I had intended to include two more episodes in the Macabre Museums season. One about true crime Museums and a finale of paranormal museums. However, instead, I’ve decided to cut the season short for a couple of reasons. I won’t go into all of the nitty-gritty details but I will say that my family and I have endured a couple of health scares lately. It’s kind of pulled the world back into focus and made me reassess my priorities. So for now as I regroup and recalibrate, I’m putting the podcast on hold to concentrate on my family, my health, and my writing.  You can still jaunt with me online anytime at HauntJaunts.net, though. I really do appreciate you sailing the airwaves with me, whether it was during any of this season’s episodes or any of the others. And I do hope to catch back up with you again soon so I won’t say farewell forever but rather my usual, until our paths cross again, ciao for now.

What is a monster? The Oxford Languages dictionary defines a monster as “an imaginary creature that is typically large, ugly, and frightening.” Which is also what makes monsters fascinating, right? Their frightening aspect.  But also the fact that they may not be imaginary after all. They may actually be real. In this episode, we visit museums where monsters roam free --in our imaginations at least.  Stops include: Loch Ness Centre and Exhibition in Inverness, Scotland The Icelandic Sea Monster Museum and Coffee Shop in Bildudalur, Iceland International Mermaid Museum in Aberdeen, Washington The Miyoshi Mononoke Museum in Miyoshi, Japan - which features yokai (monsters) and yurei (ghosts) from Japanese folklore The National Leprechaun Museum of Ireland in Dublin, Ireland Flatwoods Monster Museum in Baxton, West Virginia International Monster Museum in Salem, Massachusetts Tom Devlin's Monster Museum in Boulder City, Nevada Distortions Monster World in Denver, Colorado The Long Island Monster Gallery in Mineola, New York International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine - The world's only cryptozoology museum Merrilyn Cryptid Museum - a one-of-kind online-only fictional exhibit that you have to see to believe.

There are really only two UFO museums: The Pine Bush UFO & Paranormal Museum in Pine Bush, New York, and  The International UFO Museum & Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico, a.k.a. what many consider the mecca of UFO museums. We explore both, as well as a couple of other museums with UFO connections, in this episode of Macabre Museums. Before we do, though, we examine how and when UFOs first entered America’s consciousness, which can really be traced back to one year: 1947. A lot of people credit the crash at Roswell with that, which was technically the first thing to happen in 1947, but it wasn't the first to make news. Kenneth Arnold's sighting at Mount Rainier as well as a transport plane out of Boise, Idaho, whose pilot, first officer, and stewardess observed "flying discs" were. Then we move on to Pine Bush's UFO history, which doesn't have one major event like Roswell did. Rather, it’s had decades-long consistent sightings.  After also talking about the UFO festivals and fairs in both Roswell and Pine Bush, we make a brief stop at two other museums: The Pennyroyal Area Museum in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, to check out the 1955 “Kelly Encounter” where Lucky Sutton and his family said little green men had landed on their farm and waged an attack on them. This is also where the idea of "little green men" were born. Seismique in Houston, Texas, which Houstonia Mag called a “Far-Out Journey.”  P.S. Apologies for the delay in releasing this week's episode. An unexpected, but now thankfully resolved, healthcare issue cropped up that I had to deal with first.

Did you know that America didn’t have an official national anthem until 1931? The same man who drew attention to that in 1929 is the same one we can pretty much credit with creating oddities museums. In this episode, we get to know Robert Ripley and his pioneering influence on the bizarre realm of oddities museums. What started as a comic strip series grew to become books, a radio show, a TV show with several revivals, and Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditoriums around the world, a legacy which has now grown to include over 100 Ripley brand attractions worldwide. And as the saying goes, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." Whether they know it or not, Robert Ripley and his odditoriums at least indirectly inspired the existence of these oddities museums that we also explore in this episode: 1. Museum of the Bizarre in Wilmington, North Carolina 2. Museum of the Weird in Austin, Texas 3. Graveface Museum in Savannah, Georgia 4. Glitchy's Oddities in Saskatoon, Canada Kind of like the eclectic collection of unusual artifacts in them --including everything from FeeGee mermaids and shrunken heads, to "freaks of nature," haunted objects, and horror movies props-- oddities museums are a rare breed. Maybe that’s what makes them so much fun to visit? Check-In Have you ever visited a Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum? Want more Haunt Jaunts? Jaunt with us online anytime at HauntJaunts.net.

