louis-Jacob Campbell Interview | Perspectives on Whitewater Rescue This podcast is the audio version of the Gear Garage show, where Zach sits down with Louis-Jacob Campbell, an experienced river guide and rescue instructor from Quebec currently working in New Zealand. In this episode, they dive deep into the philosophies of river safety, comparing the professional worlds of first responders and recreational boaters while discussing the essential skills every guide should master. Episode Summary The conversation begins with Louis-Jacob explaining the unique co-op structure of his rafting business in Quebec, New Wave Expeditions (Expeditions Nouvelle Vague), which is owned by 28 staff members. The bulk of the interview focuses on his role as a rescue instructor for Raven Rescue (the Canadian provider for Rescue 3 International) and his approach to teaching different audiences. A major theme is the distinction between "whitewater rescue" for recreational boaters and "swiftwater rescue" (SRT) for professional first responders. Louis-Jacob notes that while the techniques are similar, the approach differs: boaters usually have a better "river sense" but need quick, on-the-fly solutions, whereas first responders often have more resources and equipment but must be taught the fundamental power of the river from scratch. They also discuss the value of keeping rescue systems simple, especially for new guides who can easily be overwhelmed by complex mechanical advantage setups. The discussion concludes with a deep dive into gear and knots. Louis-Jacob shares his "Big Five" essential knots and explains why he prefers specific equipment, like the Palm Nevis PFD, which acts as a mobile workstation for rescue professionals. Topics and links that Zach talked about in this episode Professional Training: Raven Rescue and Rescue 3 International. Outfitting: New Wave Expeditions in Quebec. Gear Favorites: Palm Nevis PFD and high-quality throw bags. Rescue Techniques: The "Pig Rig" 4:1 system versus a simple 3:1 Z-drag. Some of the Questions that Zach covered in the Q&A section Topic: Industry Philosophy. "Is whitewater rescue separate from swiftwater rescue?" Topic: Essential Skills. "If you could only pick five knots for a boater to know, which ones would they be?" Topic: Mechanical Advantage. "If there's a boat wrapped and you only get one system, which one do you pick?" Topic: Safety Gear. "What is the most important piece of gear in your rescue kit?" Topic: Training Methods. "How valuable is training with rescue tethers (live bait) for paddlers?" Zach's Key Takeaways from Louis-Jacob Keep it Simple: For most river scenarios, knowing how to attach a rope and make a loop (like a Figure 8) allows you to solve almost any problem. The "Pig Rig" Advantage: Louis-Jacob prefers the 4:1 Pig Rig because it uses an external line, meaning if the boat breaks free, you don't lose all your expensive pulleys and carabiners in the river. Gear as a Tool: A PFD isn't just for flotation; it's a workstation. Having a vest that can carry necessary tools comfortably is vital for a rescue professional.

He has decades of river guiding and expedition experience across the American West and internationally.

ParentingAces - The Junior Tennis and College Tennis Podcast
Welcome to Season 15 Episode 6 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week's guest, Reese Brantmeier, is one I've wanted to have on the pod for a few years, ever since watching her play at National Hardcourts in San Diego for the first time. I'm thrilled to get her on to discuss her unique junior development pathway to being a top junior player and the current NCAA Women's Singles Champion.Reese grew up in an area of the US known more for ice hockey than tennis. When she fell in love with our sport, her family knew they were going to have to think outside the box to help Reese reach her full potential. USTA soon recognized Reese's affinity and talent for tennis and supported her need for instruction and competition through trips to the National Campus for camps and training.Fast forward several years to Reese's outstanding college tennis career at the University of North Carolina, well-known for producing several top professional players. Side-lined by injury and multiple surgeries, Reese was determined to make her final year of college a great one, both on and off the court. As you will hear, she has worked hard in the classroom (education is very important in the Brantmeier household!) and on the tennis court and hopes to help her team win one more national championship in May!You can follow Reese on Instagram at https://instagram.com/rs.brntmr. You can learn more about her non-profit organization to bring tennis to more kids in her hometown of Whitewater, Wisconsin, at https://www.reesebrantmeierproject.com/.As always, I am available for one-to-one consults to work with you as you find your way through junior tennis and the college recruiting process. You can purchase and book online through our website at https://parentingaces.com/shop/category/consult-with-lisa-stone/.If you're so inclined, please share this – and all our episodes! – with your fellow tennis players, parents, and coaches.

