Buried Secrets Podcast - The Pigman of Bonnie Brae Bridge (Haunted Denton, Texas)
play

07/14/23 • 38 min

This episode is about the legendary pigman of Denton, Texas. Kinda.

The thing is, I'd never heard of the pigman, so it's really an episode about how urban legends and folklore are spread, what makes one urban legend take off while another lingers in obscurity, and what our urban legends say about us.

Though I do also tell the story of the pigman somewhere in there.

Highlights include:

  • the "Cowboy Mafia"
  • the WPA Folklore Project

Content note: this episode contains a brief mention of sexual assault, stories about violent attacks that lead to disfigurement, quoted language that suggests that facial disfigurement is tied to someone’s moral character, mentions of the war on drugs and corruption in the U.S. legal system.

Check out the shownotes.

The Old Alton Bridge, or Goatman’s Bridge, is a famously haunted site in north Texas.

But in my research, I’ve discovered that everything may not be as it seems at the Old Alton Bridge . . .

Highlights include: • a Reddit troll who makes some wild claims about the bridge • what it was like growing up in north Texas • a look at trickster elements of the paranormal

Buried Secrets Podcast - Investigating Salem's Hawthorne Hotel, Part 3
play

05/22/20 • 60 min

Continuing our look at Salem's most haunted hotel, we unearth a strange synchronicity in the history of the land that the Hawthorne Hotel stands on and take a look at the mysterious Salem Marine Society.

Following up on a lead that Chris found last time, we dive into what happened at the site of Salem's famously haunted Hawthorne Hotel. We find a really strange set of circumstances that we can't believe aren't spelled out more in many of the sources we found online. We also correct a big inaccuracy perpetuated by many websites about the Hawthorne Hotel.

Highlights include: Arson, a man named Estes, two buildings with the same name burning down on the same weekend, a ship's cabin located on the hotel's rooftop, and more

Buried Secrets Podcast - Dagger John: Calvary Cemetery, NYC (Part 2)
play

09/18/20 • 42 min

Dagger John, New York City's most influential and vicious archbishop, had a huge impact, whether he was consecrating Calvary Cemetery and founding Fordham University, or peppering the mayor with threats to burn down the city.

"Are you afraid," asked the mayor, "that some of your churches will be burned?" "No, sir; but I am afraid that some of yours will be burned. We can protect our own. I come to warn you for your own good."

Highlights include: • The "Black Coats," aka America's evil wizards, aka the Jesuit colonizers • The Mohawks who built Manhattan • Threats to burn down the city • What happened on the land that became Calvary Cemetery • The first saint born in the US, a Protestant society woman with eleven children who became a Catholic nun • Secret societies in Ireland

Buried Secrets Podcast - Planchette (Ouija Board Series)

Planchette (Ouija Board Series)

Buried Secrets Podcast

play

05/29/20 • 60 min

We begin a series about Ouija boards, digging into the strange history of the much admired and maligned method of communicating with spirits and/or having fun at parties.

Before Ouija, there was planchette. Invented in Paris in the 1850s, planchette was a method of automatic writing. Much like the planchette we recognize from today's Ouija boards, it was a heart-shaped plank of wood. But it was much larger than today's planchettes, rested on wheels or casters, and had a slot to put a pencil through. One or several people would rest their hands on the planchette, and see what messages come through.

Highlights include: The Spiritualist movement, weird personifications of "Planchette," plenty of alarmist rhetoric about this popular parlor game/occult technique, and the story of a young woman in New Orleans who supposedly died as a result of her obsession with planchette

This is the first of ?? episodes about Ouija boards. We'll be back next week to talk about the invention of Ouija boards and spirit boards!

Buried Secrets Podcast - Kill Daddy: The Turley Ouija Board Murder (Ouija Board Series)
play

07/24/20 • 47 min

In 1933, a teenage girl shot her father on the orders of a Ouija board. Or was it her former-beauty-queen mother who encouraged the violence?

When playing with a Ouija board with her mother, 14-year-old Mattie Turley receives the message that she must kill her father so her mother can be free to marry a handsome cowboy.

Her mother, Dorothea, who had won a beauty contest in 1916 and had attended the London Academy of Music, had married instead of following her dream of being an actress. Shortly after the family moved to an isolated cabin in the mountains of Arizona, Dorothea began consulting the Ouija board and making strange demands because of it. Was she just manipulating the people around her for her own purposes, or was something more mysterious afoot?

Highlights include: • The “American Venus” beauty contest • A manipulative mother • A stereotypical cowboy • A Ouija-ordered murder • Scandal at a girls’ reform school • America’s creepy salute • Misandry vs. misogyny

Buried Secrets Podcast - The Book of Thoth and the First Egyptologist
play

10/09/20 • 32 min

A look at the legendary Book of Thoth and the historical figure who inspired Ancient Egypt's most famous fictional sorcerer and is considered the first Egyptologist.

Setne Khamwas, aka Prince Khaemweset, was the son of Ramesses the Great, as well as a high priest of Ptah, and a historian with a passion for preserving Ancient Egyptian history. He traveled around Egypt, restoring sites and monuments from the Old Kingdom, including the famous Pyramids at Giza. He's a big factor in why so many famous Ancient Egyptian sites are in relatively good repair. He's also behind some ancient alien theories.

The Book of Thoth, a book of magic that was featured in the fictional stories about Setne Khamwas, also has an interesting backstory, and links to ceremonial magic, Hermes Trismegistus, and hermeticism in general.

Highlights include:

• Ancient aliens • A magical bull • Field mice fighting battles • The good and bad parts of being an ancient historian/tomb raider

Buried Secrets Podcast - Thomas Edison's Spirit Telegraph

Thomas Edison's Spirit Telegraph

Buried Secrets Podcast

play

08/07/20 • 30 min

A look at an apparatus to contact the spirit world that Thomas Edison claimed to be working on, but which never surfaced.

In 1920, famed inventor Thomas Edison gave a series of interviews bragging about a device he was testing, a spirit telegraph, which spiritualists could use to give their seances a more scientific bent. Though he despised Ouija boards, table tipping, and other trappings of spiritualism, Edison believed that his new invention could determine whether the human personality persisted after death, once and for all. The only problem? The invention never materialized.

Highlights include: • Creepy uses for the phonograph • The "little people" or "life units" that make up our bodies • Electrocuting an elephant in Coney Island • A chapter of Edison's diary that his family had removed • Edison's ghost

Note: At 3:36-4:40 there're details of a person being executed via electric chair, and at 4:40-5:26 there're details of an elephant being electrocuted.