Abracadabra. Hocus pocus. Alakazam. But which magicians were the first to use those now-famous, albeit stereotypical, conjuring words? Maybe the answer lies in the stops we’ll explore in this episode, which are magic museums around the world.  We start out with museums dedicated to one of the greatest magical showmen of all time: Harry Houdini. Then we progress from there. Stops include: The House of Houdini in Budapest, Hungary The Houdini Museum, Tour & Magic Show in Scranton, Pennsylvania Houdini Revealed, which was formerly known as the Houdini Museum of New York. It's actually currently closed but a note on their website says they're moving to a secret location in New Jersey. In the hopes that they reopen, I included them in this episode.  The House of Magic, or la Masion de La Magie in Blois, France The Musee de la Magie in Paris, France Magicum in Berlin, Germany The Vent Haven Museum in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, the World's Only Museum Dedicated to Ventriloquism The American Museum of Magic in Marshall, Michigan Honorable mentions also include the Houdini exhibit at the History Museum at the Castle in Appleton, Wisconsin, and the House of Cards magic-themed dining experience in Nashville, Tennessee. Even though it's not a museum, it does display posters from magic acts and framed historic playing cards, which sort of gives it a museum-ish feeling. Let’s use one more phrase to start this episode: open sesame. And wallah! Away we go!

In this episode we polka with the Skunk Ape in the Everglades, check out a Bigfoot butt print in Georgia, and visit the Bigfoot Handicapped Accessible Garden in Nebraska. And that's just scratching the surface of the booty-shaking fun we have getting swept off our feet in Bigfoot museums! Do you know which state officially declared one of its citizens their official Bigfoot Lady and issued an official proclamation designating October 20th the state’s official Bigfoot day?  And would you believe me if I told you there’s a Bigfoot beauty pageant where one lucky contestant is crowned Miss Skunk Ape?  If you answered no to any of the above, this episode has the answers!  All is revealed as we explore these 7 Bigfoot museums: Willow Creek-China Flat Museum in Willow Creek, CA Skunk Ape Research Headquarters in Ochopee, FL Bigfoot Discovery Museum in Felton, CA Sasquatch Outpost in Bailey, CO Expedition: Bigfoot! The Sasquatch Museum in Blue Ridge, GA Bigfoot Crossroads of America Museum and Research Center in Hastings, NE West Virginia Bigfoot Museum in Sutton, WV Want more Haunt Jaunts?

The ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future paid Scrooge a visit. We borrow that concept of three as we embark in search of haunted bars, ghost stories and energy centers with a New Year's Eve and/or New Year connection. Places we explore this episode include: Sydney, Australia - We check out two haunted hotels in the Rocks: The Australian Heritage Hotel and the Russel Hotel. Both aren't far from the Circular Quay, a great place to watch New Year's Eve fireworks in Sydney. London, England - We briefly examine the story of a ghost who some say jumps from Westminster Bridge as Big Ben rings in the New Year. Some even say it's Jack the Ripper... (Though that's doubtful.) Speaking of the infamous serial killer, we briefly check out a haunted pub he may have a connection to, The Ten Bells. We also visit the Grenadier, one of London’s oldest and many say most haunted pubs.  Edinburgh, Scotland - It wouldn't be a proper New Year without checking out Hogmanay and a pub that proclaims itself Edinburgh's most haunted, the Banshee Labyrinth. New York City, New York - For NYE travelers, Times Square is often a priority destination. One of NYC's most luxurious and storied hotels is not far from Times Square, the Algonquin. NYC Ghosts shared that the Algonquin conducts a mini exorcism every New Year’s Eve where staff dim the lights and march through the building banging pots and pans to try and ward off sinister spirits.  Nashville, Tennessee - This booming city is an up-and-comer NYE travel destination. Hank Williams Sr. died on New Year's Day. Not in Nashville, and years before Tootsie's Orchid Lounge ever opened. But some say the ghosts of the honky tonk's proprietor, Tootsie Bess, and the country music legend haunts the Broadway bar. Chicago, Illinois - Legend has it that a woman jumped from the 10th floor of the Drake Hotel on New Year's Eve. Some believe that may be the woman in red thought to haunt the hotel. Anchorage, Alaska - Another tormented woman who took her life on New Year's Eve can be found in the last stall on the left in the women's bathroom at the Captain Cook Hotel. Except, for her peace of mind and those using the facility, the possessive potty poltergeist's stall has been bolted shut from the inside to try and appease her restless --and sometimes expressive-- manifestations. Energy vortexes around the world - For those interested in ushering in the New Year with good vibrations, a visit to an energy vortex might be just the thing. We mention eight: Sedona, Arizona; Mount Shasta in California; Maui's Haleakalā Volcano in Hawai; Glastonbury and Stonehenge in England; Es Vedra off Ibizia's coast in Spain; the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt; and the Mayan Ruins in Tulum, Mexico. NOTE Because this episode mentions suicide, we feel it's important to stress that if you suspect someone you know is contemplating suicide, or you yourself are, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-272-8255. You don’t have to brave the darkness alone.

December is often called the most wonderful time of the year. But did you know that the Winter Solstice, which happens during December, is the second most haunted time of the year too? Samhain, or Halloween, is the first. The hauntings that happen during Halloween aren’t the same as the ghosts that come to visit during the Christmas season/Winter Solstice, though.  Samhain ghosts are more the dead in general coming back, whereas Yule hauntings are much more Dickens-esque. Like Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, Winter Solstice hauntings have a purpose and some link to the season’s death/rebirth theme. And while telling scary stories is a popular activity commonly associated with Halloween, it’s also an ancient Yuletide tradition. One that we partake in in this episode.  "Making Merry: Night of the Living Christmas Decorations,” is a short fiction story I wrote once upon a Christmastime long, long ago. It's not exactly a ghost story, but it does have some horror elements to it, so it does fall into the scary story realm. And because it's a tale of merriment, mischief, judgment, redemption, and love set during the Christmas season, it's definitely appropriate for the Yule season.   Storyline Teenagers Kyle and Justin come to regret their decision to get into some spirited mischief by vandalizing and sabotaging all of the Christmas decorations in their neighborhood. Especially when the decorations seek retaliation and retribution --and not even Santa can help them. Listener Discretion Advised There aren't a lot of bad words in this story, but there are a few, so it's not appropriate for younger listeners. Also, Santa Spoiler Alert! (His true identity is discussed.)   Want more Haunt Jaunts? Jaunt with us online anytime at HauntJaunts.net.

These places deck the halls in a major way for the holiday season. However, in addition to conjuring the Christmas spirit, they’re also great places to find restless spirits too. In this episode, we explore: The connection between Legend of Sleepy Hollow author Washington Irving, the Bracebridge Dinner at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park, and the possible ghost of Mary Curry Tresidor, one of the hotel's former operators. The haunted happenings at the Tinker Swiss Cottage in Rockford, Illinois. How they celebrate the spirit of Christmas past in Mystic, Connecticut. A Victorian Christmas in Cape May, New Jersey, where they know a thing or two about paranormal tourism which among their holiday tours they even have a Ghost of Christmas Past trolley tour.  What Christmas in historic Colonial Williamsburg has to offer. But warning, picking only a few haunted places to talk about was hard! The southern hospitality of Christmas in the Holy City, Charleston, South Carolina. Again, Charleston overflows with haunted places so it was a challenge to narrow down which ones to discuss. The grandeur of Christmas past amongst the Millionaire Cottages and the Jekyll Island Club in Jekyll Island, Georgia. Speaking of the "cottages," Jekyll may hold a record for most haunted mansions all in one place! So hop in our sleigh for haunted destinations steeped in history, mystery, and ghost stories that also include a healthy dose of Christmas magic!

