Description
ep·i·taph [ˈepəˌtaf]
NOUN
1. a speech or written passage composed in commemoration of a dead person
2. a final judgment on a person or thing
Epitaph is a bi-weekly, paranormal podcast dedicated to doing more than just sharing ghost stories and lore. We follow the ghosts back to the where their stories began.
We will share the legends, but we will also dig deep into the historical record -- newspaper archives, genealogical records, and other primary source documents -- to find out just who these ghosts were before, steal a glimpse into their lives and, then, share their stories with you.
We will try to discover how they died, what things they may have left unfinished, and how their stories fit within the legends they've become.
And maybe, by telling their stories, we can help them finally find rest.

In May of 1916, detectives in Czinkota, Hungary, made a gruesome discovery: two dozen people, drained of blood, and preserved in metal barrels full of wood alcohol. Their murderer was Bela Kiss, a man who'd been recently killed in World War I.
Except that, even after his supposed death, Bela Kiss continued to be seen and continued to remain one step ahead of capture for the next three decades.
On this episode, we explore the gruesome crimes of serial killer Bela Kiss, the Vampire of Czinkota.
The mythology of the vampire dates back millennia. But, in the 16th and 17th centuries, in the mountains of southeastern Europe, these sorts of legends -- stories of the dead who'd come back to harm and kill the living -- started having names attached.
In this episode, we begin our exploration of "real vampires" with the stories of three of these men -- Giure Grando, Petar Blagojevic, and Arnod Paole -- and, when possible, those that became their victims
Resurrection Mary is one of Chicago's most famous ghosts.
For decades, people fascinated with the story have been trying to answer the question: Who was she?
Over the years, a number of "candidates" have been put forth. And, in researching this episode, we found one of our own.
On this episode, we present the story of Mary Kovac who, we believe, may have been the young woman whose ghost Jerry Palus met at the Liberty Grove and Hall in 1939: The original Resurrection Mary.
Resurrection Mary is one of Chicago's most famous ghosts and, over the years, a number of "candidates" have been put to answer the question: Who was she?
Mary Bregovy, like the girl in the Resurrection Mary legend, had lived on Damen Avenue and had died in an automobile accident in the 1930s. But, despite people who knew her while she was alive having reported seeing her on Archer Avenue after her death, Mary Bregovy didn't look like the girl who is normally described in Resurrection Mary sightings.
On this episode, we discuss how she fits into the Resurrection Mary legend.
Chicago's most famous Vanishing Hitchhiker is, without a doubt, the ghost of the young woman (or women) who has come to be called Resurrection Mary. But, we'll come back to that.
On this episode, we explore the story of one of Chicago's other vanishing hitchhikers: The Waldheim Flapper.