Whether you're a seasoned river guide or a recreational boater, the conversation around whitewater safety is constantly evolving. In this featured interview, Zach Collier sits down with safety expert Jim Coffey to discuss the modern state of whitewater rescue, breaking down everything from technical gear debates to the fundamental ways we approach rescue education. Here is a summary of the key takeaways from their deep dive into the world of river safety. Whitewater vs. Swiftwater: What's in a Name? One of the first topics Zach and Jim tackled was the terminology we use. While the terms are often used interchangeably, Jim notes that the industry has developed a functional split: Swiftwater Rescue: Typically the domain of first responders and professional rescue services. Whitewater Rescue: The term more commonly representative by the boating community and river professionals. Jim emphasizes that organizations like Rescue 3 have formalized this by designing specific technician courses tailored to each group's unique environment and gear. The Learning Ladder: From Fundamentals to Mastery A major theme of the interview was the methodology of rescue instruction. Jim argues that many practitioners try to jump into complex scenarios before mastering the basics. He breaks rescue education into three distinct phases: Skills & Fundamentals: Similar to learning to skate before playing hockey, this phase focuses on individual proficiency in swimming, throwing, and boat handling. Coaching: Once the skills are present, this phase focuses on refining them and learning how to apply them effectively as a team. Expert/Specialist: At this level, training becomes scenario-driven, focusing on evaluation, judgment, and critical decision-making under high-pressure conditions. The Gear Debate: Flotation and Rescue Harnesses The conversation didn't shy away from technical debates regarding personal protective equipment (PPE): PFD Flotation: While some prefer high-flotation professional rescue vests, Jim advocates for a balance. He finds many "pro" jackets too bulky for the maneuverability needed in canoeing or kayaking, preferring high-performance vests like the Astral Green Jacket. Rescue Harnesses: Jim is a strong proponent of quick-release rescue harnesses but acknowledges they are advanced tools. The challenge for instructors is determining when a student is ready to move from simple techniques to using these more complex tools safely. Frequency vs. Severity When deciding what to teach (and what to practice), Jim uses a quadrant system to measure importance: High Frequency / High Severity: These are the essential skills that everyone must know because they happen often and have high stakes. Low Frequency / High Severity: These are the "once-in-a-career" scenarios (like complex pins) that still require rigorous training because the stakes are life and death. Moving Toward "Educated Discourse" Ultimately, the goal of these conversations isn't necessarily to reach a single "correct" answer. Instead, it's about fostering civil, educated discourse. By sharing different perspectives—from European "clean line" theories to various mechanical advantage systems—the entire whitewater community becomes more versatile and, ultimately, safer.

Happy New Year! This is the time of year when people make big changes. So, I'm bringing back my conversation with the co-author of Tomorrowmind. It's a fascinating book and especially relevant at this time of the year. Dr. Gabriella Rosen Kellerman writes that that career trajectories used to be like steamships (full steam ahead), and then they became more like sailboats (lots of tacking), but now we're swirling in whitewater. So how can we stay afloat? How can we flourish? “When you're kayaking in the whitewater. It's hard to get a sense of what could be around the bend, but if you know if what's coming up is a sudden cascade or versus another, you know, set of gentle bumps, or maybe it's a calmer space in the river, it can give you a great advantage.”On this episode of CRAFTED., we focus on PRISM, the five key skill groups that Gabriella says can help you be more successful: Prospection, Resilience, Innovation and creativity, Social support by way of rapid rapport, and Mattering and meaning. Gabriella was until recently the Chief Product Officer at BetterUp, a platform that helps organizations and people level up through a mixture of human and AI coaching. She originally appeared on the show in a two-part episode. Part one is includes more on the tomorrowmind skills and her career path; in part two, she describes how BetterUp builds products and innovated under her leadership.