In this episode, we explore cemeteries, state parks, and cities that all share something in common: Paranormal activity and names of things commonly associated with Christmas. There are even some UFO cases ahead, which may or may not be related to Santa and the reindeer pulling his sleigh.  Destinations include: Evergreen Cemetery in Owego, New York Evergreen, Alabama - with pit stops to the haunted McConnico Cemetery and Monroeville/Monroe County, the literary capital of Alabama The Evergreen Cemetery in Evergreen Park, Illinois Snowflake, Arizona - site of one of the most famous abduction cases in the U.S. that inspired the movie Fire in the Sky.  Holly Pond, Alabama - for another UFO sighting Donner Memorial State Park in Truckee, California  St Marys, Georgia - where we briefly explore the Oak Grove Cemetery before turning our attention to the city's crown jewel, the Orange Hall House Museum. We also make a quick stop to check out the Riverview Hotel's ghost story. Bethlehem, Pennsylvania - a fitting place to end the tour of haunted places with Christmas names. We briefly touch on a few of the city's haunts overall, such as Lehigh University and Moravian College, but we concentrate most on the restless spirits said to roam the Historic Hotel Bethlehem, located in the heart of Historic Moravian Bethlehem, a U.S National Historic Landmark District.  So let's "ho ho ho" hop to it and get this series started!

Join me starting December 6th as we explore that and more in the next themed season on the Haunt Jaunts podcast: Haunted Christmas. It’ll just be a short one, a mini-series season so to speak. But we’ll pack a lot of haunting festivities into it.  We’ll seek out places to spend time with the ghosts of Christmases past, as well as where to ring in a spirited New Year’s. And since Christmas is a great time for sharing scary ghost stories, we’ve got an original one of those too. Sort of a little spooky stocking stuffer for your ears.

Do you ever tinker with making or crafting stuff? What do you do with the leftover scraps? Toss them? Save them for another project? Repurpose them somehow?  I was left with some odds and ends after putting together this first official themed season here on the Haunt Jaunts podcast.  Say what? Leftovers of unsolved murders, ghosts, vampires, psychics, creepy haunted houses, and the devil? How can that be? I’ll show you as we embark on officially wrapping up the Haunting American True Crimes series with this bits and pieces bonus episode. Here's some of what we examine: What the years 1977 and 1990 have in common How often Unsolved Mysteries episodes popped up Psychic scammers named Uwanawich Debunking the story of John and Wayne Carter, the alleged ghost vampire brothers of New Orleans (who never really existed) The Westerfeld dollhouse replica, the Laughing Sal Replica and the Westfield Watcher house Devil Anse Hatfield, another case of a devil who never stood trial Serial killers, Satanic Panic and the degree of the devil Sources: https://historycollection.com/1977-worst-year-ever-serial-killers/ https://www.hauntjaunts.net/1990-was-a-popular-year-for-ghosts-solving-their-own-murders/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Nygaard https://deathpenaltyusa.org/usa1/state/louisiana3.htm https://www.hauntjaunts.net/the-haunted-museums-dollhouse-of-the-damned-5-episode-questions/ https://www.hauntjaunts.net/admit-two-a-jaunt-to-zak-bagans-haunted-museum/ https://www.biography.com/.amp/military-figure/devil-anse-hatfield https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEfNXJgs6F0 Want more Haunt Jaunts?

*Warning* This episode includes details of child murders, which some listeners may find upsetting. Listener discretion is advised.  The Devil in the White City. The Devil’s Rooming House. The Devil Made Me Do It.  The first two are titles of books about American serial killers. The last one is a movie title about a murder that inspired the third movie in the Conjuring franchise You might have noticed they all have something in common. Devil is in all of their titles. That’s because the criminals are either likened to being the devil themselves or tried to blame the devil for their deeds. There have also been cases where Satanists have been accused of killing in the name of the devil --or were planning to. Like the 2018 case of the 11 and 12-year old middle schoolers in Florida. The girls were luckily caught and arrested before they could carry out their mass murder/suicide plot, though. But what about if we look at it from his perspective --"he" being the Devil-- and play devil’s advocate, so to speak.  Don’t worry. We’re not venturing into satanism territory. Just flipping the script.  The Devil is often named as a co-conspirator in crimes, but has he ever been the target of murder? Has he ever been sued?  That’s what we’re going to explore in this episode of Haunting American True Crimes.

Sometimes houses aren’t haunted by ghosts. Sometimes the restless spirits living under the same roof as the legitimate owners and tenants aren’t unseen souls of the dearly departed. They’re very much alive and secretly dwelling within.  Wait, what? That’s just the stuff of urban legends and horror movies like Crawlspace, Hider in the House, or People Under the Stairs, right? Nope.  There have been real-life cases of uninvited phantom boarders and stalkers, such as Denver's Spiderman of Moncrieff Place and New Jersey's Westfield Watcher. Those are the two cases we examine in this episode of Haunting American True Crimes. And if you happen to know the name of the movie I'm struggling to remember, or if you think it could be The Unseen, let me know. Drop a line to podcast@HauntJaunts.net.

You might expect something like Crime Categories to appear in the index of the Encyclopedia of American Crime. Listed underneath that heading are a variety of crimes you’d also expect to see: everything from arson and bank robberies to kidnapping, murder, and rape. But there were a couple of crimes I wasn’t expecting, such as Spiritualism, which I discussed in the last episode. But the other shocker was vampires. Of course, that was an entry I had to check out.  Turns out it wasn’t referring to the stereotypical bloodsuckers pop culture has conditioned us to expect. It was about vice extortionists. If you’re wondering what the heck that is, stick around. We’ll be talking about those kinds of vampires --which are bloodsuckers in their own right-- as well as people who have committed murder under the delusion of being the more traditional vampires --blood-drinking and all-- in this episode of Haunting American True Crimes. We examine three cases of killer vampires in particular: The Vampire of Sacramento Richard Trenton Chase James P. Riva, the vampire who murdered his own grandma with gold-tipped bullets Roderick Ferrell and his Kentucky Vampire Clan  Sources Referenced in This Episode The Encyclopedia of American Crime The Sacramento Bee, Jan. 30, 1978   The Sacramento Bee, Jan. 31, 1978 Santa Cruz Sentinel, Oct. 27, 1981 The Boston Globe, Nov. 29, 1996 The Boston Globe, Dec. 8, 1996 The Palm Beach Post, Feb. 6, 1998 The Orlando Sentinel, Nov. 10, 2000 https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/51204/8-real-life-vampire-crimes https://www.browardpalmbeach.com/news/josephine-smith-self-proclaimed-vampire-allegedly-bit-69-year-old-man-outside-hooters-6466691 https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/vampire_arrested_in_flori https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-so-called-dracula-killer https://www.escapistmagazine.com/face-chomping-vampire-attacks-geriatric-at-hooters/ Want more Haunt Jaunts?

You expect sting operations with certain criminal activities like gambling, prostitution, and illegal drugs. And then there’s Chris Hansen’s appropriately named To Catch a Predator. It uses modern-day technology employed by some of the vilest forms of criminals ever --pedophiles and child molesters-- to catch them red-handed. But what about psychics? Would it surprise you to know that police have performed stings over the years to catch psychic cons and swindlers too?  That’s not to say all psychics are frauds  --or are they?  I’ll leave that up to you to decide as we examine cases of Spiritualism, Spirit Crimes, and Psychic Stings in this episode of Haunting American True Crimes. We start with the Fox Sisters, a.k.a. the Rochester Rappers, and the birth of American spiritualism --which was a hoax in its own right. Then we examine cases of psychic swindlers who have perpetrated gypsy curse scams over the years, from the early 1900s up until the present day. And you can't have an episode about psychic frauds without including those who set out to catch them in the act, including Harry Houdini, Houdini's ghostbusting undercover agent, Rose Mackenberg, James Randi, and Bob Nygaard. Perhaps Rose Mackenberg put it best: it wasn’t that she was a nonbeliever in spiritualism or unwilling to be convinced in the existence of the afterlife...she just had yet to see any proof of it. That's not to say it doesn't exist. I couldn't help but reference two psychics, Louis Rader and Jane Coates, who both predicted President Warren G. Harding’s death before it happened. Not that in either case it was part of a gypsy curse or scam, but Rader was arrested for his prophecy. Perhaps wrongly so? Whether you believe in psychics or not, I hope you enjoy this jaunt into another episode of Haunting American True Crimes.

Perhaps ghosts haven't helped solve their own murders as dramatically as portrayed in fiction --or have they? I’ll let you be the judge of that as we explore a few such cases in this episode of Haunting American True Crimes. We start off by examining the case of Zona Heaster Shue, a.k.a. The Greenbrier Ghost. A historical marker in West Virginia declares hers is the only known case in which testimony from a ghost helped convict a murderer. Testimony entered into trial may not have factored into Teresita Basa or Rebecca Cornell's murderers being brought to justice, but the ghosts of these women did materialize to help catch their killers. Thank you for joining me for this episode of Haunting American True Crimes. If you have a favorite book or movie with the plotline of a ghost helping to solve their own murder, I’d love to hear about it --or rather read about it. Send me an email at podcast@hauntjaunts.net. You can also send me your thoughts on this episode --or any other you've heard for that matter. Mostly, I hope you enjoy taking this audio voyage with me. Thank you for your time.

A comment on one of my posts from author Priscilla Bettis got me thinking. She had wondered if any of the stories counselors told around summer camp campfires had any basis in fact.  Well, that sparked my curiosity and just begged me to research it.  That's how I learned about the Camp Scott Murders. Once I did, I instantly wondered if it had inspired the Friday the 13th movies. Of that, I’m not sure. (It's doubtful. The writers have never admitted to it.) However, I do know it inspired this, our first serialized season of the Haunt Jaunts podcast: Haunting American True Crimes. And since it was the inspiration for the series, our first case examines the Camp Scott Murders. The late 1970s case still technically remains unsolved today. In 1978, Gene Leroy Hart was charged with the 1977 murders of Girl Scouts Lori Lee Farmer, Doris Denise Milner, and Michele Heather Guse at Camp Scott in Oklahoma. But a jury acquitted him in 1979. What happened to him after that? And to the families of those little girls? We answer both of those questions while inevitably raising others, such as "Could DNA evidence one day once and for all identify the killer and solve the case?" We also look into another case the Sun once said could have also inspired Friday the 13th: the Lake Bodom massacre in Finland. Then we circle back around to Camp Scott. Because of its dark history, it never reopened after June 13, 1977. It’s been abandoned ever since. I’m sure paranormal investigators and the para-curious can’t help but wonder, “Is it haunted?”  It’s a valid question given the camp’s tragic history, even one that crossed my mind when I first learned of this story, but it’s also one of those cases that begs more respect than usual. We explore why ghost hunting just feels unacceptable in some cases, and why Camp Scott and the events that transpired there is one of them.
